shrieking, and throwing objects, but not at the tram. Luke shifted in his seat to try and get a glimpse of what they were chasing. A woman ran with a child on her back. The child was a little girl, with a teddy bear clutched in her arms. The woman glanced behind herself. The creatures were gaining on her. One of the soulless people had barely any clothes on, its bare feet slapped against the dark metal flooring, its arms swung violently through the air, it even smacked the tram as it glided past it, grazing the skin off its knuckles, but it didn’t flinch. Did it even notice it just scraped its hand?
The tram hadn’t reached the platform yet. It drove past the mob of monstrous people as they raised their fists in rage and made horrifying inhuman noises. Luke could see the woman more clearly now, she was breathing heavily and struggling to keep the little girl on her back. Tears rolled down from her green eyes and onto her cheeks. The girl slipped slightly and her mother shrugged her back into place. The tram was parallel to the fleeing females. The little girl turned her head to the tram, her eyes met Luke’s. Her pupils grew larger. Water brimmed at the little girl's eyes. She was ready to cry again, almost as if she was scared of Luke more than the pursuing ruthless beings. He sat stunned. He didn’t know what to do. Should I help? But what can I do? Before he could come to a conclusion the mother led her daughter away from the tram, and down into a pitch black corridor. The things gave chase into the blackness, and once again Luke was alone.
Luke bolted upright. He'd nearly fallen asleep. He slapped himself in the face in the hope it would keep him awake, but it was futile. He needed sleep, and soon. He picked up his bag and rummaged th rough the contents until he found the drink of water Maxwell had provided. He took a couple of mouthfuls and placed the bottle back into his backpack. He needed to ration his supplies carefully. He didn’t know when he’d get more food and water.
Luke turned to look out of the window again. He needed something to concentrate on to keep him from sleeping. All of the main lights had been smashed here too. Only the lights from the tram and the dimly lit backup lights remained. As the tram moved past station after station Luke saw hundreds of different cannibalistic savages. Some turned away from what they were doing and began to chase the tram. Others threw objects at it. Something hit the window next to Luke and left a large splatter of blood. The tram was much too fast for the things to chase, after a few seconds they were out of sight.
At another station, shivers went through Luke’s spine as he saw four abominations. They were huddled together around something. One raised its head, its face scratched in many places and blood covered its lips and chin. The thing had something between its teeth. It raised itself higher which allowed Luke to spot the long, blood dripping liver that the monster pulled at with its teeth. Luke gagged as another one of the things snarled and snatched the other end of the liver. The pair fought over it as if it was a game of tug-o’-war. They only stopped when another abomination bit down in the middle of the organ, blood splattered against all four of them, and then they jumped back in to finish the rest of the half eaten human.
Luke shifted nervously. Something wasn’t right. He glanced out of the window again. He couldn’t see anything just the dimly lit, shallow glow of the, backup lights as he passed them, and then he realised. The tram was slowing down again, only this tim e, it was stopping. He stood up and placed his backpack on his back. A squeal from the breaks echoed through the tunnel. This can’t be good.
“ There are multiple blockages ahead.” The familiar female computerised announcer sounded out of the speaker system. “Would passengers please exit the tram when it comes to a complete stop, and then make your way to the next
