Flashback

-The heart beat of a train-
Why am I crying?
-The shaking of the ground-
The pounding of my heart.
-The maddening scream-
The scream…it draws me.
-It’s coming…closer-
Who is staring at me?
-Screaming-
Blackness outside.
-Daring me-
Driven from the night.
-Stand in front-
It’s only the train…
