The Curious Case of the Red Button

By Shamus E. Malone   

A train zooms down a twisted track
The engine boxcar roars
A red button glows in the dark
A dog bites a father’s shoe
A pack of colorful cars have crashed and are caught on the track
A mother belts out tunes in the shower
The train is fast approaching the crossing
The conductor blows out a toothless whistle, but the cars remain immobile
He rushes to the engine room, jumps up, and smashes the red button!
The train comes to a screeching halt, barely missing the cars
A loud scream circulates from upstairs
