#SymbolicSaga
The train rumbled on like an old man moving painfully with a stick in hand. I sat at a window seat admiring the rapidly moving scenery like a Kaleidoscope A host of colorful flowers splashed like a riot of colors .Suddenly it was pitch dark inside the compartment as if my eyes were smothered with a thick blanket. My heart plummeted , like a rocket , then sank down like a pebble in a sea.The train had entered a tunnel and I have claustrophobia. I shut my eyes tightly like a tight lid on a box.
Time crawled like a tortoise though I wanted it to race like a hare.
After what seemed like an eternity light emerged like dawn break...and suddenly it was light.
I realised I had been holding my breath , hyperventilating.Heaving a sigh of relief I opened my eyes .
My heart was hammering against my ribs overdrive. Slowly and steadily I became normal. Then came the aftershock. My head had begun to throb like hammer hits and I felt an urgent need to use the washroom.

. This was one memorable train ride I'm likely never to forget.
