Hours later I woke up when a foot stepped on
my hand, quickly I shut my eyes open and realized that I
was lying on the floor. I could get glimpses of boys and
men getting of the train. Then, from far behind I heard a
voice screaming, “Off the train, we are under attack”.
Shocked and tired as I was, I tried to stand up but it was
impossible, because I was under a flock of dark green
uniforms that were literally running me over. Once
everyone had ran out, I didn’t even have the power to
stand up to get off the train, I felt so weak. Looking
around me I could only see black smoke, the burnt smell
that came from it filled my nose and I started to feel
dizzy. But then, all of the sudden a thought hit me,
“what if I was going to die in here? This was not what I
had expected when I said I wanted to explore the
world.”
Some kind of energy ran through my body and
suddenly I had cleared my mind. My one and only goal
right now was to get off this train. Even though I felt all
dazed, I still managed to drag myself up and then
stumble towards the knocked about door. My path over
luggage forgotten in the hurry to evacuate and wrecked
seats, made my escape feel way longer than it actually
was. But suddenly I stepped on something different,
when I looked down I felt petrified, it was Eric, he was
bleeding from his chest and his face was all black by the
grime.
