Off the Tracks The train stopped suddenly‚ and Olivia was sent flying out of her seat. She stumbled towards the front and hit something hard. Next thing she knew‚ she was laying in the aisle with a headache and a loud ringing in her ears. She glanced at the dark‚ gray ceiling for a moment‚ before sitting up and looking around.
