Every night at precisely midnight, a ghostly train passed through the abandoned tracks outside of

Glenvale. Nobody knew where it came from or where it went, only that it never stopped. But

sixteen-year-old Thomas had always been curious.

One night, he sneaked out and waited beside the rails. As the clock struck twelve, the train arrived,

cloaked in mist and silence. Its lights flickered like fading stars, and the whistle was no more than a

whisper on the wind. Thomas hesitated only a moment before jumping aboard.

Inside, the passengers were shadows--flickering memories of those who once lived. An old

conductor greeted him with a nod and handed him a ticket with a single word: "Closure."

Thomas walked through the cars, each one showing a different scene from his past. His

grandfather's workshop, his childhood bedroom, and finally, the hospital room where his mother had

passed. He cried, not from fear, but release.

When the train returned, he stepped off changed--lighter, unburdened. No one believed his story,

but that didn't matter. The midnight train still comes, and Thomas always leaves a candle on the

windowsill for those who might need a ride to find peace.
