The Vanishing Path

The distant chime of the last train has faded into the deep, dark night. The once-polished steel rails now curve into the overwhelming gloom of the forest, slick with the unyielding rain. The ancient trees stand as mute sentinels, casting elongated shadows over the wet ballast. Patches of fallen leaves and stones are slick with moisture, a few luminescent fungi clinging to a decayed log, their faint glow the only spot of light. Where these tracks lead, nobody knows; perhaps they vanish into a dream, or to a place that exists only in memory, a destination that can only be reached in the silence.
