Where shadows breath. Content Warning.
The year was 2010. I was in class 9 at the time and was only 16 years old. Fear was something I didn't really understand at this age.

The Last Passenger So, she hopped on the train. Although, she was not the only one…. Content Warning.
It was just about midnight when Maya walked down the stairs. There were very few people at the station, just the noise of the wind blowing the old newspapers on the floor. The train rolled in, which was the last time that night, and it was not easy to see as its lights made their way through the dark. Maya tightly hugged her coat around herself and entered the nearest carriage.
