Left Behind

"May I have your attention, please?" the attendant announces. "We will be exiting through the front car. Will everyone please move to the front car?"

You notice that the doors between the monorail cars are now open. Buzzing nervously, the other passengers begin filing out. Having chosen to sit in the back, you will be the last one out. Your throat begins to tighten. Heaving your corpulent body to a standing position, you struggle to keep up with the departing crowd.

Just before you reach the exit, however, the attendant steps in front of you and holds her hand up. "I'm sorry, sir," she informs you sweetly, "but management has requested that you remain on board." Before you can protest, the attendant hops out of the car with a smart backward skip. A split second later, the door slides shut with a soft pneumatic hiss.

Sinister laughter erupts from the P.A. system. You glance about desperately, a hard lump forming in your throat. You recognize that laugh. It's Raffles!
