Clara takes a late-night train that suddenly veers into a foggy landscape she doesn’t recognize. Each carriage reveals a different era of history, and the passengers are people who have died in tragic ways.
She realizes that the train is a liminal space for lost souls, and she must navigate the labyrinth of carriages, helping the passengers reconcile their regrets to move on—without losing herself in the process.
The climax: Clara faces a choice between returning to her own life or remaining as a guide for the lost, sacrificing her existence to save others.

Hunny
Chapter 2: Fire in Her Bones Arkansas, Late 1940s Hunny didn’t walk. She staked claim — dust rising in her wake like defiance made tangible. Every step she took was a declaration, a dare to any soul within earshot. Her hips swung more than necessary, reckless as Sunday church bells, while saddle shoes slapped the dusty road. Hunny always walked with a purpose, but what that purpose was, most folks missed, and she didn’t share.
