Clackety Clack.

A ride on a train - but where are we going?

"Zzzzzzschnort", I drooled as I opened my eye.
"Clackety Clack", chortled the train in cheerful reply.

I opened my other eye, cautiously. Trains shouldn't say "Clackety Clack" when perched by the platform!

I stiffened in my seat and glanced down at the dial...
Now I slump in my seat at the start of the trial.
