Dan started walking towards the train line, determined to get away from this town.
He could see a train going past closely in front of him as he hesitated. What if I should stay? What if I can't survive on my own? What if-
He shook himself out of it. He had to get out of here. And fast.
Another train started to fly past him as determination dominated his eyes.
The world slowed down.
He saw a ladder on the side of a carriage.
He grabbed hold of it.
He was on the train.
As the world started to speed up again, he saw the door to open the carriage and pushed it open before throwing his duffle bag in and jumping in. It was an empty wooden carriage with some hay in the corner. Maybe it was a circus train? He sat down in the corner and took a deep breath.
He did it.
