Introduction

The last train of the night was supposed to arrive at 12:40 AM.

But when Daniel boarded it, he noticed something strange.

Every passenger was sitting perfectly still.

Nobody spoke.

Nobody looked at their phones.

And nobody seemed to be breathing.

He thought they were simply tired travelers.

Until the conductor approached him and whispered:

"Whatever happens, don't let the passenger in the last carriage see your face."

Chapter 1: A Train That Shouldn't Exist

Daniel had missed his usual train after working late at the office.

The station was almost empty, and the cold night wind moved through the abandoned platforms.

At exactly 12:40 AM, an old black train arrived.

Its windows were dark, and its doors opened without making a sound.

Daniel checked the station display.

There was no train scheduled at that time.

Still, he was exhausted and desperate to get home.

He stepped inside.

The carriage smelled of wet clothes and something unpleasant, like flowers left too long in a closed room.

There were about fifteen passengers.

An elderly woman sat near the window.

A young boy held a broken toy.

A man in a gray suit stared at the floor.

None of them moved.

Daniel chose an empty seat.

As the train began moving, he noticed something strange about the windows.

There was no reflection of the passengers.

Only darkness.

Chapter 2: The Conductor's Warning

A few minutes later, a conductor approached Daniel.

He was unusually tall, with pale skin and tired eyes.

"Ticket, please."

Daniel handed him his ticket.

The conductor examined it and suddenly stopped smiling.

"Where are you getting off?"

"Central Station," Daniel replied.

The conductor slowly shook his head.

"That station doesn't exist anymore."

Daniel laughed nervously.

"What do you mean?"

The conductor leaned closer.

"Listen carefully. There are rules on this train."

Daniel looked confused.

The conductor continued:

"Never look into the last carriage."

"Never answer anyone who calls your name."

"And if someone asks you what year it is, don't tell them."

Daniel wanted to ask why, but the conductor had already disappeared.

He looked around.

The passengers were still sitting silently.

Then the elderly woman beside the window turned toward him.

She whispered:

"He's already noticed you."

Chapter 3: The Passenger Without a Face

The train entered a long tunnel.

The lights flickered.

For a moment, Daniel saw his reflection in the window.

But something was wrong.

His reflection was smiling.

Daniel wasn't.

He quickly turned away.

When the lights returned, the young boy across from him was staring directly at his face.

"Are you going home?" the boy asked.

"Yes."

The boy shook his head.

"Nobody goes home from this train."

Daniel stood up and walked toward the next carriage.

As he opened the connecting door, he heard a terrible sound.

Someone was crying.

The sound came from the last carriage.

He remembered the conductor's warning and stepped backward.

Then a voice called his name.

"Daniel..."

It was his mother's voice.

His mother had died seven years earlier.

"Daniel, sweetheart... please come here."

His eyes filled with tears.

He knew it couldn't be her.

But the voice sounded exactly the same.

Then it said something that made his blood run cold:

"I know you're still angry because you didn't answer my last phone call."

Daniel froze.

Nobody knew about that phone call.

Nobody except his mother.

Chapter 4: The Truth About the Passengers

Daniel rushed back to his seat.

The elderly woman was no longer there.

Neither was the young boy.

The other passengers had turned their heads toward him.

Every single one of them was staring.

The man in the gray suit finally spoke.

"We've been waiting for you."

"Who are you people?" Daniel shouted.

The man slowly raised his hand and pointed toward the window.

Daniel looked outside.

The train wasn't moving through a tunnel anymore.

It was passing through a cemetery.

Rows of old gravestones disappeared into the darkness.

Then he noticed something written on one of them.

His full name.

Daniel's heart nearly stopped.

Under his name was a date.

Tomorrow's date.

He stumbled backward.

The conductor appeared behind him.

"I told you not to look."

Daniel turned around.

"What's happening? Where is this train going?"

The conductor answered quietly:

"This train carries people who have already been forgotten by the living."

Daniel shook his head.

"I'm alive!"

The conductor looked at him with pity.

"Are you sure?"

Chapter 5: The Last Stop

Suddenly, the train began slowing down.

A station appeared outside.

Its sign read:

THE LAST STOP.

The doors opened.

Cold air entered the carriage.

All the passengers stood up at exactly the same time.

They began walking toward the exit.

Daniel grabbed the conductor's arm.

"Please! Tell me how to get off this train!"

The conductor looked directly into his eyes.

"There is one way."

"What is it?"

"You must remember how you died."

Daniel stepped backward.

"I didn't die!"

The conductor sighed.

Then he opened a small notebook.

Inside was a newspaper clipping.

The headline read:

YOUNG MAN DIES IN MIDNIGHT TRAIN ACCIDENT.

Daniel recognized the photograph.

It was him.

Below the headline was the date of the accident.

Seven years ago.

The exact night his mother had died.

Suddenly, memories returned.

The rain.

The headlights.

The sound of metal crushing.

And a phone ringing inside his pocket.

It was his mother calling.

He had been rushing to answer her.

Then everything went black.

Daniel dropped the newspaper.

He understood.

He had never boarded the train to go home.

He had been riding it for seven years.

Chapter 6: One More Passenger

Daniel looked at the open doors.

Beyond them was a small platform covered in white fog.

His mother was standing there.

She looked exactly as he remembered her.

She smiled and held out her hand.

"Come on, Daniel. I've been waiting."

He took one step forward.

Then another.

But the conductor suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

"Don't go yet."

Daniel turned.

"Why?"

The conductor's expression changed.

For the first time, he looked frightened.

"Because someone has taken your seat."

Daniel looked back into the carriage.

A man was sitting in his place.

The man wore Daniel's clothes.

Had Daniel's face.

And was holding his phone.

The stranger looked up and smiled.

Then Daniel heard the phone ringing.

It was his mother's number.

The stranger answered.

"Hello, Mom."

Daniel screamed.

The train doors slammed shut.

The lights went out.

And the train disappeared into the fog.

The Final Mystery

The following morning, a railway employee discovered an old black train standing on an abandoned platform.

There were no passengers inside.

Only one newspaper lay on a seat.

Its headline was strange:

ANOTHER PASSENGER DISAPPEARS WITHOUT A TRACE.

But the employee noticed something even stranger.

On the back of the newspaper was a handwritten message:

"Tonight, the train will need another passenger."

That night, at exactly 12:40 AM, a young man waiting alone at the station saw an old black train approaching.

Its doors opened.

A pale conductor stepped outside.

He smiled and asked:

"Are you going home?"

The young man nodded.

The conductor pointed toward the train.

"Then you should get on. Someone has been waiting for you."

And from the last carriage, a familiar voice whispered:

"Please... don't let him take your seat."
