Reze stared outside of his metallic enclosure, what was previously a cacophony of cement and steel was now replaced with a symphony of the natural world.
The doors of the train opened,
"You have now arrived at .... "
The voice to indicate his arrival had cut off due to one of the plethora of minute issues in the trains mechanism, likely caused by the malfunction which ended him up here.
A shroud of light blue tinted mist flowed into Reze's compartment, causing Reze to shuffle backwards not noticing the body behind him, resulting in a trip backwards with his arms extended behind him and his legs making an arch over the body.
It all happened so fast that Reze couldn't process it, he just sat idle processing everything that had happened to him.
He sat there for a few more moments as his gaze panned one hundred and eighty degrees Infront of him.
The sight was like a serene warzone, with bodies lain in disorder and order simultaneously.
The passengers who remained seated all fell over on each other with the occasional one or the other falling out of the seat, but for the most part they remained unharmed.
The passengers who remained standing however, were not so lucky.
This was due to no fault of their own however, as the seats were always filled in the bustling metropolitan city Reze was from.
Some had blood leaking from various locations of their bodies and limbs twisted in ways they shouldn't be.
To Reze, it was terrifying, yet he couldn't look away.
The sight of bodies lain symmetrically on each side of the train with more, disfigured bodies lain in the middle.
Once he snapped out of this trance like state, he decided that his first course of action would be to check the pulse of the person he had fallen over.
"Why let it bother me, right?"
he said as he got up and positioned himself away from the open door and placed his thumb on the mans wrist.
"Ooh ok he's alive,"
He carefully got up, avoiding accidentally stepping on the body after which he moved the body off to the side of the train opposite to the open doors, then quickly he went over to the most badly injured bodies.
"They'll just scream when they wake up anyway"
He said calmly as he snapped those dislocated limbs back after which the ripped off bits of clothing belonging to the person he was helping to patch up their bleeding if they had any.
Reze was so immersed in patching up the injured that he hadn't noticed his advancement of the blue mist, which had now enveloped about eighty percent of the compartment.
"They seem okay"
he whispered as he glanced at the passengers who were inside the mist,
he chuckled nervously as he reached out the tip of his index finger into the mist with his eyes gently shut.
It felt as if he had dipped his finger into cool water, but there was only slightly more resistance to movement than air.
he pushed the rest of his fingers, then his hand, and then his entire body into the mist, and once fully immersed the blue tint of the mist subsided.
Trying to breathe in this mist felt like trying to breathe when someone had a loose but firm grasp on his neck, but after quickly taking a glance outside one of the many windows in his compartment Reze saw the now barely distinguishable blue tinge of the air extend as far as the eye could see getting deeper the farther he looked.
His eyes were fixed to the window for a little longer, as he observed an odd species of tree with gray branches with white spots which curled into a clockwise spiral and green leaves which curled opposite to the spiral of the branches.
These trees were not all too common, one was scattered around what seemed like one in thirty or forty other trees, which were all similarly strange.
Now giving up on the idea of being able to breathe easy, Reze let out a deep exhale which he now had to compensate for immediately with multiple deep breaths, and got back to patching up the remaining injured which now took Reze significantly longer as he had to take breaks in between sufferers.
"That should be the last of them,"
He said while letting out another deep sigh, followed by a frustrated
"Goddammit,"
as Reze realized during one last panorama of the compartment, that there were at least 5 more compartments to go through.
