Mighty Express: Train Trouble Novels & Stories

I ran as fast as I could without stopping. My heart was pounding really fast. “I have killed Logan. I have killed Logan. I have killed Logan,” my heart continued to remind me. Fortunately for me, I did not have to run long enough before I heard the sound of a moving train.

I spotted the train that was about to move, its doors closing one after the other. “The train!” I signaled Brendon. We raced towards the train, my muscles pushing against my will with every strength that brewed in me. Brendon arrived at the train before me and held the door open until I arrived.

Passengers poured out of the train, confused and terrified. People were shouting, pointing at me, the girl who had stopped the transit system.

We sang to different songs on the radio, laughing and dancing with our upper body. It took skills and grace not to crash into someone because times, I'd get so carried away by the song, leaving the wheel.

"The two timelines have collapsed into a single consensus reality. The cage is gone, but the memories of the cage remain." A sudden sound shattered the morning silence—the distant, echoing blast of a train horn down in the valley.
