This is More of a Not-Traveling-at-All story about me failing a low-stakes trip with my friends, but here goes. I've been feeling like a layabout being trapped in my parents' place during Covid 19 and I thought I'd try to get out of the house. I had to return from traveling in Mexico when the...

It was around 9:00 when our tired, insect-bitten legs hauled our fatigued bodies towards the abandoned railroad trestle bridge. Crossing earlier in the day had been difficult enough - many of the tracks were rotten, cracked or missing - but it was now dark, and the sliver of a moon shone only...
