The Twilight Zone:

Going Home

By J.C Nichols

It was two weeks before christmas and schools were out. This would've been a cheerful time for Sara and her family. But it wasn't she and her husband and her son Peter had just buried her mother who had died and now she had to take care of all the final matters. But Tom her husband had to go back early becase he had last minute meetings that needed to be done before the holiday. So Sara and Peter left later. They arrived at the train station early and she decided to call home to tell Tom that they were on their way but she couldn't get an answer. Thinking that was funny but there was nothing to do about it. So she just hang up and got their tickets. The train station was quite different from most. There was and area inclosed for passingers to come and go. But if you wanted a snack or paper, or ect. you had to go outside to one of the many vendors. So naturly Pete was hungry so they got out from their seats and walked outside. Just as they were to leave with food in hand a woman wearing a Leppard coat came running by. This was strange because there were signs everywhere telling that load noises could cause an avalanche. Because this was a mountain and there had a Big Banks of snow all around them. Anyway she came running by and then two policemen came after her one fired his gun, then there was nothing. Later Sara and Pete went back inside to wait for the train. Sara noticed that place was empty all but a woman crunched down in the corner crying. Its my faught all my faught. Sara then notice that she had a leppard coat.

At that very same moment a small old man came in saying tickets please I must punch your tickets for the proper destenation. Sara and Peter got their tickets punched which they saw the words Going Home stamped on it. But the woman's said a long and never ending journy. The woman just went on crying saying that it was her faught over and over.

The Little man called out train coming time to board. Sara, Peter, and the Lady got up and headed for the train. The train was a weird color you might say it glowed. The three got on the lady had to go in the direction that said a long journy, Peter and Sarah went were it said Going Home.

Sara didn't understand why this was and why the three couldn't sit together. She wanted to asked the old man but he was gone. Then it uther disbelive she saw her husband sitting side by side with Dad. which couldn't be because he had died two years ago. Then she gasped two years ago this very time period. She cried out Tom what are doing here I thought you were home, and what is my my. Before she could get the rest out Tom said I was driving home when my car slide off the road and then a bright light appeared, and then I heard your dad saying come Tom it's time to go so here I'am. Just then she heard a voice behind her. Come honey there's no need to worry. Sara turned in utter dismay the voice she heard was that of her mother's. Mom cried Sara but you and dad are dead I just came from your funeral. Now dear said her mother calmly it'll be alright just drink this coco I brought you and everything will be fine. Sara did as she asked and then goes some to Pete. A warm and loving feeling came over them both and everything was alright. They settled down in their seats laughing and talking like nothing every happened. They were all going home.

Later back in Sara's home town a newspaper article read that a woman wearing a leppard coat held up a vendor at the train station and while she was running away two cops chased after her one fired a gun causing an avalanche killing the woman, and a young woman and her son, also in the news was a report stating a car had slide off the road and hit a tree. The driver was killed.
