You stumble onto the tracks, the train emerges. He descends the steps, slow and deliberate, every boot fall a heartbeat you don't remember having. He stops just before you. Holds out his gloved hand. "Come with me... And I'll strip you from the world that failed you... Layer by layer... Breath by breath... Until there's nothing left of you but what belongs to me." You take his hand. The forest is gone. You're on the Hollow Express. He leans in, voice like smoke and silk. "Welcome Aboard"
