    About this ebook

    Imagine when you die that your soul doesn't go to Heaven or Hell, instead it goes to a place called "Terminus". It is in Terminus where your soul awaits the train to eternity, number 666: "Consequences Limited". Your seat in the train is chosen based on the sins you have committed through life and in this train, First Class seats are not the ones you want! When it is your turn to pass to the afterlife and the conductor, ‘Skelonian,’ comes to collect your ticket… you better have it ready! A short story based on a nightmare that the author had; you are invited to take a ride.
