Ghost Station

物語に呪われて:
I don't know what it is, but something isn't right...Can I talk about it anyways?

I remember getting onto the train I usually take home. I also remember that it was later than usual, as I fell asleep while reading in the library. I remember that there were less people than when I took the earlier train, at my typical hour.
I remember a lot of things.
So I know that something isn't quite right here. The train hasn't stopped for 20 minutes. It usually stops every 2. Normally, there aren't any tunnels, but I've counted the third so far.
Did I miss my stop?
I hopped onto the train at 11.05. It's now 12:13. That can't be right? The train's last stop should only be 45 minutes from my stop.
What?

Apart from me, everyone else seems unbothered. Or rather, they can't be bothered. Everyone is asleep. The old woman next to me is even snoring.
I can see a young boy with his mother, tangled into each other. They looked so peaceful sleeping.
But why do I feel like there's something not entirely human about all the other passengers? As if they try their best to appear human when they are something different?

物語に呪われて:
Something about this train I'm on, for a while now, is off...If that makes sense?

I look around the train. Everything seems like always. The same layout, the same colors, even the same smell of sweat and metal, trying to be hidden by an artificial smelling air freshener.

物語に呪われて:
The train has been going on for longer than possible...And everyone seems to be asleep

Wait, something WAS different from usual. The train I normally take has windows to look through. Admittedly, they were more dirty than clear, but they weren't covered up, like these are.
What the hell?!

I tried to find the train map, but ... it's gone. It looks like it has been ripped off. The monitor isn't showing anything as well. No windows, no map, no monitor, not even any announcement with so bad audio quality that you can't understand them. I have no idea where I am.
Fuck

物語に呪われて:
I don't even know where I am...I couldn't possibly have taken the wrong train...There is just one that passes by my station. But the windows are covered up, and everything else that could help is broken...I am so scarred!

I am usually calm and composed. I know freaking out wont help in a situation like this. But I can't help shaking. I can feel the fear in my feet. I don't remember ever being so scared in my life.
Calm down, you'll be okay

After a deep breath, I get up from my seat. I can feel my knees being weak. I place myself in front of the old Lady and gently tap her shoulder, trying to wake her up.
"Excuse me?"
No response.
I start shaking her carefully and repeat the same words, this time louder.
No response, no motion.

What if she's dead?

Unlikely. I check her pulse, making sure she's still alive.
After a short while of struggling I found her pulse. Watching her face closely, I can even see her breathing.
Thank god

I then tried to wake more people up. No success.
Lastly I walked up to the kid and his mother. Kids are easy to wake up, right?
A soft shake and loud words. But nothing. The boy also doesn't wake up, nor does his mom.

物語に呪われて:
I can't wake the other passengers up?! What is going on???

Now, wanting to make someone wake up and find someone that can help, I yell.
"Hellooo?"
"Is anyone there?"

As always, no response. I can feel tears stream into my eyes. I just wanted to cry.
What is going on??

Just as I was about to break down, I could feel the train slow down.
Full of hope, I stared at the doors. And they opened.
From inside the train I could read the sign of the station.
