Fiction

A chicken-farm employee named Scratch, sent by his manager to buy feed, has boarded the right train. Hasn't he? So what if the destination on the ticket is wrong, or if he's locked in his compartment, or if the lights are off and it's suddenly freezing cold? And surely the whispers of a pending accident are referring to some other event, long in the past. Right? Part allegory, part fever dream, Mystery Train leads the reader on an unsettling journey into a dark wilderness thick with intrigue, mysterious women… and wolves.
