[ WP ] You are 7 years old , on the train with your parents . You are exploring the train when suddenly there is a terrible accident . You survive , and encounter a woman who is seriously hurt . She calls out to you to stay with her ; she does n't want to die alone .

Sitting in my seat, I look out the window and take in the view. These seats are hard and uncomfortable, but the scenery is definitely worth it. Trees so green, filled with animals I've only read about. Coming out to look upon the roaring beast that has engulfed many people. Some animals see it as a monster, while others see it as a prison. We humans, never thought it would be a metal coffin, except those few with paranoia eating at their mind and the over analytic. 
 
 Curious I decided to explore this metal beast. I get up from my seat, while my parents were asleep. As I enter a new car, I pass a woman. She gazes outside with a distant look. Blue eyes that seemed to shine, now dim with grief. Long hair like liquid fire, thrown across one shoulder; tucked messing beneath a black hat. Such rosy cheeks and a jolly face, now stained with tears. Skin like snow placed upon a small frame. What looked so strong, now streaked with sadness, seemed so fragile. Dressed in black with white trimmings, like a broken mirror, seemed to reflect the state of her soul. My heart breaks as I take in the sight. She turns her head towards me, and gives me a light smile. Cheeks turning red for being caught staring, I scuttle off to resume my quest. 
 
 As I go further back in the train, I pass many other people, though none as interesting as the lady. I decide to head back, bored with finding nothing interesting. I listen to the rhythmic beat of the train moving along the tracks, calming me. I continued to head back to my original spot, when I hear a sickening grunt of metal. The groan and the loss of gravity that came after, made me lose any composure I had. I grabbed the nearest seat and held on tightly, as the world continued tilting. Watching people fall from above, reaching towards me. Clawing at my arms and pulling at my hair, screaming as they passed by me. In a few seconds I hear the sickening wet crunch of bones. With a loud resound of a boom, the world was turned upside down. 
 
 I open my eyes and let go, feeling like my arms were torn out of their sockets. Speaking of my arm, I look at them to see deep scratches. I feel my head and feel the stickiness of blood. Too much in a state of shock, I did n't feel the pain. I decided to take advantage of this and find my parents, at least then I'll cry. I look around and see a pile of bodies, people groaning, and so much blood. It made me sick to my stomach. It all felt like a horrible nightmare, like one's I get after watching a horror movie. I step past the bodies, determined to find my parents. Warily I look around, looking for a monster that caused all of this. It must be all a nightmare. 
 
 As I enter cart after cart, I kept expecting to be devoured. To find an unfathomable creature. That'll catch me and leave me like all of these people. Thinking that someone will yell out for me to run. Regardless I kept going forward. Suddenly I feel something grab my foot and I yell out for all I am worth. I try to run, but the monster tugged at my foot, causing me to fall. I break down into tears. Then it speaks and it confuses me, for it was a woman's voice. 
 
 `` Please do n't leave me here alone... I do n't want to die alone...'' She managed to wheeze those words out. Like each word was a chore. Though it was like an angel was speaking, so soft, yet so broken. 
 
 I turn my head and body towards her and calm down. Wiping away my tears, I slowly crawl towards her. I see the long metal shrapnel, pierced through her chest. `` I'll get my parents and see if they can help.'' I managed to squeak out. 
 
 `` No..please stay..it's too late for me... I do n't have much time left. Just stay... I beg of you.'' She pleaded and begged me. I go closer to her and wrap my arms around her. I feel the brokenness of her soul. I felt every loss she had. Knowing she was running from something... running towards something. Chasing a fleeting ghost. 
 
 She smiles as she wraps her arms lightly around me. Her heart beat steadying, slowing down, and becoming weaker. She leans her head towards my ear, wincing in pain. She whispers in my ear, her voice becoming weaker, `` I had a son around your age... I lost him earlier this winter. He had such a lovely voice, singing all the time... I was returning from visiting his grave..I no longer live near there for it pained me too much...'' 
 
 She continued on a bit longer, until it was too painful for her to speak. She lied there quietly as I held her. Softly I started to sing. 
 
 `` In a place of happiness 
 
 You'll find yourself 
 
 Reunited with your loved one's 
 
 Given a second chance 
 
 
 
 Far away from this place 
 
 You'll find yourself 
 
 Away from the pain 
 
 No longer broken...'' 
 
 
 
 I never got to finish the song, for when I looked upon her, she stopped breathing. With a smile on her face, a final tear falls from her closed eye. I catch it upon my finger and wipe it away. I let her go and get back up on my feet. Even more determined to find my parents.
