Thomas the Murder

Screw it. Have this slightly disturbing story thing:

It was a downcast day. Walking through the morning fog, he yawned, checking his watch. It had stopped. Strange. He switched his battered briefcase to his other hand.

As usual, he walked into the almost deserted ticket hall, well before the morning rush hour. He got his usual ticket from the clunking machine and tread the same steps as he always did on to the same platform he always went on.

If possible, the fog was even thicker, grey soup hovering above the ground. He sat down on his normal bench and began to read the newspaper he had picked up. It was dull and boring. A chill wind blew, whistling down the empty platform. He pulled his coat tightly around him and waited.

Then he heard it, a reedy moan floating through the fog. He stood up in surprise. It came again, and he strained his eyes into the thick fog. A third time, and he tried following it, wandering blindly across the platform. He stepped onto empty air, sprawling onto the tracks.

In the distance came a horn, a deep throated roar. The train was coming. He got up and frantically tried to find the platform, groping through the cursed grey that obscured his vision. BEEP!!
The train again, closer this time. He redoubled his efforts, crying out for help, though none would come. The clacketing noise of the train on the tracks was coming closer and closer.

In his blind panic, he tripped over the tracks. The noise was unbearable, the horn blared, his death knell. He twisted around to face his certain death. And there, through the mist he saw it. The twisted, grinning face of Thomas the Tank Engine, coming closer, filling his vision. His terrible smirk was the last thing he ever saw. Then blackness.

Bill whipped a pistol from within his Granny's knickerbockers and shot Thomas right in the face. :3

Heck. This is what happens when you have an over active imagination and a drama lesson on creepy murder mystery stories, and a boring coach trip. Wow.

(Alternative ending in italics, added by a certain irritating sibling who somehow managed to get on my Wattpad account)
