It was a gloomy Sunday, not like our heroes knew what day it was but, yeah it was a Sunday with the chilly air. Every second the clouds were getting closer together, darker I must say. It was fascinating to look at them, uniting together to fulfill a common purpose, rain.

About the train station...it was really big, not that big but still, it wasn't too small. It was like an abandoned dog, dusty, with rusty iron pillars all around, covered with the crust of dry blood.Trains looked feeble and strangely sad.Various plants were coiled up around them with leaves lurking out of nowhere.
Tabitha looked around and found a solo engine on a clear track. This is what they needed!
Lil nodded, agreeing with Tabitha on this one. This track would lead them straight to the end of Rundaile, it would cover up most of the distance.

"Charlie.." Aron noticed the guy in the building who was waving at them emotionally.

"sorry no time Lil" Steve pushed her inside the engine as soon as he saw that the zombies are attracted because of Linda's voice.

"Hey, ouch! Steve no!!" She struggled but it was too late.
Fred managed to start the engine just in time. Yes today, their luck was on fire!
Steve waited outside until everybody climbed up, then he gave a final look to the unknown guy in the building, who is this Charlie guy anyway, he wondered.

"Why does this thing take so much time to gather up the speed?!" Kimberly shouted. Actually...Kim has never travelled via train, she always had the best cars or the plane tickets.

"SHUT UP! You should be grateful that I magically managed to start it after months to save our lives"  did Fred  just raised his voice for the first time? And yeah... everyone was now staring at him.

"Here they come" Tabitha kept her hands on her mouth; the bunch of zombies were now visible, increasing slowly.

"We're all gonna die" Linda cried.

"No! Guys, it's catching up the speed" Aron jumped.

"I wish it doesn't stop anywhere in the middle" Linda mumbled.

"Hey you okay?" Steve patted Lil's back. She was standing in a corner, with her eyes full of sorrow.

"Fred! Can we stop the train?" Lil demanded.

"WHAT?" everybody said together.

"Or else just slow it down I wanna go back" Lil walked towards the door. Has she gone nuts or what?

"Lil stop" Steve grabbed her waist. She was furious, determined to go back.

"Nobody is stopping the damn train Lil!" Linda declared "every zombie in Rundaile is chasing after us right now!"

The crowd was huge behind the engine.

"No! Lemme go! I have to go get Charlie!" Lil blurted out. Everybody was so surprised at this behaviour of hers.

"Lil calm down" Aron approached her. She pushed him away.

"Fred! Watch out!" Kimberly screamed as she spotted an upside down train lying their track.

OH.MY.GOD.

"It's too late to slow this thing down.. everybody! Find something to hold on to, try not to die in a brutal crash" suddenly, Lil's survival mode was on. She was back to her senses.

"What's the use? We're gonna die anyway, this thing crashes and hundreds of zombies climb in to have their lunch!" Kim gave a sarcastic laugh.

"You know...I say DO NOT DIE until you still have the chance to live. Save your asses until the very end!" Lil sounded motivating. I'm so very motivated.
...Applauding here for you Lil.

"Yes, who knows what's waiting for us. Guys let's save ourselves right now, rest of the way will be sorted out eventually" Steve supported the statement.

Immediately, everybody started searching for a stable handle or a safe place to manage the crash force. Harold found two pillows, one of which he offered to Kim, that they used for protecting their heads.
The rest found handles around, they managed to move at the back of the engine because the front would be totally destroyed by the crash.

"Guys I managed to slow this thing down a bit, just a little bit..our chances of getting out alive is now sixty percent!" Fred was proud of his achievement.
The crash was just a few seconds away.

"I must say that I can now declare that we might not die in this crash for sure" Lil said.

"Close your eyes everybody...Fred! Get your ass here, leave the controls!" Kim grabbed his arms.

They needed to survive the crash with the least damage.
To their bodies of course..who gives a damn about the train.

Boom!
....

"Ever-.. everybody okay?" Lil managed to get up.

"Ye..yes, we're good here" Kim gasped. Harold was with her. Alive.

Tabitha and Aron gave a thumbs-up.

"Steve...Fred!You guys okay?" Lil gave a hand to Fred.

"Fred is a kind of stunned because of the shock" said Steve "let's go now! They're coming"

"Hey is anyone concerned about me?" Linda got up.

They were barely able to walk in a straight line. C'mon they just survived a huge crash.

"Still..get up!" Lil shouted.

The zombies hurried towards the train with their beyond belief speed.

"Lil no! Come back here!" Aron screamed as soon as he noticed his sister running in the direction of the zombies.

Lil gave a spear to a couple of zombies.
A bunch of zoms approached her. Hundreds were a few metters apart.
Suddenly...knives went flying to the zombies making a way through their bodies. Then hammers...
She turned around just to find everybody standing in a position saying "Bring it on"

"We're in this together!" Kim announced as everybody stood together with all the weapons they had.....
