Nowhere train
Azuki’s eyes opened to see a ceiling she wasn’t used to. An odd round shape. She felt dazed as she awoke from her slumber, recovering from another day taking care of her ageing parents who just seemed to get more and more demanding of her as they got older, or perhaps as she got older and older. The family disappointment through no fault of her own, she thought to herself. Seeing a new ceiling was a strange relief to her, maybe she got kidnapped in the night? Maybe the house caught fire, and this was the afterlife? Or perhaps she was still asleep, dreaming of waking up somewhere new. She was so transfixed in these thoughts, that she didn’t notice the vibrations.
