It's Dark in Here. Is this your stop? Between stations, or the end of the line? Where are we? The beams sift past, The train pauses at an abandoned station.... Why abandoned? Dry, the old tiles caked with gummy soot,the platform littered. The train lights flicker; fail. The motor shudders shutting down. Hi What if the doors open? Do we get out? Search for the old exits, find them chained? Do we have a choice? Wait for a bright station, lit advertisements, stainless steel and clean tile? What was that? A sputter of static: the conductor's intercom. A voice comes on: "making all stops, this train will be making all stops...." Is this your train? What if the doors stay open, the train begins to move, the tunnel darkens, and there is no longer a tunnel, only black space, dark with a few stars? |
