The sleepiest of sleepy little towns that time forgot.

I’m pretty sure that I was pushed, but I managed to catch myself as I tumbled out of the train and onto the Maybe Station platform in the town of Some Day.

Where was everybody? I went into the station to look for a map. A bored teen sat behind a windowed enclosure. “C’aye help you?” she slurred.

“Maybe…” Hah. “Do you have a map of the area?” I asked.

“A what?”

“A map.”

“Don’t you have GPS on your phone? Like, everyone around here just uses Google Maps.”

“Oh. Sure. I guess that would work.” I looked down at my phone. No bars, no WiFi. “Or not. Do you think I could find a room near here?”
