Purgatory
As the train move it became increasingly clear.the abnormality of the journey I’ve taken no ticket no invite just blackout I can’t even remember the day before everything,became a blur.
After collecting myself I became aware of my situation I was in the passenger compartment of a train
Soft leather seats lined the boxcar as far as the eyes could travel eying the place the door stood to be greeted by a swirling black void and a plac on the wall next to it.
Turning around gave the same view
Solid black and burgundy curtains covers the window along the boxcar.
No sign of life besides me hurrying to my feet.curiosity took over me as I approached one of the windows .the curtains soft to the touch moved easily.
revealing an sun set and the void of space almost pitch black save for hundreds of small lights
Suddenly a intercom burst in to life
All passengers are aboard we’ll now commence the engine start up sequence a cold robotic voice rang out
Now passengers if you look to the two swirling voids to your immediate left and right door way I can assure you will not harm you it just changes the boxcar your will be standing it
Purely safe and sound except for one thing your pass if your pass is not one u as you enter the void all bets are off find your pass now it should be on your person
After a quick and frantic pat down i pulled it out no bigger than a credit card and a hard cold metal laying it in his palm as he observed it a small hole dug in one side
Two metal pieces began to work there way out slowly at first before speeding up locking the card to his palm
Now that the pass is tightly secured there’s no need to worry the intercom began
You may come and go now we do hope you both enjoy your travel time goodbye before fading out
That left him with his thoughts after debating with himself for what felt like hours he built up the courage. To approach the left void
Muttering a small prayer before entering it
Again a boxcar but a-subway train as if he stepped it to a morning commute
But that’s not what drew his eye far in the fronted the subway was a woman
Her piercing eyes stared into mine and mine hers
After a few long seconds I ventured a question
Hi…
The word hung in the air for several moments
Her glare softened but forward before saying
Hi…
