Chapter Eight: Trains and Straight Lines
Summary: Luffy thinks about trains and whether they do travel in a straight line.

"Train tracks! Grandma's house!" Luffy thought randomly. "Yeah, I don't know where I got that from. I don't even have a grandma. It's just part of… Something. Speaking of trains, I wonder how far they go. I've been on a train before but that was on water. Literally. But do regular trains really go in a straight line following one track or do they turn? Hm… I'm surprised they never crash into each other. That's kind of scary to think about. How do they get to another city if they don't turn, though? I don't get it. If the ocean was one straight line would we ever find an island or just keep going straight forever? This is confusing... I think there would be islands. Maybe. I don't know. I wonder if it's possible to connect one train track in a straight line and have it go all around the world without breaking or any interrip… Inter… What's the word? Uh… Interru… Something. Ah, whatever! It's another word for mess ups! I think. Anyway, I wonder if that's possible. Hm… In the world that we live in... Anything is possible because someone always finds a way to make the impossible possible."
Then Luffy stood up and headed for the men's quarters.
"Possible is impossible and impossible is possible. Heh. Try saying that three times fast. Time to sleep. Good night!"
I know it's short. Then again, there all short. They are one shots after all! XD
So yeah, the first two mini sentences that Luffy thinks about is something my little brother and I used to say every time we passed the train tracks because our grandma's house was literally right by them. That was… Years ago. I'm not old so don't go thinking it was like, 50 years ago or something. Lol! It was only about ten years ago. Define 'only'. XD
Oh, and it is time to sleep so good night! I'll try to update tomorrow!
Review, please! :D
