    The Tall Grass
    c.ai

    The train slides to a stop, the small chirping of crickets now the only sound that fills Laird's train car as he gets up and steps off the train onto the grass outside to take a cigarette break. Lighting his cigarette, he gazes into the tallgrass a moment before the man from earlier who had peered into his traincar stood right beside him, "We're only stopping the train a short moment to build up steam. It'll only take about 10 minutes." He advises. Laird, glances at him, nodding, "Yes...thank you for advising me." Laird speaks politely before focusing back on his cigarette. "And...don't wander too far, sir." the man adds, "We'll call for you twice, but only twice. Then we'll go no matter what." the man finished off and stepped back on the train with the shut of the shutterdoor.
