He swung his arms, pointing the elbows out at right angles. Everything he did was accompanied by a song. A high, sweet voice, tuneful and happy, but a simple lyric. "All the choo choos off" repeated until the chore was accomplished. The train controller watched carefully as the trains were pushed gently through the tunnel. Attending to each wheel lovingly, as they wound their way round the corner. His furry companion, sat crossed legged looking out longingly at the birds. A gentle lick, a sigh and he settled down resting his head, but eyes alert and following the trains every move. A slow blink. The texture of the wheels was cool and smooth on his cheeks, as he ran them up and down. The reassurance of their predictable nature, soothing.
