He starts pulling hot dogs out of the TJ Maxx bag and eating them. I post about this TJ Maxx hot dog event on Facebook. It does well. They turn the lights off. I fall asleep. Around 3:00am and the train heaves and an insanely high pitched grinding sound pierces the cabin.

The train stops faster than any train I’ve ever been on. The acrid smell of hot metal is overwhelming. There’s suddenly screaming. Yelling. The cabin is dark except for wild beams of flashlight scattering. A door outside opens. Panicking. I cannot see what is going on.
