Jesse Infinity Train Novels & Stories

And then, right on cue, the giant display board lit up: “A.H.E.R.S.M. Presents: The First Aeternum Freight Train Deployment” A hush fell over the terminal. And through the thick glass wall of the VIP observatory, I saw it. Steel wheels screeched softly as the first freight locomotive rolled in—sleek, powerful, painted in Aeternum’s deep navy and gold crest. Dozens of container cars followed, each uniform in design, securely locked and stacked two-high. The entire train was nearly a kilometer long. Minister Rafaela stood at the podium on the terminal stage, her lab coat traded for a ceremonial navy uniform stitched with silver embroidery. Her voice rang out clearly through the national live b

Our footsteps echoed slightly. “Luck is on our side, Carl. There’s a train already here.” As the door behind us automatically resealed itself noisily, I focused on the red train in front of us. It looked like a high speed magnetic train one might find in Japan or Europe, not some American Amtrak passenger train. There were six train cars. The first five looked unoccupied. The sixth car looked very full. “Don’t stare at the occupants of the rear car, Carl. Try to walk as normally as you can and pretend you’re not injured. It is important that you and I look as nonchalant as possible.”

m. Amtrak. Late fare booking. No bags. Just us. Cassie sat beside me on the train, soaked in silence. She shivered as she wrapped her hoodie around herself. "I don't think I know who I am anymore," she whispered. "You're Cassie Jones," I told her. "You've always been. Whether they watched, programmed, or manipulated—you were always you." "I wish I thought so." I looked at her--actually looked at her. Her lips were full and pursed into consideration. The rise of her waistline with each breath. The dance of flames in her eyes, even in fragments.

I just shake my head “No, I’ll grab some clothes on route, I don’t want to risk waking Harlow and her asking questions while we’re not sure what is going on with her” He nods sagely “Good thinking, I’ll manage her in the morning when she wakes. Only I will truly know where you are going. Be safe and I hope with everything in me that this works. I’ll keep trying to get to Amelia.” I hug him and then waste no time in heading for the doors, grabbing some car keys from the hook I dash out into the cool air and make my way to the private airfield where our jet is. The benefits of living forever is you accumulate a lot of wealth, it comes in handy in an emergency.

"The manifest is secure, Chairman. My teams have loaded the physical asset cases into the cliff elevator. The train cars are empty." "CLEAR THE BRIDGEHEADS, MARCUS " Julian commanded, his voice final. "Remove the stone barricades. Unlock the diesel locomotive's pneumatic lines. Let them run their steel cars all the way to the Atlantic shipping docks. They have nothing left to trade." "Understood, Chairman. We are pulling back the crossfire lines now " Marcus replied, signaling his operators. Julian didn't wait to watch the train depart. He turned toward the iron-reinforced cliff elevator, his mind already shifting away from the ghosts of his past.

“I did miss you, Lena. You have to see my fort and my skateboard. My best friend Cory painted his, and I’m going to paint mine, and─.” “Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up, champ, I just got here. How about we back up, and you say hi to my boyfriend, Traeger?” Jesse blinks rapidly before he hones in on Traeger’s form. His eyes widen as he takes in the giant man, who he somehow missed in his excitement. Traeger squats down and gives my brother a friendly smile. “Hi, Jesse.” He mutters kindly. Jesse’s mouth gapes open. “Wow, you’re a giant.” He states honestly. “When I grow up, I want to be as tall as you. Do you play video games?”

After all, we are taught to never judge a book by it’s cover. Taking the seat, he glares at me and it makes me feel uncomfortable. I turn my attention to the window and it’s starting to get dark. Dark ominous clouds form over head and it looks like it’s going to storm. With a sigh, I ignore the burning gaze as I watch the scenery whizz by in a blur. It brings me back to the night I nearly died when Damien took me to save Jessica. I shudder at the thought. The train begins to slow before it comes to a complete stop on the tracks. The train driver’s voice comes over the tannoy.

I asked. "It is going to be hard to get in. Just trust me, okay?" Jasper came up behind me and firmly placed his hands on my shoulders. Jasper reached out and gently took my hand as the train came to a stop. Jasper took the lead and initiated the pushing motion with the other guys, allowing me to join in. The crowd is pushing the passengers onto the train, and we can hear the door opening, indicating that it is about to close. Jasper exerted all his strength to pull me closer as a crowd separated us. He removed those who were standing in our way. Jasper quickly put his arm around my back and held onto the handrail on the ceiling.

“How many people will you need to carry the train for you?” Josie thought of something and then shouted at the door, “The flower boys and girls can come in.” The Ares children walked in with Jens and Baby Robbie wearing black tuxes and the girls in white muslin dresses. The sight of them walking over in an orderly manner was beautiful. Josie assigned tasks to each of them. “Jen, Robbie, Zetty, and Thirteen, the four of you will carry Mommy’s train later. Other sisters, you’ll have to use your skills to stop Daddy from entering the door.”
