The forest stretched for at-least 4 miles, with continuous train tracks heading over the valley. Erin lent herself against the window of the moving train. "so this is the place!" she muttered to herself. The upcoming Town could only be seen on the Horizon. She took the train once in her life, when she was a child with her father who was murdered almost before she was born. It hurts her to think such person would do it and live with the guilt. Erin cringes and clenches her fist to her chest. "I do say young madam, what could possibly be the matter?" a lady dressed in a White gown in the seat next to her stares down at Erin confusingly "Umm... Nothing miss" Erin turns around to face the window with her heart in her mouth. To her surprise the train is higher than thirty feet above ground, running on tracks which are built upon a two meter wide cliff edge. Erin holds her eyes closed and grips her seat. Hard. The train unexpectedly grinds to a halt, and tips to the left, shifting everyone into that direction. Passengers scream at the sight bellow in pain, not physically but emotionally. But fear wasn't the most deadly. Clouds of coal edge there way through the train. Erin splutters out a nasty cough then dives under her chair. Everyone is slowly suffocating to their own death. Everyone dives for the window, smashing it into small pieces. They fall. Down into the water bellow, many plunging to their own death. Too many. The Train jolts over the edge, but Erin still remains under her seat. Unsure of what is happening.
