The Haunting Of Car 17 - The Gathering

Part 5: Collaboration with Sharon

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Electrically charged, they sound that bell

Increasing speed, now on a mission

With orders to fill, directly from hell

The steaming train wheels glow red, hissing

The chilling song the demons scream

Blocking with glee the prayers from heaven

Exposing the evil of its vilest dreams

Claiming each soul with its possession

The engineer plays the puppeteer

Pulling the strings to sound the whistle

Covering the cars and tracks with fear

Shooting its prey with barb like thistles

Numbing their sense of right and wrong

Filling their heads and hearts with venom

Knowing that now it won’t be long

Until each soul riding these tracks are condemned
