The railroud line with a story

“once upon a time there was a railroad line”

We are living in some very hard times right now. It’s a world of gods and men!

Today’s story is an old one, one from long ago. See, on the road to Hell there was a railroad line and
there were three old women all dressed the same. They are always singing in the back of your mind, I
introduce to you the Fates! Fates are a group of three weaving goddesses who assign individual
destinies to mortals at birth. Their names are Clotho (the Spinner), Lachesis (the Alloter), and Atropos
(the Inflexible).

On the road to Hell, there was a railroad line. People are saying our lady of the upside-down has
been seen steppin' off a train. With a suitcase full of summertime. Persephone is her name! She
hasn’t been seen since the end of summer last year. If it’s true what they say, then summer might be
coming back again soon.

There is something special about the trains on that railroad line. It’s said that if you ride that train to
the end of the line. You'll find the king of the mine where the sun doesn’t shine and it’s always shady.
Almighty MR. Hades! The man with feathers on his feet otherwise known as Mr. Hermes would be
the person to help you to your final destination.

This is mostly speculation up until now but we will make sure to keep an eye out for more news on
the possibility of Persephone coming back.

This is not the only story that’s been going around, apparently, someone is actively trying to solve all
of our global problems with a song. It’s not clear yet how this would be possible and who this person
is. It might very well just be a by-product of the news about Persephone potentially coming back.
People are getting desperate for good news and stories like this give them hope. Hope for a better
future. Even if it seems very unlikely and impossible.

Weather conditions are worsening

The wheater conditions have been unstable for many years now. To a point that some people have
trouble recalling what it was like before the wheater became as unstable as it is today. People are
struggling to get enough food due to shortages and they don’t have easy access to firewood.
Meaning that a big part of the population is very close to dying. We asked some people to tell us
about their experiences and this was what they had to say: ‘’The weather ain't the way it was before.
Ain't no spring or fall at all anymore. It's either blazing hot or freezing cold. Any way the wind blows.”

The way their living conditions are described is worrying, referencing the feeling of when your body
aches to lay it down. When you're hungry and there ain't enough to go round. There is no length to
which a girl won’t go. Anyway, the wind blows.

You would do anything. Just to fill your belly full of food. Find a bed that you could fall into. Where
the weather wouldn't follow you.

We can only hope that change will come soon.

Is there hope left for Change

I'm workin' on a song. It isn't finished yet. But when it's done and when I sing it. Spring will come
again. When? I haven't seen a spring or fall since. I can’t recall

That's what I'm workin' on. A song to fix what's wrong. Take what's broken, make it whole. A song so
beautiful. It brings the world back into tune. Back into time. And all the flowers will bloom

A boy named Orpheus is said to have traveled to hadestown to bring his lover back from the dead.
She left after the storm became too powerful. She was given a train ticket and given thus given the
option to work in the mine. But that had meant signing her life away to Hades. The boy did manage
to make get to her. But he had to prove himself to the gods themselves. Orpheus had a gift to give
and tushed their hearts with his song and brought the world back into two. He did get a final test
from Hades and that test cost him the love of his life. It’s a tragedy, but that’s how the story goes.
