Smoke was all I could see. Sparks were all I could feel. Fear was all I could know. The screech of the train against track ricocheted in my brain leaving a scorching headache. My lungs and skin burned among the hot coals spilled along the ground. Coughing, I forced myself to stand up despite the pain that wracked my insides out. The stars and moon were blotted out of their own sky. The peace of nature had been shattered to bits by the cursed man made machine. Driven by something that no man ever was.

I stared at the mess in front of me. Car after car derailed and stoic. Thick steam cascading out of the funnel which lay sideways in the dirt. What was once full of life and luxary had turned into a dismal and deadly trap potentially killing about a hundred lives.

This wasn't supposed to happen.
