      About the Author

      This book is dedicated to my love, Tom.

      Thank you for encouraging me to explore the darkest places in my mind where my twisted stories are born.

      All that we see or seem is but

      a dream within a dream.

      ―EDGAR ALLAN POE

      Chapter One

      HUNDREDS STORMED THE train the moment it arrived at the station. The anxious crowd barely waited for its screech to a halt before they began their chaotic and mad rush to board. Marley felt like a grain of sand in the sea of passengers as they pushed and squeezed their way through the doors.
