Mary brought me onto a slow train, fleeing the thunderstorm that was about to descend. The train rumbled on the tracks, the carriage buzzing with life.
Sunlight streamed through the windows onto my closed eyelids. Outside, I was sure that the world was filled with beauty and life, but I no longer had the strength to open my eyes and see any of it.
Leaning in close to my ear, Mary whispered, "I know it's really warm and comfortable, but don't fall asleep yet, okay? We haven't escaped the storm yet."
