Chapter 7 - Over the rusty rails and onwards

The tracks went on and on, until he could see a giant bridge go across a chasm. Ask the cart swerved towards it, he closed his eyes and ears, so he wouldn't have to see what was below or hear the creaking in the beams. After about 1 minute, he opened his eyes, and he was sitting on the ground. Something crazy was happening, were the berries kicking in again? But he hadn't had anymore... No this was actually happening.

He stood up and looked around. Endless plains surrounded him, with nothing else but an old train station in front of him. Ask he walked into it, he was shocked by how... new it looked. Everything looked perfectly new and all the lights were on... and he smelled food! He was starving, he rushed towards the scent. He found a food court filled with fresh food, he didn't even question why it was there. Pretzels, sandwiches, soup, everything was eaten. He was fully sated and ready to leave.

But then the questions kicked in, why was the food here? Why was he in the middle of nowhere? All questions that he knew he probably would never have the answers to. Just then, he heard a sound at the door, naturally he would have hid, until he heard that voice call out...

"Shaun? What are you doing here?!"

Shaun turned around to see a very familiar face from school, and was both confused and comforted.
