ARRIVING

The floors of the station are uncharacteristically clean, and the smell of an ocean is present as soon as a passenger steps out of the subway doors. It must indicate that the city they've arrived in mirrors this cleanliness--aside from the disturbingly large numbers of people walking around with missing limbs or the unusual language that seems to slip out during conversations.

Carissa is the lucky human that gets to enter this exhilarating journey. But as an echo emanates from the last cart of the subway, she's no longer convinced that she's the only one present in this underground roller coaster.
