Chug a chug a chug a
Chug a chug a
Choo choo
The whistle sounded
The train rolled along
The coal pouring in
The smoke coming out
The train
pierced the cold wind
like a knife in the dark
Then
the conductor heard a scream
and a gunshot
He ran
through the carriages
until he saw him
The man in the cloak
The man flung his cloak
and ran
The baroness laid
in a pool of bloôd
the dagger dug in her chest
the conductor ran
chasing the cloaked man
As the conductor ran throughout the carriages
he saw a door fly open, and the cloaked man
go outside
climb up a ladder
on top of the train
The conductor grabbed a steak knife
off the table
and followed the
cloaked man
there they stood
on top of the train
as it sped at incredible speeds
the night surrounded them
“you know you can’t
defeat me”
the cloaked man said
the conductor lunged
with the steak knife
tussled with the
cloaked man
both were penetrated
with the knives
and then they fell
off the train
becoming one with the night
as the baroness became one
with the blood
