The train

After I was out I hopped on my bike and moved fastly through the street. When I finally arrived home after an hour I bent down my bikes to the side and got inside with big steps.

The living room was empty so I headed to my room on the second floor. After I opened my door and shut it with a slam my body crashed on the sheets of my bed and I breathed in the smell of soft fabric. I stretched my back in pain and tried to grasp it from behind with my left hand. 

My phone buzzed and I took a glance at the reminder on the screen, I've got to go to work. My shift is up till midnight, which means that I'll be there at night, in the dark. I headed to the shower- and washed myself with hot water, I caught suddenly and gasped for air, maybe the water was too hot for me to handle.

The hot water made my blood boil, I sighed in frustration. I hate it when it's too hot, or too cold, either way, I hate the weather all the time. I was already stressed because of tonight. I haven't gone outside in the night for a while. god damn, I didn't want to go.

I brushed back my wet hair, my hand went over to the mirror to clean the steam that filled the air, I stared at myself in the mirror, the dim light from the window created a line of sunlight that came upon me in the darkness. It was down to my nose so I bent down my back until I met my eyes in the mirror through that light.

I observed the room in the darkness, there was only me in that room, or so it seemed, but I felt like I wasn't alone, honestly, and not in a good way. I got dressed fast, I grabbed a white shirt from my closet and put on a beige jeans, and after a small hesitation, I put on a blue sweater and headed outside to the train station.

The weather was starting to get hotter so I rushed up my pace to get down those stairs as fast as possible. My hand searched through my pockets for my earphones, finally, I found them deep down the left side and attached them to my ears, one side after another.

I put on my playlist as I waited on the trail for my train, I arrived quite in time, I had three minutes before it got here, so I let myself to completely absorbed in my music on the phone, I was sick of my usual songs on Spotify so I opened up Youtube and pressed on the library.

Down there was a playlist of Landon Barker's unreleased album snippets. I had a feeling when I heard the songs he played on his TikTok account that he's music style was quite down my alley, but I did not expect this. This is amazing. I love everything about this shit. I swear to god, the moment he puts out the album I'm buying it in an instant of an eye. 

I started to feel better after listening to some quality stuff, it's about an hour ride and my mind was already delusional at thoughts about how I was going to play this on repeat endlessly. I nodded to myself as I added an option for some sleep time as well. Sound like a plan.

I hopped on the train and grabbed a seat in the back, I sat down and closed my eyes with a smile, this is what I'm talking about man, acting lazy is the best. I let my mind wander into the song as my eyes sunked deeper into sleep.

When I woke up it was dark outside and I looked around confused, how long have I been out?

I looked up to the sign but there weren't any stations written on it, it was completely blank. An unpleasant sigh left my mouth in frustration, my eyes darted towards my phone, I tried to light it up but it didn't give any reaction to my touch.

something was off, it didn't make sense that it's this dark right now.
