Two trains going to the same place on the same night howled into the sky of two separate Boston's. Two Olivia's heard the sounds but two different brains interpreted the noise. One thought of nights with Frank back at her home, and the other used the sound to muffle her cries.
Olivia
Confused and alone apart from her delusions Olivia screamed behind the noise of the train. She would have of blamed it on the alcohol but there was none in this house so the strange man who kept calling her sweetheart was the making of her broken brain. The man who was called her boyfriend was gone leaving her and the man peter alone to be crazy. Memories flooded her mind some with her mother that brought that strange feeling of sadness , the ones with Frank which brought a weak feeling of annoyance, and the ones that snuck in every once in a while that contained Peter they brought out deep feelings of love that she could not explain. He tells her that he is and was part of her and that she will not forget ever. He says that he will bring her back to who she really is. He walks around her commenting on her day sarcastically calling her sweetheart which is quite bothersome. Frank calls her every night saying that he misses her and that he is being careful. She plays along with the conversation faking emotion and concern for his well being. Every day at work Charlie eyes her strangely when she forgets something. He asks strange questions, her answers come from nowhere they just pop up. During the night she cries into her pillow feeling oddly homesick and like an outsider. Screams that can no longer be held in fill the halls of the apartments echoing with the sighs of other people trying to sleep. When the secretary speaks to her with that tone like she is his slave some strange feeling fills her veins her vision turns red and things start to shimmer almost like they might catch on fire. The last thing that she does before sleep is to write down the tid bits of her odd memories that have gnawed at her throughout the day finally allowing her mind to be at temporary ease.
