The Premonition of Kelly Bray

The Premonition of Kelly Bray

The Wheels screech and squeal the click clap rythum monatome halts the turnpikes of time as the train doors dispatch themselves sending out an invitation for you to take up the role of being passenger amongst this reality we call the long carriage of life Nobody knows the duration of your stay but the mysterious happy go lucky ticket punching train conductor 

Your name is Kelly Bray or so the news outlets say From looking across this rain stained window from the downpour outside I can tell you have beauty radiating begging pleading bubbling within the tunnels of your mind like a empty ghostly subway lit only by a flickering dim strip light trying it’s hardest to shine bright 

The automatic doors to the humming train halted train open its on a busy schedule it’s only that I’m here that time has paused within this plain of existence Kelly Bray oh how you face the side of the platform and smile wide That smile looks happy so full of joy and hope But I know Kelly Bray as your smile widens stretches and your teeth start to crumble away and break into clouds of dust Your golden long swirling swishes of blonde hair tangles itself within the train doors you run alongside the train in silent horror as your smile has ripped away your ability to speak your hair suddenly snaps releasing itself from your head The bones of your arms and legs tangle and mangle within gruesome shapes of no return the train lurches But that’s no matter most likely have been leaves on the tracks which caused the ongoing train a minor hiccup

NEWSPAPER HEADLINES FROM THE HAPPY GO LUCKY TICKET PUNCHER CONDUCTOR

KELLY BRAY LIVES FROM ATTEMPTED SUDIUDE TRAIN COLLISION 

Yes that is right it’s me your friend Fate here Kelly I see all the tracks you might travel down your underground of demons when one starts to tumble into one of his dark passages or train wrecks remember that there’s light at the end of tunnel and there’s always more track to be built or added 

There is a man called Thomas yes ok so your rolling of your eyes train puns I know he tells me His life is brilliant or it would be if you would just notice him he told me you smiled from a crowded place maybe a subway just last week and when you did that he felt fucking high errr pardon me for being so blunt but it’s true because he said to tell you that your beautiful

Kelly Bray walked to the edge of the platform and wondered what next the answered came in the form of a train Kelly looks up and peeks the heart warming friendly smile of man that she has seen passed many times before on this journey into the city hello Thomas she thinks she steps onto the train there’s a seat next to Thomas Come to think of it there’s always been a empty seat next to him has he been hoping that she would have sat by him for how long? Kelly thinks back to the metro newspaper lonely hearts section that she filled out to someone calling themselves Thomas The Tank Engine Gosh it was you wasn’t it? Kelly remembers Thomas dashing forwards nearly everyday helping get her bags down from the overhead storage and calling her beautiful as he did it each time even trying his hand at flirting once : You must think I’m fucking high as he smiled at her Kelly had turned as she had stepped from the train to smile and wave back at Thomas from a crowded subway but she didn’t think he had seen her

Kelly walked a few more steps and as Fate would have it Thomas looks up and smiles

:Tickets please have you got a ticket for me to punch the conductor asks Kelly with what she thinks is a wink she hands it over and gets it stamped

Now sit down madam the conductor says

Kelly looks to Thomas

Do you mind if I sit next you

That would be brilliant I thought you were never going to ask Thomas says laughing 

I’m sorry I have been feeling a bit.....

Derailed Thomas adds meekly well girl on the train what about I ask you out for a coffee before the end of the line

That would be nice

Well it would make my life brilliant beautiful Thomas says happily

Ok stop that you sound like you are quoting a cheesy pop song Kelly laugh’s 

Wow blunt much beautiful girl

How about calling me Kelly ok Thomas

As you wish Kelly let’s go and get this coffee that’s if the train gremlins don’t get us first this is a ghost train

That’s a lame line for me to hold your hand or something Kelly asks laughing

Yes yes it is Thomas adds as the train enters a dark tunnel he feels Kelly take hold of his hand

Kelly feels the darkness take hold and 

Was it a line Kelly or are we abroad a ghost train Thomas laughs

Oh shut up you doingbat Kelly laugh’s 

Ok Kelly I will
