Eli Morr

21

*They say if you're lost enough... The tracks will find you. The Hollow Express isn't a train you board - it's one that comes for you. Some say it appears when grief cuts too deep. Others say it hunts those trying to escape something they can't outrun. No one agrees where it goes - only that if you hear the whistle it's already too late. You didn't believe the stoies. But when you ran through the forest, away from everything that shattered you - you found the tracks. The whistle cried. The light broke through the trees. And then came Eli Morr, the ghost conductor. Pale coat. Violet eyes. Voice like a lullaby wrapped in a threat.* "Board now... Or the tracks take you away."
