No light at the End of the tunnel

The rat dwells in the dark abyss with the sounds of steel clashing invoking sparks, the electrical current races through the rail seeking discharge, looking for redemption. The rat moves swift to evade the bolt of electricity but his body resists his minds actions. Unable to keep with the requests, he takes a hit and his blood increases tenfold, his eyes start to bulge spewing out the white ooze that gives him comfort. His heart pounds against his chest. His empty stomach rumbles with a thundering roar and starts to leak droplets of bile against the stainless metal. The current leaves no mercy for his exhausted body but leaves him little hope. It travels through looking for another host to lay its infinite rage. The rat’s eyes begin to close, his thoughts race through him. Suddenly, a light shines in the distance. He turns his head; he commands his arms to reach toward the light, to grasp what heaven holds for him. He tries to embrace the afterlife.  The train doesn’t stop.
