“But, here, I have my ticket,” I showed him the phone with the barcode to scan. I could feel the train taking off.
He said, “You see these chips up here,” he pointed above the seats to a strip of metal, I could see green and yellow chips all lined up and down the aisle. I peeked my head up over my seat and saw two red chips.
