Winter. Yeah. It happens.

I gotta be in Fargo, in three
days.
Fargo is snowed in for at
least 3 weeks.

Shit.

I have to go by rail.

Trains have always reminded
me of Germany. (Thanks Gramps)

Baggage checked, I board with
my go-bag. Socks, boxers and a
few nudes of my wife and girl-
friends. I never travel alone.

Decent little cabin in the third car.
I'm alone. Thank God.

I get comfy, and the train begins
to move. The rythmic bumps and
clicks quickly bring on sleep.

I awake. Silence. No movement.

Either a station, or we're there.

I debark. Nice rural station.
Noone on the platform.

More silence.

I turn around, and there is no train.
Only the passenger car.

I need to piss, so I figure I'm lucid
dreaming. I find the head and re-
lieve my bladder.

Returning to the platform, the
passenger car is gone.

There is a cattle car sitting there.

I attempt to wake up.
No dice.

I find the schedule. It's printed in
German.

I try again, to awake. I can't.

I walk to the cattle car. Dropping
my carry-on while slowly walking.

I slide open the door.

I've seen photos of my grandmother.
I know she died in Auschwitz.
There she knelt.

I'll never forget the last words I
heard, as an engine coupled with that
cattle car.

"Why was I left behind ?"

Regards,
Lex
