A young boy is brought to the station by his father to watch the yellow trains speed in and out; a ritual that both uncovers and hides truths about their family.

Jacob Schlote is based in St. Louis, Missouri. By day he works at a corporate office, by night, he works on the craft. He lives in an old, well built brick house, along with his loving dog, Tulla. Feel free to reach out on Twitter, and give him a reason to use it: @JacobtheAuthor

Rowan Bartolomei is a 23 year old gender non-conforming trans man who is currently pursuing an education entailing biology, ecology, speciation and genomics. He has created art since early childhood, which overtime has become heavily influenced by his relationship with his sexuality and gender. His art transfixes upon androgynous forms, a love for the human body, and for the beasts of the world. He finds inspiration in Dionysus, Minoan clothing and dress, and the lyssa virus that brings images of maddened and fleeting life. Currently, Rowan lives with his husband Lance, and their beloved siamese cat Lotus who often interrupts their long cooking sessions with her shrill little meows.
