NOTE: This story was released to the public in honour of the 80th Anniversary of The Railway Series
This was made for an English assessment at my previous high-school back in 2022, where students would have to write a story based off of William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' (Fun fact: The Lion King is (probably unintentionally) based off of Hamlet), this is what I wrote, I don't exactly remember what marks I got for it, but I'm certain it was either a B or an A, either way, I think I got good marks off of this story. Although based on 'Hamlet', this story also takes inspiration from the 2011 film 'Day of the Diesels' and 'The Lion King', this story is also stylised as being more of a "script" than anything, so you'll see a lot of "*x music plays*" or "Culdee: bazinga" throughout the story.
Now it's 2025, and whenever I look back at this story, I just kinda think to myself "holy moly, that was actually pretty bad.", but I figured that y'all would probably want to see it, sooo... yeah, enjoy.
I would also recommend reading the extra contents last, don't ask why.
