Chad walked through the bustling crowd making his way towards Cromwell Ground Alley with his goodies to sell, He made his way snickering to himself about his theft he committed. He was a Proud young man, growing up with rich parents made him greedy, he had wanted more than money. He wanted something else in life, he wanted to feel the exhilaration of being able to do something bad and get away with it, whenever he would get caught he would just use his parents money to get out of it. He was bored with his life, the only way he felt happy was taking from other people. He walked into the alley, "I got tonights goods." Rob looked up, "What you got?" Chad passed Rob three wallets and a watch, Rob searched through the wallets taking cash and ID cards, he shoved them in his pocket and tossed the empty wallets on the floor. Chad sighed and stuck his hands in his pockets, "Ever since that guy disappeared a couple of weeks ago it's been harder to steal." Rob crossed his arms, "Is this seriously all you got, don't your parent's own a country club or something?" Chad was annoyed he knew that Rob was a horrible business partner, but he was the only one who would do business with him. "It's been hard alright don't hassle me!" Rob clicked his tongue, "Call when you get the real stuff." Rob pushed past Chad and disappeared into the crowd, Chad sighed and looked at his watch. "Crap, i'm going to be late!" Chad rushed out of the alley towards the train station, "Crap, Crap, If i don't get home right now father will kill me!"
He dashed through the crowd running up the stairs, but he stopped at the top, quickly scanned the trains looking for him, yet his eyes stopped at a certain gray train. He saw big numbers on the side of the train, "thirty-eight, isn't that the morning route train?" He brushed it off, he just needed to rush home, but something about the train had grasped his attention, he didn't know why but his mind was telling him to get aboard the train. His mind felt blank, he mindlessly started walking towards the train pushing people out of his way. He walked inside and the doors closed behind him, he heard a voice in his head, "Sit down in one of the seats." He moved and sat in the seat to him, he began to close his eyes and drifted away to the sound of the train starting to move.
He woke up to a cheerful whisper, "Be happy!" He jumped out of his seat and looked around in confusion, "Where am I?" The seats were bright green, the floor was a bright red rug, which hurt his eyes, he hated bright colors. The only acceptable thing about the room was the walls, which were beige and the carved wooden sign above the door. he squinted at the sign and read, "Train thirty-eight destination...." The rest was scratched out, he was confused, why was he on the train? He couldn't remember getting on the train, but at this moment he felt like he didn't care. He hated his life, he hated when other people were happy because he wasn't happy. He dropped down back into his seat and sighed. "Why am I here, did I unconsciously step aboard?" He looked out the window and saw darkness, he started to ponder his situation and that when it hit him, "Gosh, father properly paid the station to have this train here just for me!" He closed his eyes, he held himself at a higher social rank above others, even his own parents. From the moment he could speak, he always got what he wanted, but eventually it started getting boring. He had wanted more, he would never be happy until his desires could be filled. He opened his eyes to the sound of gas filling the room, White mist covered the entire room. When He breathed in the mist, he felt happy? He never felt this way before, he stood up feeling energized, the mist was affecting him in a joyful way, his lips curled into a big smile. He started to huff in the mist, he wanted it all for himself, for once there was something that could be just his and nobody else. He felt a force pull him to the back of the train, so he followed it.
He had been following this force through the train carts, the deeper he went the more mist entered his body, He felt so much joy, his mouth hurt from smiling to much. His smile kept getting bigger and bigger. He entered another train cart, he looked around and found the cart empty. There were no chairs, windows or his beloved mist, He felt scared to walk into the train cart, he cheerfully cried out "Must I go this way, my precious mist isn't here!" He heard a cheerful whisper, "If you keep moving forward you'll find more happiness up ahead!" He listened to the voice, he began to walk through several empty train carts all carbon copies of the first one, His smile felt so wide. He felt his bones in his jaws cracking. He felt crazy, he needed to feel happy, he looked around another train cart but this one was different, written all over the walls in pen and read cheerfully "I'm happy!" He started repeating those words, then he heard the doors lock on both sides. Little bit of the mist entered the room, he was happy, he repeated it over and over again screaming his throat out, "Im happy, im happy, im happy, im happy, im happy!" The more he chanted the more the room filled with mist, he was so very happy. He was so happy that the whole room was covered in mist, his face and throat hurt so much, but he didn't care because he was finally happy. A wrinkled pink figure appeared in the mist, it stepped closer walking towards him mimicking him in a cheerfully sweet tone. He was so happy his face started to distort his smile grew even bigger, the bones in his jaw finally broke. His smile, so big and bloody had reached his eyes. His eyes grew wide in pure joy. The creature was more visible, he smiled even wider in pure joy, exhilarated at the creature's big wrinkling head, eyes pure black, mouth a big cheerful wide smile with razor sharp teeth, arms so large with claws, the creatures had long lanky legs. The creature opened its arms wide, he felt welcomed.
He walked joyfully into its arms, The creature's arms wrapped itself around him in a big bear hug, the sweet cheerful voice spoke, "I'm so very happy, so lets be happy together!" The creature slammed him onto the ground holding him in place with its legs, The creature's arms slashed his chest open. It started to rip out his organs one by one, he was gone, his screaming had stopped, The creature started making space in his body, it ripped out his bones from the chest wound, then started to put him on like a skin suit. The voice spoke, "Now we can be happy together forever!"
