The train really was taking the bend far too fast.

He could see it and knew with absolute certainty just what would happen next, just as he knew there was no avoiding this moment. Jill might have fumed and Susan might have begged, but there was no escape from destiny.

He didn't shut his eyes.

There was a frightful roar and something hit him with a bang, but Edmund didn't have time to feel any pain. No, the moment it hit, he jumped straight up in bed with a horrified gasp, like you would waking up suddenly from a particularly terrible nightmare.

He was breathing hard and his eyes were wide, but he was, most definitely if his rapidly beating heart had any say in it, alive.
