Eye See You: The Last Days of Janelle pt. 12

My conversation with Randy went as expected.
He listened, but he didn’t believe me.
No, the Unknown Sender would have to push him a little more before he really believed. 

That was how it had been for me.
That was how it had probably been for the people before me. 
Who knew how many people that had been?

My muscles tense. 
The fear came at me like a wave. 
I stumble.
My heart is beating so hard that I can hear it in my ears, and feel the throb of the vein in my temple. 

I rush towards the stairs, towards the EL, towards escape. 

On the platform I can suddenly breath again. 
I feel calm.  I feel… I feel hands on my back.
I hear the train coming.

I close my eyes.
