It was to be a normal journey home, carriage full of book-reading phone-fiddling strangers sitting at the front of the train as usual ready to jump out at last station we share and off to our homes.
The journey was as normal till at the second last the train didn't leave the station, then the voice started repeating, "will somebody help me", we didn't understand at first, then someone did, he opened his window and using his phone as a torch started trying to call back to the voice.
It then slowly dawned on the rest us what was happening, a mixture of confusions crossed everyone's faces. The guy with the torch grabbed the driver and the lights dimmed as the track-power extinguished as the cacophony of emergency vehicles arriving arose.
It was a solemn walk as we left the station and as I ran home all I could hear the voice of the man no longer going to his.
I can still hear him in my head calling out for help, and worse when he stopped.
