After a brief s have a bun in the oven, his bath was spend a penny to dive in to. He dived in and while washing himself, (and doing other bathroom activities) he thought about the daytime ahead.First activitie of the day was to pack some clothes as he had train excursion to deal with and then he wouldOh, I am so sorry, how mess I write a story without describing the main character, and his family to you archetypal.Daniel is a 36-year-old enterpriser , who, at the period of twenty-two, decided to start his own business , making computer components. He had a bad turn at the age of twenty-six and nearly went bankrupt due to a shovel infall in the price of shares in the computer components.Now he is doing fine (nearly a millionaire) and him and his wife are very happy and content.He is 5ft 6in and has a characteristic chubby look about him.

She used to have a wide statu re and used to be rebuffly overweight. She at sea this weight due to a strict diet and living regime.Her sandy kinky locks hang over her shoulders and are complemented by her warm soft eyes.Anyway, continuing on with what the day held for him-After his morning shift, Daniel was to call a workers meeting, to out note his plans and to mitt out raises, awards ect. Daniel then had the rest of the day off so that he could sleep to prepare to travel down to capital of the United Kingdom to visit his old mate Joe. He would travel by train, which it peek an if on time quicker than cable car. It cost a tidy forty pounds and would take 3 hours (from shorthorn). Not bad and especially for Dan as he would travel by first programme. This meant that could enjoy his journey and have drinks, food etc as strong.Monday morning (12th May)A shrill ringing woke Dan a 6am. He was staying for two days and started packing accordingly. He didnt take much as he only needed clothes and deodorant to take with him. He had a some get-well cards from friends, by these didnt way much and werent at all bulky. He then had his break fast and wash etc. Daniel kissed Margaret good by, opened the front door and his garage. A gentle elasticity came out of now here(predicate) and I take away card fluttered onetime(prenominal) and landed at the front of Daniels short drive. He dawdled over and picked it up. He looked at it and saw nothing unusual other than a line saying 2100 no 1365. Dan though nothing of it, only a bit of scrap paper, and got in his car. As he turned the firing key and placed his luggage in the passenger seat, he snarl a weird buttelfy feeling in his stomach.This was odd. Since dan had not exercised properly, he didnt have any problems. A thought raced across the vast screen of his mind. It might be a stomach ulcer. His had a history of them, but Daniel had been thriving for the past sixteen years. The thought diminished and he reversed his car and carried on. It wa s only a twenty-minute journey and it passed away quickly and with no problems. The car pulled up at the car park and slowly screeched to a halt. Daniel slid out, remunerative his two pay and display charge and jumped back in his car. He then practiced the difficult not so accent art of parking and slowly got out.The station was normal. The hustle and bustle of every day lime. Many of the passengers are businessmen and women probably going to work. Dan glanced at his watch, which tell 830 am. There was time for a coffee. Just as he turned around to head for the caf, a high-pitched let out dived out of the speakers and into the maze that was Dans ears. The squealing halted and the tannoy sounded. Could all passengers for the train number 1365 Durham to London please listen. The train will not be here at 2100 as scheduled but will be delayed for about 15 minutes. These delays are due uncontrollable circumstances. give thanks you.Daniel sighed, as this was his train. All of a sha rp, his spine tingled and he sensed a feeling of de-ja-vous. He had 2100 no 1365 on a piece of paper. He could not remember when or where but he knew he had seen it. Dan turned back towards the caf and walked towards it. Unusually, he felt he was being watched. He labour his neck to glance over his shoulder when a small hand touched his shoulder. Dan jumped and turned sharply around. How are you Dan. It was Joann Daniels secretary from work. Dan replied with a mumbled, Im all right .Joanne sensed that something was wrong, but thought it best not to ask what. She walked on and faded into the crowd. Dan turned towards the caf and strolled along towards it with his small luggage, slung over his shoulder. He at long last reached his destination and opened the door. Swinging his bag from his shoulder, he sat down. His buttocks landed on the soft, warm seat (probably warmed by some clean dude who farted constantly) and Dan started to relax. He had hardly been on that point for a few seconds when an attractive young waiter approached Daniel.She was about 5ft tall and had long locks of curly hair Dangling from her head and down onto her peninsular-like shoulders.She was thin but on the face of it liked working out, as I could tell from the clear lines on her long arms. Her hands were small and boney, but were terribly scared. The waiter radius with a small but kind voice. Would you like anything sir, she squeaked. After a few seconds of deliberation, Daniel replied, A black coffee please love. Rachel (it give tongue to on her nametag) then chirped Be with you in a minute sir, and then scarpered off to prepare a coffee for Daniel. Just as she said, she returned in less than two minutes with a black coffee, hot and steaming, in a large mug. Daniel sprinkled two sachets of sugar into his mug, and then sipped.He looked around the area where he sat, and sniffed the polluted air. The caf was small, with the tables in rows of four. The tables had four chairs each and bottles of behave and condiment sets sat proudly in the middle on top of a tablecloth. The cloth was opulent and excreted a clean, lemon fresh odour that do you think of spring. The caf was quite eventful and obviously made a good, if not excellent turnover.Daniel finished his coffee and dawdled up to the till to pay. He paid and on his way out, placed a tip of 5 in the hand of the waiter. conveys love. Here, have this as a token of my gustatory modality for good service. The waiter thanked Daniel and he continued on.All of a sudden the tannoy sounded, following that same annoying squeal. Would all passengers for the no 1365 train please make their way to platform four. We are terribly sorry for the delay. Thank you. Daniel grabbed his bags, and jogged straight up to platform four.To everyones bewilderment four police officers, attended by four dogs and an armed swat team were standing by the train, carefully looking at everyone suspiciously.The officers and dogs then started to weave in and amid passengers, as though they were sniffing for drugs and other illegal objects.The dog came up to Daniel, sniffed his bags and then barked viciously at Daniel. Two officers immediately sprinted over and searched ferociously finished his bags. Sure enough, there were drugs in Daniels bag, but they were legal and prescribed by Dans doctor. The police officers apologised, helped Daniel to fill his bag, and the toddled over to their positions. The next obstruction was a take-away metal detector. Everyone was strolling through it, speculating at what caused this annoying chaos. Dan strolled through it, just as everyone had, and then boarded the train.He got on the train, and stared down the aisle. He glimpsed the door to the first mark lounge, and wandered down towards it.The first class lounge was spacious and well ventilated. The buffet counter was in the next carriage to the first class and smelt of common aromas such as pie and chips. The carriage had a s set dow n stench of chip fat and an eerie glimmer of flickering light shed out of the broken bar light.Stepping back into the first class lounge, he looked at his ticket and observed the seat number 321. Daniel walked down the first class lounge, selected his seat and sat on it. He was stock(a) and immediately fell asleep, never to wake again. The train was derailed and no one knows why. The press speculate about why the train was derailed and why there were armed guards at the station. The police wont let on either.
