Captives
The telephone on the platform is locked in a yellow case. Perhaps someone is worried it will escape, because there it is, a yellow case with the word "Telephone" written on it, padlocked. Just beyond it, a couple sits on a bench waiting for a train. They're in their fifties, but they're necking like teenagers. A train goes by very slowly, while the overhead signs flash "Train won't stop". It stops anyway, to the squeal of breaks. The doors, however, don't open.
