The acrid smell of liquid metal and burning flesh assaulted Alex's nostrils as he gazed upon the gruesome sight ahead.
A destroyed rail with toppled boxcars currently burning brightly with human bodies strewn about possessing varying degrees of injuries, several of which were quite fatal.
The cries of those that were miraculously alive were heard as they struggled to break free from the mess.
Despite being used to such a scene from his past life, Alex couldn't help but once again understand the fragile nature of human life.
Nadia was no different as she barely restrained the urge to vomit from the sight.
It was a first for her and if not for her strong will, it wouldn't have been shocking if she fainted.
Covering her nose to reduce the smells assailing her senses, Nadia muttered. "What caused this?"
"No…"
"Ah!"
The cries of a man as he caught fire echoed in the already terrifying scene as he struggled to douse the flames but the harder he struggled, the worse it became.
