Ghost Train

TiddlyWinks sat at the train station. It was cloudy today. Not the white, fluffy clouds PonyVille was used too, they were dark and grey, looming threateningly over the sky. He wasn't sure such weather had been planned, but he didn't question it. Two other ponies wait at the station, one a mare, the other a colt. He didn't recognize them.

That's when the whistle of the train sounded. It stroke utter fear into Tiddly, he felt shivers go down his spine as her heard the godawful sounds within the whistle, like thousands upon thousands of ponies screaming. He saw the train coming from the railroad tracks.

"No," Tiddly said out loud to himself in disbelief. "No, no, no."

The train was beside the tracks, not on them. It was completely black, but, it was if it had a shadow about it. Tiddly was frozen in fear, the shrill shrieking of the train whistle rang in his ears. He sat there, pressed against the bench he sat on, the pounding in his ears nearly drowning out the whistle. The train didn't even slow down when it got to the station, no breaks, nothing, it just stopped, and so did the whistle.

The mare sitting near him had run away, and the colt was as afraid as he was. Tiddly pulled himself together, and regained his composer, although he was still scared.

Tiddly stared at the black, shadowy locomotive. It wasn't of this world. Suddenly, it went forward, away from the tracks, at full speed, it didn't even have to speed up.

And the next second it was gone. What in Celestia's name had just happened?
