Sleepers

The summer sun shone on his face, its warm light completely enveloping him as he sat on the wooden park bench.
Her hand brushed over his before holding it firmly, so as to never let go of it. Her blonde hair reflected the sunbeams as she smiled, and planted a kiss on his lips. The grass tickled her feet and she let out a short laugh. They kissed again.
A little girl, couldn't be older than 8, came running at them. He can't recall her name but, somehow, he felt he knew her, and loved her. He picked her upand hugged her as he kissed her in the cheek. She took his hand and dragged him towards the swings. It took her some time to decide which of the 3 swings tosit on, even if they were exactly the same, and finally picked the middle one and looked at him gleefully. He pushed her a few times as she laughed, and looked at the blonde lady. She smiled and waved at him. He felt happy.

A sudden, cold breeze interrupted this moment. The sun was obscured by a few grey clouds, and the ground shook violently. The park itself began to crumble, pieces of it falling into nothingness.
He tried to get a hold of the girl's hand, but the swing twisted itself around her, forming a cage of metal preventing them from ever reaching eachother as she fell down the black void. He ran back towards the woman, as the ground broke up around him. He tried to take her hand.
But he couldn't reach her.

A loud wailing sound. He opened his eyes, before drifting back into sleep to the rhythmic sound of rail tracks. The wailing noise again. He recognized it as the sound of a train horn. Fully awake now, he examined his surroundings. He was sitting in a typical train compartment, with noone else present in it. Trying to figure out where he was exactly, he looked outside, just to find complete darkness not allowing him to see anything at all. He slid the compartment's door open, and walked into the passageway. There seemed to be noone in any of the other compartments. He had to cross about three cars before he found another person sitting in the dining car. This peculiar fellow was reading the newspaper and drinking something that appeared to be tea. It took him a while to notice the visitor, as he was quite consumed by the reading.
"Oh you're awake I see". He examined the man standing in front of him. "About time. We've nearly arrived".
"Arrived where?" He asked bewildered.
"I don't think I'm the right person to explain that, just yet. What matters is that we're nearly there". He sipped his tea. "Had a good night's sleep?"
"Isn't it still night?" He pointed at the window.
"Oh no, its always dark here. Either way, it was just an expression. And you didn't answer".
"I... don't know. I think I saw my family".
His expression changed. "No you didn't. It was just a dream. Hrm. Forget I asked". He went back to reading the newspaper.
"Well, is there /someone/ who will tell me something useful in this place?" He asked annoyingly.
He just pointed at the door leading to the other train cars.
As he walked through them, he saw more and more people sleeping peacefully in the open compartments, just like he was. He wanted to wake them up, but something told him that that would be a bad idea. He came across a woman dressed in a train conductor's uniform.
"Good! You're awake! Come with me. You're getting off at the next stop". She grabbed his hand and dragged him through the passenger cars before he could sayanything.
"But how do you- I don't even have a ticket or anything".
"Haha, you don't need one. I'm just here to make sure everyone gets off where they are supposed to".
"Listen", he stopped her. "I would like some explanations. I don't know who I am, where I am or anything at all. I had a strange dream too, one with my family-" He couldn't finish as the woman started laughing very loudly. As rude as she was, he let her finish, just to see for how long could she go on.
"Sorry, sorry", she said as she wiped tears off her eyes, "but do you really think that was your family? You don't know them, not even their names. Hell, you don't even know your own name, what makes you think you are related?"
He went silent. "Nothing".
"Thats right". She smiled. "Now, this is where you get off. We've arrived. Don't go around asking silly questions or anything." She opened the door outside, and shoved him out. "Buckle up, cowboy, the real ride is about to begin."
