The Last Train Raid

By Havana music

Indeed. My employer took my life in a brutal manner. He forcefully struck my head against the door, threw me to the floor, and tightened his grip around my neck while declaring that I would never receive a raise. Furthermore, the shattered vase bearing my fingerprints provided him with a pretext for claiming self-defense, I recounted. A tear rolled down my cheek. Despite Bob's assurance that I would no longer experience pain, I was still engulfed in excruciating agony.

The lights flickered, and abruptly, the train began to decelerate. A sense of dread washed over me as we entered a tunnel, plunging us into complete darkness.

Bob's face contorted into a sinister grin, hinting at something malevolent beneath the surface.

“Welcome to your final destination,” Bob proclaimed, his laughter reverberating ominously.

As the train came to a halt, the doors opened to reveal an abyss, a swirling mist that seemed to draw me in. I realized with horror that I was not escaping; I was moving toward the conclusion of my tale, one that I had never truly begun.

In that instant, the reality struck me with overwhelming force. I was not merely a passenger. This was the concluding chapter of my existence, a story that had been orchestrated by the creators from the very beginning.

“If you’re curious about them, know that you humans are merely entertainment for them; our souls are recyclable and can be reused whenever the creators grow weary,” Bob elaborated.

I wept more intensely.
