Summary

A late-night train. A silent passenger. Some journeys shouldn’t be taken alone.

“A faint suggestion of an arm could be made out from the folds and depressions in the blanket. Stranger still, Jake ascertained by its stance and posture that the figure was facing the wall, its nose all but touching it. As he looked at this shrouded figure the train had begun to move and leave the station. A few seconds into its movement, the car suddenly jolted, as though it had lost all power, the lights in the car also flickering out for a couple of seconds…”

What begins as an ordinary journey quickly turns into something far more unsettling, as one passenger notices something that doesn’t belong, and can’t be ignored. In a place designed to move people from one stop to the next, something else may quietly remain on board. This original paranormal horror story explores isolation, confined spaces, and the quiet terror of being trapped with something you don’t understand.
