The Station #13

by

Andrew didn't remember buying a ticket but knew he had one in his pocket. He needed to get to the border. He pulled his ticket out of his jacket. It said "Infierno." He only hoped that was near the border crossing.

The doors flung open again, and a man in black stood in the doorway, illuminated by the sunlight behind him. He seemed to glow. He turned, closed the doors, and then turned back. Andrew breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was a Catholic priest.

Andrew wasn't religious, but thought the man looked ominous upon first glance...

    Thanks, Neville. Yeah, I really thought of it being dark in there and every time the doors opened a blinding light came in and stabbed everyone in the eyes. That was the atmosphere that drove the writing.
