Drake, Mina, Sarah and Freddy, reminiscing the eventful day they'd just had, were ready to board the train home. They were exhausted after a long Friday of work, but at least it was now the weekend, Drake thought as he walked briskly down to the subway station. He and his friends were chatting about the day's endeavours, while strolling down the steps to the subway station, escaping the hot August sun. As they stood on the platform, a strong breeze softly blew through the station.

"What was that?" Drake asked worriedly.

"What was what, sweetie?" Mina replied calmly.

"I felt, something… Never mind. I don't think it was anything." Drake answered quickly.

"Come on, Drake, you must be really tired! Let's get on the train!" Sarah chirped happily.

"Yeah, it's not gonna wait for us…" Freddy agreed.

They sat down in a 4 seat formation around a table, and sighed in relief.

"So yeah, he was like totally out of order…" Mina continued from her previous story.

"Yeah, we didn't sample that many foods..." Sarah said, giggling slightly.

"Okay, maybe we did…"

"No we didn't! It's gonna cost too much for me!"

"It's far though…"

Mina and Sarah continued to playfully argue while Drake sighed slightly resentfully, looking around the train. He could see a woman wearing a dress imprinted with a cat pattern, and chuckled lightly as he looked at the other passengers. There were two girls in matching red and blue skirts and tops, who he nearly mistook for identical twins. There was an older guy, probably in his forties, on the phone to someone. Drake felt another gust of cold wind blow, just as the overhead lights began to flicker.

"Did you guys feel that?" Drake asked again, beginning to worry more.

"Oh, stop… I haven't felt anything this time either!" Freddy said, a little angrily.

"Oh, Freddy, calm down… I didn't notice anything either though, Drake…" Sarah quickly replied.

"Whatever, guys. I swear something is going on…" Drake said, slightly panicking.

"Whatever you say, Drake…" Mina answered slowly, edging out of her seat and closer to Drake, to attempt to comfort him.

His eyes continued to dart around. There was a woman wearing a business suit, on the phone, and seemed to be almost shouting down the line. He saw another woman, younger than the others, with two men who resembled each other. Drake wondered if they were brothers. The woman was holding the younger guy very tightly, hand around his waist, his hand around hers. The older brother, maybe late twenties, was gazing fondly at the woman as she talked to the both of them. As Drake realised he was listening in, and intruding on what could be a private matter, he looked in another direction, seeing a teenager, maybe eighteen, with earphones in, sitting comfortably in his seat, with his face pressed up against the window. He saw another guy behind him, wearing huge headphones, with dyed neon blue spiky hair. As Drake casually looked down at the guy's phone, he noticed he was texting many people at the same time. There was a guy standing up behind him, by the door, with bright white hair, but was maybe sixty. He was cowering away from the teenage boy, glancing over, attempting to be inconspicuous. Drake just assumed he was afraid of teenagers.

The train continued to stop at various stations, travelling smoothly to their destination.

Out of the blue, the lights began to flicker and flash quicker, and what followed captured the attention of every passenger. The lights shut off. Screams were echoing off the walls of the train, sensations of panic coursing through Drake's veins as he clutched Mina tightly. In another shocking moment, the lights flickered, flashed, and turned back on. All the passengers looked at each other, laughing a little, in relief, then everything fell silent as the conductor was about to make an announcement.

"This is an important announcement. We are deeply apologetic to all passengers about the problems we have just experienced and we are working to fix th…" The announcement stopped instantaneously, with a loud sound of static crackling, just as the lights shut off once again. Drake felt as if his eardrums would burst, the resounding, panicked screams could be heard everywhere. All the passengers of Train 801 were struck by a deep fear as the train began to spark and tremble, speeding past a station, to the complete and utter disbelief of the people on the platform. His heart racing, Drake noticed the sparks bouncing down the tracks and flying by the windows. The whole train was filled with the deafening screams of the passengers in complete despair. Drake finally felt a streak of relief as he saw light in the distance, just before he realised the deadly truth.

The front of the train was on fire.

He began to fear for his life as he saw objects, people and shards of glass being thrown through the air as the train violently shook, the wheels slightly dislodging from the tracks. All the passengers he had seen before were crying, panicking, screaming, and unsure if they'd escape the train alive. The tracks seemed to go on forever.

Drake and Mina watched in horror as a piece of glass from a shattered window which had fallen in to the train was thrown through the air by force and cut the throat of the cat lady, who collapsed on the floor, knocking her forehead on the seat and screaming while she bled to death, slowly, and painfully. Mina began to sob, just before she was shocked by Drake shaking her shoulder, his hand clearly shivering.

At that precise moment, a seat flew towards her. Sarah, Freddy, Mina and Drake all ducked as it spun through the air, almost gracefully, but the two girls from before were not so fast. The seat crushed and mangled both of them against the wall, the base of the seat cracking the ribs of one, and the top of the seat cutting deep in to the waist of the second. Their remains were shredded by the material flying around in the storm of horror.

Sarah began to scream in terror, Drake slowly realising this could be the end of his life. The other man on the phone had now stepped on it in the frenzy, and was roaring in panic at the top of his voice until a pole, most likely a pillar from near the doors, soared through the passage between the seats, bouncing off the walls, hitting the ceiling and then coming down from the ceiling, going through the eye of the man, exiting out the back of his skull, and going through the stomach of the businesswoman behind him.

Completely paralysed by fear, the woman with the two men could not move, screaming as she was trapped under a heap of bags and suitcases with a fallen door on top. She looked up and screamed as light fell down from above, smashing on her face and impaling her. As the younger brother wailed in despair, six chunks of metal stabbed through him, and as he looked down and realised he was bleeding out, he was sucked out of the opening where a door once was, then, the speeding train ground his body against the wall.

The teenager, horrified, ran down the train, his backpack beginning to slow him down until two seats began to crush him, one on either side of him, holding him in place. He could barely look down before a huge piece of shrapnel flew through the air, digging in to his stomach, nearly bisecting him. The top half of his body jerked backwards from the speed, and fell off.

By now, Drake and his friends were frozen by the horrific sights they had seen and the panic they felt. The older brother, screaming, "No! Gary!" over the roar of the train's gears. He dropped the floor, wailing in terror. It was not long before a metal block rolled down the train, smashing his skull and the upper half of his head. Drake realised the fire was consuming more of the train, just as seven long, thin metal poles with a pointed tip rushed towards the guy with blue hair. All of the poles missed his body, and as the whimpering guy began to feel thankful he was still alive, a glass panel from above dislodged and crushed him. The old guy was having a fit now, yet he was quickly silenced by shards of glass, which ripped apart his skin. Almost in tears now, the old guy tripped on to a large piece of glass that went straight through him.

Drake clasped Mina's hand, and they ran through the train, shielding themselves with their arms and hands. Shards of material seemed to flow gently through the air in all the chaos, digging straight in to the passengers. Freddy and Sarah followed, until Sarah's foot caught on fire. She let out an earsplitting scream. Freddy tried to help her, but she was far too frenetic. Both of them were incinerated by the fire.

Drake and Mina watched in despair as the back of the train exploded, leaving a huge hole. Mina's scream was bloodcurdling as the force pulled her out of the tracks, electrocuting her before seats and material mangled and crushed her body. Drake was completely devastated by everything he had previously witnessed. All the horrifying death and destruction flashed through his mind. It was all over when another explosion blew him to bits. The wheels finally fully derailed, and the train shook, shook harder and overturned, killing everyone else inside.
