The Train of Light
What is that noise? And why do I feel like I am moving? I know I drank way too much last night and smoked too much pot, but I know I didn’t fall asleep in the back of somebody’s car! I don’t think I did anyway! I guess it is possible with the way I have been behaving. Still grieving from the death of my daughter, I had not been making the best decisions. My preferred state of being lately has been numb. Life hurts too much. I slowly opened my eyes expecting to see the back of a front seat or have my face smashed against someone’s passenger window, but instead I awoke to find myself lying on the floor of a train! A very fast-moving train. I shot straight up and looked around. Where was I and how did I get here? It took me a few seconds to clear my head to fully comprehend where I was and that this train was moving very fast with no sign of stopping. This was not an ordinary train. Everything was white and made of shiny steel. The seats were like church pews and the windows did not open. I was in the front car, so I could see myself hurling down the tracks! I had to be dreaming. I pinched myself trying to wake up. It did not work. I slapped my face, like in the movies, again I did not wake up! I looked around expecting to see more people and realized that there were only two others in the car with me. They were in the very back and they did not look friendly. They were dark figures in hoodies. Their eyes seemed to glow, and they just stared at me. They were pretty scary! Where was this train heading? How do I make it stop?
