  1. Wow I just had a spooky new dream about evil train networks.
  2. Basically, it started with me and my older brother walking home from some sort of nearby festival. It was fun, and Effie from discord was there but I also lost my hat and found a cool glove/gauntlet instead. Anyway, he went on ahead of me and I decided "sweet i'll just catch up soon." But I was hearing trains rumbling by in the distance (prolly because I had window open irl when i fell asleep xd) and as I was walking down to where I have to cross the railroad on a wooded hill as a shortcut home, I saw that there were multiple little trains *and cars* moving quickly across the railroad, and there was a small group of people waiting on my side for an opportunity to cross. We were confused and kept waiting. Eventually, the group of people ended up with just me, some kid named Robert, and a girl named Christina who i've known since I was a kid. As there seemed to be a gap in rail traffic, we approached the tracks and I realized that something changed, as there were now five rails, and the second and fourth rails were electric (like literally sparkling with electricity). As it turned out, the two new rails were added for electric vehicles, which is why there was so much traffic on the railroad now.
  3. Anyway, I decided I was scared of being shocked and was resigned to take the long way home. Robert was still inspecting the railroad, and Christina had an idea for him but I was already heading home the long way along with some other people. As I was leaving though, I saw/overheard a creepy older lady confront Robert and commanding him to get shocked and then follow "the others" to kill them. One of the people with me figured that "the others" doesn't necessarily mean us, and in fact probably doesn't, but as we were running to make the railroad crossing at a safer spot and then go home, we heard Robert confronting others behind us and them begging for their lives @.@ so we both ran SO FAST. Eventually, with Robert close behind, I reached the railroad crossing. As I jumped over it, I decided to deliberately brush my foot against an electric rail and my hand against a fence to give myself a quick shock as safely as possible, since I figured that would stop Robert from coming after me. It worked and I was finally safely on my way home on the other side of the tracks.
  4. Nonetheless as I was heading home, I could see that the world has changed in spooky ways, and the new train network (apparently called the Chain Train) has made our country dystopian in some disturbing ways. On my side of the railroad, right next to our little neighborhood, some infrastructure has built to support the Chain Train's expansion, and it felt like some kind of concentration camp...apparently this thing also came with a cost in lives. Me and my loved ones were safe from this system but it was still creepy to have to live in such a world now.
  5. And THEN it turned out that this was the setting of a spooky new 9-book dystopian science fiction series called either the Chain Train Saga or something more poetic that I remembered in the dream but now forget. In these books, the protagonist Levi (short for Leviathan) fought against a system represented by these new chain trains, and apparently I had just lived through Book 1. Now that I was safe, I started reading Book 2 lol, and I looked at the front. I forget what Book 2 was called now, but Book 4 was apparently was Witches' Remains or Witches' Bones or something like that. Book 7 was some made-up 4 letter word, and Book 8 was just called 741 (I think). But yeah it was a spooky dystopian series about the evil Chain Train network that were somehow both industrialized and demonic, it actually reminded me of Oddworld a bit but more grim and disturbing.
