The Train to Nowhere

Prologue

When you fall asleep, you find yourself aboard a train. Rumor has it, if you make it to the engine, the Driver will grant your deepest wish.

...

Nobody really knows when it started, it seemed to happen overnight. Everybody started talking about the Train to Nowhere. At first nobody thought anything of it, just some sort of shared dream where you sit on a train. Then the rumor started. Who started it and where it came from is a mystery, but it spread like wildfire.

At first, there was a mad dash for the Engine, but it soon became clear that it wasn't that simple. You had to travel through the cars, and each one was different for each person. Most soon gave up, having decided that it wasn't worth it. In order to grant your deepest wish, you would have to face the deepest parts of yourself, and most did not like what they found.

That first wave became known as the Frenzy. Those that persisted after the Frenzy were called Pilgrims.
