You think you’ve seen me before
You drive a brand new Ford
I think you should give it away
I think you should catch that train
I never thought it would come to this
I never thought I’d miss your kiss
I never thought I’d give you away
I never thought you’d catch that train
The planeet earth has lots of seeds
I know lots of funny deeds
You really push me knock me out
You really should take that train
Aw, she’s just a party doll
I don’t care for that girl at all
I think you should give her away
Think she should catch the M-train
Please please please go away
Please please please take that train
Now that this song is over
You’re just a Cassanove
And there is no refrain
Just the sound of the M-train
The Safe Keeping/Box of Rain story is told exactly as it transpired. I saw Vernon as I was leaving, it got me to thinking, and I took home all of my stuff only hours before everything else in my office was destroyed. I don’t think Vernon had anything to do with the office flood. He had his young son with him at the time. But it was a crazy coincidence. My sixth sense about both the office invasion and the office flood was divine intervention, in my view. I couldn’t be that lucky twice.
Rattlesnake was the third scene I wrote with my career coach as The Sorceress. Sorting out the timeline after Claire’s visit to the end of M-Train took a long time. And seriously, Tania in HR’s conduct was utterly disgraceful with respect to both PIP#2 and my formal complaint against The MP and Vernon, when she knew full well that I had been the target of extensive workplace bullying for a year by this point.
Aw, she’s just a party doll
I don’t care for that girl at all

Wishing to stick as close as possible to what really happened in The Strange Remain, Look Alive and M-Train lack that climactic “storming the castle” scene, which any good novel has. The scenes were a continuation of the 3-D chess, cat/mouse game that went on, the change being that I had to go on offense to avoid getting fired for refusing to comply with PIP#2.
(More likely, she knows exactly what she’s doing.)
The ‘verdict’ on my complaint made it clear to me, and I should have included this in the story, that Tania in HR wasn’t doing her job, that she was invested in protecting The MP more than protecting the company. If another ‘incident’ transpired, I planned to go around Tania in HR to the legal department, and bring everything out in the open, and let the chips fall. Strangely though, after Tania in HR’s verdict, I sensed that none of that would be necessary. And I was right.
