Barasat Junction at 11:30 PM. The platform was almost empty.
Rahul stood alone under the dim yellow light of platform no. 4. His last exam had just ended, and he missed the 11:15 train. The next train, the last train, was at 11:47.
The cold wind of August was blowing. Suddenly he saw a girl sitting on the bench, clutching her bag tightly. It was Sumana, his classmate. She looked scared.
"Sumana? You are still here?" Rahul asked.
Sumana looked up, "Rahul? My scooty broke down and my phone is dead. I am waiting for the last train"
Rahul sat beside her. "Don't worry, I am also waiting for the same train. We will go together."
The announcement echoed - "11:47 er Bongaon local..."

But the platform felt strange. The lights started flickering. A cold announcement came that was not on the timetable.
Both of them felt that this last train was not a normal train. It was something else. Something that only comes for those who are lost.
The clock struck 11:47, and a train arrived with no sound. Its doors opened slowly.
