Six-year-old Adele Babin has never ridden the train before, but now she's on her way to visit her grandparents in Paris. She watches, awed, as the city speeds by the window - another thing she's never experienced.
"Mommy, look!" She pointes to the Eiffel Tower; her mother smiles.
"Yes, sweetheart. We'll go up there tomorrow."
There is a sudden crash as something flies through the train, in one side and out the other. The compartment fills with glass. Adele screams as she feels it cutting her face, adding to the cacophony from the other passengers.
Her eyes hurt; she can't see.
