Train ride! Bump-bump. Chug-chug. Slow. Faster. Faster. Off we go. Long train snaking through the night. Dim. Gray. Nowhere light. Night train, night train, hold-on-tight train. Peek. Black. Nose to glass. Watch the colors as we pass. Clang-clang. Ding-ding. Town ahead. Gate down. Blink-blink. Hello, red.
