The Train

By (author) Al Kaissi, Hamza
Welcome aboard The Train of Murder. Thank you for choosing our service for your bloody journey. Please review the following guidelines to ensure a smooth trip: 1: Days of psychological torment. Arrival in one piece is not guaranteed. 2: If you discover a dead body, kindly step over it. Reporting is unnecessary. 3: Phones do not work here, so do not attempt to call the police. 4: Should you encounter anyone carrying a knife, gun, or sharp object, politely escort them to the nearest exit—oh, wait, there aren’t any. The train is moving, after all. 5: Should you stumble upon trails or pools of blood, do not be alarmed. Consider them part of the décor. 6: If offered red velvet cookies, DO NOT TAKE ONE! 7: In the unlikely event of a blaze, feel free to improvise. Safety procedures are nonexistent. 8: Please keep all baggage stored overhead or beneath your seat. Should you notice any luggage leaking blood, kindly pretend it isn’t yours. We wish you the best of luck on your journey. My name is…. Well, never mind. I will be your attendant or train driver maybe. Buckle up and enjoy this horrifying ride. Emily isn’t here for luxury. She's a therapist drowning in guilt after her patient's suicide tragedy, that the world started blaming her for. Hoping for healing, she decides to go on a wellness retreat. But the further she travels, the less reality makes sense. Secrets whisper in the dark and when a passenger suddenly drops dead-which turns out to be one of her former patients as well-Emily spirals into terror. All she wants to know is: Who trapped her on this train and why? This is no wellness retreat. It’s a descent into madness, and Emily may not survive the final stop. “The Train” is a chilling blend of psychological thriller, horror, and murder mystery. With every mile forward, new secrets unravel—and the truth is always more terrifying than what’s behind you.
