Blizzard - A TTTE alternate universe.

The First Flake

Ah December, the time of joy, people around the world play in the snow, not this year, this year wouldn't be filled with joy but instead with pain and suffering, today I will be remembering my experience as Percy's fireman ,John Stewart, through this time of ice...

The morning of December 18th was as nice as any other, surprisingly snow hadn't taken this long to fall in ages but this morning it finally did, we were at Tidmouth harbour, enjoying a good cup of tea.

Suddenly snow began to fall we looked outside the cab as it did Stephen moaned in annoyance and went back to drinking his tea, I leaned further out of the cab to check if the points we set, after a good look I saw Percy smiling with glee.

After the points were changed I began to shovel coal into Percy's firebox as Stephen began to move Percy forward to leave soon the snow by the time we had passed the points to connect to the rest of the branch line the snow had covered the ground.

As we turned into the yard at Ffarquhar Both me and Stephen heard Thomas complaining with Toby listening to him without a care in the world as we stopped on the turntable, we overheard Thomas asking Percy what he thinks of the snow.

I jumped down off Percy and began to move the turntable, as it came to a stop Percy began reversing into the shed, luckily we didn't have the night train to take tonight, we shut the doors and walked off with Toby and Thomas's crew to catch the bus to our respective houses.

The journey home wasn't very eventful other than watching the night get engulfed in the snowy fog but one thing was very strange, as the bus was passing by the sea I noticed a blue flash in the distance, I thought it was a plane or something flying oh how wrong I was...
