I was on my nightly walk, whistling a tune. I noticed something in the distance, and walked towards it. There was someone else walking, and from far away, I smiled.
"It's a nice night for a walk, would you mind if I joined you?"
"Do what you want to do-"
"Well that's great,  because I'm going to!"
     I laugh, walking next to them.
"Ay, not to annoy you or anything, but I really have to ask, what a young dude like youse doing out on the tracks? You waitin on a train?"
"Nah man, let me explain-"
"Alright.."
"Im just mindin' my business so maybe you should do the same. Ive just been a witness to something sick and sadistic, So twistedly disgusting you should feel real lucky you missed it.."
    I laugh again, shaking my head.
"Ooh, but easy with the tongue, son, try to listen carefully.. What you've seen's scary, but nothing when compared to me-  I could show you things to paint all your dreams haunted. I could make you scream if I wanted."
     The person gasped, and I wrapped my arm around their shoulder.
"Or I could be the bee in your bonnet, your best friend forever.  Two peas in a pod flockin' like birds of a feather!  And you never have a need to beg, work, or steal- If all this sounds worth it then let's make a deal!"
   They nodded, and I continued.
"All you want in life, for the price of your soul. All the money you can fold, power that you can hold. I'll put you in control! Only if you're down to roll down those train tracks tonight."
   The person thought for a little, and nodded.
"So, where are we gonna go?"
I smirked, hearing the sound of a train approaching. I continued to walk, explaining all of the things I could do to help this person's life out. The train was approaching. At the right moment, I shoved them in front of the train.

There was a reason people seem to be enchanted by trains.
