A low whistle echoed throughout the hollar. The train huffed through swirls of steam. The loudspeaker crackled. “This is your Conductor. Folks, we’re making an unscheduled stop.” Passengers poured off the train. A whirring roar, the forest overtaken by shiny chainsaws. The Conductor cackled, “Folks, this is your last stop!”
