Shadow of a Train

Chapter 6: The Journey

After Jamie's turn at the helm of the raft its was Sophie's time to take over the raft and its controls We were heading to destinations unknown to explore this wide world of darkness and a cloudy nature sleep came and when for me sometimes I was just laying down taking in the motions of ocean waves others I was just thinking and something came into view train tracks filled the sky these grey clouds covering them were now gone a spider's web of metal structures made up the sky now these were gigantic wow this is world outside one filled with train tracks.

Noises came as lights and sounds came from above as trains of varying sizes and lengths trundled over the tracks going to different corners of this wide world that is in front of us.

Time moved on the cycle of us three taking control of the raft guiding us to well I hope land and to get as far away from the smell of The Orphanage and at that moment in time Sophie was in control of the raft Me and Jamie were just sitting looking up as sky above still filled with a network of tracks and trains I said

"I am not sure if I ever been on a train the memories of my past are still fogging to me maybe I have go on one of these thinking make travel easier than by us currently by sea let's just hope we can drift off to land and find a train station"

Jamie answer back

"They are a great creation I always knew of them being around that place even did not spend much time they I could still feel my mind fading into a pattern it's blocks the outside world I know my home is a train I have memories of sitting on my mother's lap while I watch the world go past seeing industrial cities and buildings you can go anywhere in a train this sea seems endless from the waves the sky truly no sight of land yet"

It was that time again when we swap over positions Jamie taking the lead of the ship Placing her head down on the raft, sleep consumed her.

Awaking from her sleep a loud shaking came its was Jamie not about him taking control of the raft its was about oncoming storm in the distance

"That's quite the hurdle. Do you think this little raft will be able to survive that storm?" I asked Jamie

Going from one place to another the world felt like it was against us from we had escaped the Orphanage. Now the world throws at us a storm. We worked so hard to get where we are currently that the storm creeped along and then it hit.

Washing waves of the ocean what felt like it was going to consume us I brave it us three Jamie on the control of the raft rushing through wave after wave the brutal wind the sky high waves the crack of thunder and lighting this storm was every present no matter what way we tried to sail away from this storm but we were still in the middle of it I still knew deep down that even in this dire time that the Orphanage was alway going to be a part of our shared history this storm was a curse it was consuming it was large and it was furious Sophie was at one side of the raft moving over through the spray of the ocean to Jamie and raft's joystick helping support Jamie in steering through these choppy waters.

I do not know how long this storm when on soaking us all it got too much one day none were in charge of the raft and next thing I wake up to was sunshine and a calm ocean it was a relief that storm through trials and errors I survive it and now its was time to find something solid.
