Inferno
[The Commuter Chronicles — Part 5]
Circle Line via King's X ... 7 mins
Check Front Of Train ... 11 mins
Circle Line via King's X ... 14 mins
Hmmmm ... where could that second train be headed, I wonder.
What do you think?
Would those of you with an IQ ¹ like to take a guess?
No?
What if I gave you a clue?
You're on a Circle Line platform, heading in the direction of King's Cross.
Go on ... take a wild stab in the dark … where might that train be headed, do you think?
Whilst I'm on the topic of ̶l̶e̶v̶e̶l̶s̶ depths of stupidity that aren't simply a crime against Humanity ... nor even against the whole planet ... but against the entire f**king Universe ²...
What do you mean "via King's X"!?
It's the f**king CIRCLE line!!! ⁶
And, what's more, it had better be going via King's f**king Cross ... because I'm AT King's Cross NOW!
So, if it's a train that's going to appear at this platform and it isn’t going via King's Cross, one of us needs putting out of my misery — would you like to guess which of us it is? ⁶
—
¹ Any IQ ... even an IQ of '1' ... will do.
² Which ... remember ... is, apparently, both infinite in size and, furthermore, expanding ³.
³ In the Beginning, there was absolutely nothing at all
... which exploded ⁴.
⁴ Into nowhere at all ⁵.
⁵ <sigh> ⁶
⁶ If you don't understand what point I'm making here ... don't tell me — I will not be gentle with you, if you do.
