In the dim, flickering light of the train compartment, a young woman named Adeline sat hunched over her journal, chronicling her journey away from home. A metallic scent floated heavily around her while the train clattered over the tracks breaking the eerie silence. Vibrations echoed through her bones, matching the increasing rhythm of her anxious heart.
Adeline was leaving everything she had ever known, the peaceful routines of the small coastal town she had called home and stepping into the bustling, chaotic vortex of city life. She was heading towards the teeming metropolis, seeking the aspirations of a career in journalism that her small town could never offer her.
Staring out of the window, she watched the world rolling by under the soft moonlight. She was accompanied by the distant howl of a hound and the silhouette of the undulating hills stretching wide across picturesque fields. Each clack of the wheel against the track was a beat drawing her closer to her unknown future. She felt anticipation and fear knotting in her gut.
She clutched the worn leather suitcase that contained her lifes possessions; an old typewriter, her favorite novels, clippings of her published articles from the local newspaper, and a fading image of her family. As the train shrieked to a halt at an isolated station, she glanced at her weathered wristwatch. It was past midnight; the station was deserted and hauntingly beautiful in the moonlight.
Adeline leaned back against the plush red seat. Her eyelashes flickered as she fought sleep. As she listened to the rhythm of the train and the symphony of crickets beyond the window, she envisioned what lay ahead – a sphere full of dreams and fear of the unfamiliar.
Finally surrendering to her exhaustion, she breathed a cozy sigh, embracing her last hours inside the surreal tranquility before reaching judgment day at dawn. Moonlight snuck into the compartment, casting an eerie glow on her sleeping face, adding a surreal touch to the painting of a young woman chasing her dreams on a night train to destiny. The night was deep, filled with anticipation of a new chapter in Adeline’s journey of life.

Kaiju and Lovecraft nightmares,
Gargantuan a size unseen,
Towards the horizon, monstrous figures,
Big, bigger, they loom in dreams.
In a world where reality we betray,
Two times big, with fear we pay,
Underneath mystic, moonlit ray,
Awaiting the break of dooming day.
