The Journey

Passengers meet on a platform, board the same bogey....as the train chugs on they start talking start knowing each other..........but some chose their fellows for the long journey ....they trust and support each other and so the journey begins!! the train slowly keeps moving, many stations, cities and towns pass by. Some people join this journey others disembark, but few pull that emergency chain and bring their journey to an abrupt end. When the mountatins arrive they bring with them twisting and turning tracks and long and dark tunnels, you look towards your fellows because in this shaky part of the journey you need them the most. Their is a strange feeling when you enter the tunnel with one set of passengers and come out the other side with another, but then you feel content; your fellows are still there! But; in a pitch black tunnel when you search for a hand to hold that had been comforting your hidden fear for the darkness all the way and you search and search yet find no one.......and then the first ray of light blinds you for a moment!! you try to look around and when you find that seat beside you empty and the wind fluttering through the open window....what would you feel??
