After taking their seats, Mr. Ghosh and the tea seller felt uneasy. There was no one on the train except them. The train was dark from inside. There was no light inside the train. Mr. Ghosh got the window seat and the tea seller sat beside him. Mr. Ghosh looked outside of the window. The train's interior was dark with no lights. The seats were black and dusted as if it had not been touched for years.
Suddenly the tea seller starts coughing for some time. Mr. Ghosh got a shock. He thought as if a ghost attacked the tea seller.
So Mr. Ghosh asked, "Are you okay?"
He said, "Yes."
Then the tea seller and Mr. Ghosh started discussing their lives.
They questioned, "How's life going on?", "How is your wife and son?", etc.
Then the INTERCOM of the train announces stations which are not in existence.
Mr. Ghosh ignored the fact and continued his conversation with the tea seller.
Then in a station, the train slowed and stopped. The station was dark and no one was there. Suddenly a person boarded into the train. The train started to go. Then suddenly, the TT of the train came and started asking for a ticket. Mr. Ghosh showed the ticket to the TT.
As the train was going, it gradually started to increase its speed also. Mr. Ghosh then got a flashback that he saw the news of this train years ago that it was derailed. Then also it is still in existence. Mr. Ghosh's curiosity grew. He wanted to ask the TT how the train is still in existence but the TT did not listen and went to another compartment and merged among the darkness.
Then a tunnel was coming. The train suddenly jerked at the halt for a tunnel. As it became pitch dark, suddenly a gas started to release into the train and they all fainted.
