From the creative imagination of Monica Byrne, here’s a story set in India about a railway journey leading to an unexpected destination. Madurai, a major city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is home to the Meenakshi Amman Temple, which figures significantly in the story. The original text version of Night Train to Madurai, can also be found on her website.
