The Train
Stephane regarded the guard with cold eyes. The guard was indifferent. When he glared back at Stephane, the professor reverted to a scholarly look.
The students excitedly stood from their seats and queued on the open platform where the train would stop to pick up the passengers.
Julienne looked around and commented worriedly. "Is this place safe? People could fall on the train track. Why are there no guard rails or barriers to protect the passengers?"
Amaya looked at Julienne and wondered what she was talking about. It was her first time riding a train and when she looked around, she found nothing amiss. She was impatient earlier because she was excited to ride on a train.
There were white markings on the floor where the train doors were expected to be positioned when the train stopped.
