Super America Railways

A Story by Abishai100
"

Narrated 'claim' of a mystery writer whose 'ordeal' on a symbolic Western-train draws a 'dark' image of capitalist-race direction!

"
A 'transit-world' narrated murder/danger 'superstition' themed ordeal-vignette (fictional) drawing on some of the post-Orwellian/modern 'detective' themes from The Girl on the Train (Emily Blunt), which I hope you like,

My name's Amlan Satan, and I've lived in Chicago for some time now and liked to collect model train toys and build miniature villages/towns with running trains and monorails and cabooses/carriages and thought I'd start developing a murder-mystery novel in the Windy-City capturing all the charms/superstitions of developed civilization and the 'pace' of trains/capitalism (wow).



I'm an Ivy-grad with a degree in Cognitive Science and liked to read lots of books growing up, both fiction/nonfiction, and I came across the works of a special 'psyche-darkness' writer in America who inspired me to think about the modern transit-culture in America surfacing a special 'social-media' personality oriented fascination with the 'superstitions' of traffic...and turbulence conversationalism (hmm).



This 'special' writer who really inspired me when I was younger made me realize that the writing that would direct me towards a new kind of transit-culture superstition or 'dark-magic' writing 'moved' me to think about the quality of traffic-destabilization and the horrors of terrorism/accidents and how the resilience of the human spirit/condition was one of 'incomplete distances' to great immortal courage (wow).



I decided to take a special 'Super-America-Railways' symbolic train journey from Chicago all the way to San Diego, all the while taking in the breathtaking scenery and town/city/village 'imagery' outside my window to inspire me for my great American novel about the transit-superstition consciousness in this Western world. However, I was then confronting a real 'stranger' form of occurrence while on that 'magical' train journey, one that would inspire my real tale (hmm).



En-route from Chicago to Cali, the train conductor informed us that we'd have to make a danger-stop after reports came in of an in-journey bloody murder! Apparently, a beautiful woman in a red dress with a dragon tattoo was shot in the chest and laid in the train restroom to be discovered. This was the very-same 'beauty' I passed by in the food-car of the 'Super-American-Railways' symbolic train and fell in love with (at first sight!) and named her 'Esmerelda' (for my proposed novel, and I told her about it too!). I was in pure shock/horror, wondering what 'mad scientist' would want to orchestrate the death of such a pretty woman in this great American country of living standards.



I later learned the fair and sexy red-dress wearing 'Esmerelda' was laid-to-rest in a cemetery near where the train stopped, where she actually/ironically lived, and I decided to conduct my own investigation which led to the suspicion she'd been killed by an iconic executive who knew of her extra-marital pregnancy because of their adulterous affair and had a 'gargoyle' positioned to commit the veiling bloody murder and create an orchestrated 'stranger-killing' hypothesis with the authorities. I decided to put-aside my own interests in train-murder storywriting and fashion a special 'nonfiction' veiled murder-mystery to expose this executive-maniac (at least for the American readers/audience who just might stumble upon a 'cool' method of 'negative-exposure' of the man in this American 'transit' tragedy).



I learned even later on that the man was then accused (formally), after my novel was published (and I won the Pulitzer!) and was sent to trial but decided not to pursue a further inquiry into the matter and clear myself ('incompletely') of this entire bloody murder affair/occurrence on the 'Super-America-Railways' symbolic train. I instead got myself a "Xenomorph" sci-fi horror-media franchise action-figure model/figurine and put together this time-capsule which includes this 're-telling' revelation of this strange 'train-murder-mystery' alienation.



WAITRESS: You look pensive, Mister.
ME: I had a real ordeal to meditate on, after winning the Pulitzer, honey!
WAITRESS: Sounds like a rather 'cool' tale, Mister.
ME: Maybe I'll share it with you (sometime)...over a tasty pumpkin-cake eat.
WAITRESS: Sounds promising (thanks).



I'll never forget my fair/red 'Esmerelda' on that 'Super-America-Railways' symbolic train 'journey' from Chicago to San Diego, nor will I ever expose the details of this bloody murder mystery through any other channel but through this time-capsule earth-buried revelation to be dug/exposed/shared (on social media!) following my own (natural!) death. However, what I do remember now more than ever and always shall was the 'turn-in-transit' that led to the red-lady's death rather than her 'incomplete' embrace into my own dominion that would've (otherwise) led to a 'cool' fleshy romance/story.



I've also included a special Selfie-photo (image) in this time-capsule contained story and murder-mystery, for the honor of my 'Esmerelda' and the 'Shadow-Writer' who just wished/dreamed that he'd become her special...stranger...hero-of-the-train in this new Earth of transit/examination social-media (or personality!).



Why was Esmerelda caught in the 'red-pit' of Hell? Was this executive-maniac simply a 'typical' messenger (or diplomat!) of all things 'sour' in our capitalist race? I decided to enjoy the iconic Agatha Christie adapted film Murder on the Orient Express and 'dream' about what separates capitalism disorientation...from direction (hmm).
