A low rumble shook the platform. Lights flickered on down the tracks. A single train rolled in and the doors hissed open, even though the board still showed nothing. No driver. No passengers. The man gripped his ticket and stepped toward the open door.

He stepped on, and the doors snapped shut behind him. The windows went black. When the light came back, the same station slid past outside, the same bench, the same blank board. The train had not moved at all. It had only circled back to where he started, and it would keep circling forever.
