Excerpt: Trinity

Footsteps pattered the cold concrete platform on the leafy autumnal day the pair arrived. This autumnal day was non-coincidentally the same day they had both been waiting for since being mere infants, the same day they were brought up to eventually achieve, the same day they were “forcefully guided” to reach. A certain fear lingered in their hearts, the fear being so pitifully frustrating to negate that it only dampened the somewhat simultaneous excited mood the pair shared. Leaves blustered around the rails the train arrived upon, mini tornados from the refreshing breeze creating small whirlwinds amongst the litter, strung far and wide across the platform.
Kiefer dropped his suitcase, waving the introductory letter sternly, yet carefully in front of his brow to cool the heat he seemed to absorb from the train, his wispy grey hair flitting from eyebrow to eyebrow as he did so. It didn’t take long for him to cease this action as the wind quickly reminded him the temperamental temperature was currently in a state of bedlam, as the invisible laws of Autumn scribe. Chiral slid out of the train into the leafy surroundings swiftly after Kiefer, his suitcase on wheels crashing against the platform as he blissfully ignored the step from the train.
“Hey, watch it.” Kiefer jokingly warned Chiral, several passengers executing evil glaring at the 19 year old as if he ate kittens on a regular basis.
“Chill, it’s fine.” Chiral replied, gesturing to his suitcase, rolling his eyes as he began to stride with Kiefer towards the station’s exit. The train propelled itself forward with its incredibly efficient magnetic propulsion methods, and disappeared from sight into a pitch black tunnel.
