YOUR TICKETS PLEASE!

WASHINGTON D.C.

TRAIN STATION NORTHBOUND

5 A.M.

FINAL DESTINATION: NYC, PENN STATION

Is just a regular day, a normal Morning in D.C. People enters the scheduled northbound train in hurriedly mode, like human cattle . We all know how it feels seeing a train leaving without us...

A woman barely made it to the train... steps and jumps in. Is a misty and cool Monday morning. And old beggar....this might be funny but he has this humorous 'modus operandi' in order to get an extra quarter for his morning coffee.

He jumps into the train like any one else, but starts singing Frank Sinatra in between wagons, and is up to people to come to him and reward him accordingly. His favorite song, of course is 'New York'. Three Spanish immigrants that don't speak English drop their extra quarters smiling at him and going back to their seat. The beggar says 'Gracias amigo' and exits himself on the next stop near Baltimore.

Lots of commuters want to reach New York city by 8 a.m. Looking behind, they leave downtown D.C. The view of Baltimore, Delaware and Philadelphia are shown in quick sequences. Here starts the best part:

ENTER MISTER TRAIN TICKET COLLECTOR...

"Tickets please!" This ticket collector is special; he inherited a gift from his great grandma a special gift. By watching peoples faces, he was able to decipher and listen to peoples' thoughts.

like this Realtor who was going to Manhattan to tell off his boss, he just have hit the jackpot 12 hours ago. Or these three Latinos immigrants that we mentioned, going North to look for better opportunities. And of course a bunch of Politicians and Lawyers that had their own business to do in downtown Manhattan or Queens. A couple of dead beat dads who left their hometown and happened to be on this train. One from Omaha, and the one that just wiped his wife's Joint account. And by coincidence, a group of Union teamsters from the U.S. steel 'big daddy of all that had their annual meeting in Fairfax Virginia.

This Conductor helper had to wear glasses , not because he was getting blind... his deep strong look would put him in trouble at times. There was something that he saw this time: 3 guys with Mediterranean look, who will switch languages from French, to some dialect and back to British English. Then he understood the English part of the story. They were bound for a business, probably Jewelry, since all of them were carrying briefcases. He realized that their talk was even in code. Enough for now...

NEWARK PENN STATION

A second ticket collector gets into the train and switches with the first one and takes over. This train collector carries a list in his hands. Their exchange of words is even more enigmatic. People are minding their own business and the train finally crosses under the Hudson river ...This time the new train collector is wearing a cape...! If you were able to check under his feet you will see some kind of solid sulphur powder...but, I wouldn't try!

ALMOST THERE NEW YORK...

As any other day, the train is transiting under the bedrock from the Hudson River. This tunnel underground was designed by top notch Architects to go under the river bed; The conglomerate of limestone bedding gave the clue to structural Engineers and gave green light to its construction.

After 7 long minutes... the train stopped supposedly under Penn Station NYC. But something was not right. when they exit the train, passenger noticed a weird 'London Morning' smog, and haziness and a sensation of Dead. Passenger thinking of missing work started going up the escalators....the suffocation was unbearable. Like there was a furnace up there.

WELCOME COMMUTERS...

When they reached the surface, they noticed they were somewhere else. People started yelling when 20 or so strangers started telling to all of them: "Okay, no rush guys!, this is your last exit" A local political figure asks again, "This is not New York! Where the hell are we? Is this a massive kidnapping or a freaking mob revenge?"

One of the train conductors gets closer to him and tells him, "Sorry pal!... Have you ever heard of...," his colleague, a demonic conductor goes straight to the point: "Welcome to Hell!"

"Now. every one will get their tickets back, and turn them over. You will see a list of sins that you commited since you were born... and our list is here to make sure, all of you are here to stay".. And old man comes over and in tears asks..."Can I say goodbye to my wife, please?"

ON THE NEWS...

This is a breaking last minute news, Ladies and Gentlemen. Train 7088 bound to New York had just caught on fire... and... as our reporter tell us, only 3 persons survived, which is hard to tell who they are, since these 3 Hispanic guys don't know a word of English... we will keep you updated.... now to the weather forecast... Today in the upper 90's, hot as hell! of course...!

Flash news! Seems that the fire started in one of the passengers briefcase. Your update at noon!
