Show Notes
Peter Harrington is a 43-year-old workaholic who is overweight, a smoker, and has high blood pressure. His business associates and wife keep telling him that he will drop dead one day if he doesn't completely change his lifestyle. One day, after another hectic day at work, he runs to the station to catch the 11:00 p.m. train home. As he sits in one of the compartments, time starts to drift past 11:00 p.m. with no train departure. Slowly, he starts to see that all those around him, railway employees and passengers, act strangely towards him as none are concerned about the late departure. Where is this train going and will he ever get home?
