Rumors about the Midnight train have been spreading like wildfire and as New Year's eve approached you heard even more and more about the train that supposedly granted wishes. For whatever reason, this piqued your interest and you decided to give it a shot.
On New Year's eve you came to the station at midnight. Alone, with friends, with a lover perhaps? It didn't really matter. What mattered was that you showed up and waited. Perhaps you even dozed off on your seat, bundled in warm blankets. Maybe you slunk around, sneering at the stupidity of such a myth. You watched and waited, hoping that the rumor was more than just a tall tale.
Eventually, the clock struck midnight and fireworks shot towards the heavens, exploding and flashing in the inky sky. You stared at the fuzzy lights above, it was 12:00 am and there was no train. Maybe you laughed and rolled your eyes or maybe you decided to keep hoping. After a few moments, you heard the sound of an arriving train and you froze in place. A sleek train of fleeting colors and stars rolled into the station, slowly coming to a stop. The double doors slid open and what happened next took your breath away.
Inside, you saw what you wanted most in the world. Your dreams, aspirations, and secret desires.
If felt like you were put under a spell and you found yourself running into the train. The object of your desire was right in front of you, but when you wrapped your fingers around it, your wish it faded into nothing and the double doors slid shut. You snapped out of your trance and suddenly realized that there were people just like you, staring wildly with fear in their eyes. It was only then when you noticed the rabbit typing away on his laptop and the mouse playing a harmonica.
The passengers weren't human...
You made a move towards the doors, but suddenly the train lurched forward. A voice on the intercom spoke, and told you enjoy your trip to Nowhere. Before you could scream, the train began to take off at an outrageous speed. There was a flash of light followed by darkness and when you opened your eyes you found yourself with a group of others just as confused as you were.
Welcome to Nowhere.
