The second installment of unhealthy twists from the short story collection, 'In Towns of Short Health' from Calibna J. Kerr.
A coffee to go and a train ride out of a war torn town and Elliott Gray has no idea how he got there. Enclosed in a cramped carriage with a stranger insistent upon keeping his credentials concealed, the bombardment never seems to end. Not until their unexpected meeting is intruded upon by Edward Mailbury, a portly gentleman who appears to pay no heed to the persistent reel of images, death and sufferance flicking passed the windows. With the pull of an emergency lever, the true punishment comes to light.
