Train Runner, by Ashik Masud

On my way to Kishoreganj by train I found this boy name Masum seating on an open door when the train was running. This is very risky but he is a regular train rider. Due to the huge population in the country, as well as for shocking poverty, many people are forced to borrow a ride now and then. Some are so poor that they cannot even buy ticket. He is one of them.
