My entry

The tracks were still alight, defying the dusk and bright as ever. The rest of the woods were consumed by gloom. Dead centre, maybe a hundred paces back, walked the shadow. Its shoulders hung limp, loose arms catching an awkward bounce from time to time. But its stride was sure and its gaze was forward, even though there was no face to be seen. Smoky curls puffed all around it, floating in stagnant clouds before being lost to the fading forest behind.

A final tear slipped out of Gabby’s eye, and when she blinked again, that resolve was back. The chill broke so fast that they both gasped.

Only two more parts, nearing the conclusion. Thanks for the giveaways

But right now, her cool hand was entwined with his, and they wove through the sun-drenched sidewalks of the little town, waving to people on their porches, making their way to the little tenement where she was staying.

Entangled.

He doubled over and sat down on the tracks, tried to regain his composure, and failed entirely with a loud, reedy fart.

The forest never woke up either. The cicadas and katydids seemingly had the night off.
Now that is eerily quiet...

When the last sliver of sun slipped behind the trees in the distance, the shadow spoke for the first time, in a voice delicate and devious.
"Burn."

Gives me chills, every time. Count me in!

This time I was lucky. Thanks for the prize! I liked this paragraph for the next one:

“This is where we burned,” she said, turning in a slow circle. The temperature began to fall, as if to salve the crimes of the past. He could smell it too. Sickly sweet. Chemical. Controlled.

“They say the trees never burned. That’s not true. I watched them burn with us.”

“They never made it,” he said. He looked at the thing that used to be Gabby. She was still beautiful, even now. “They weren’t on time. You weren’t… on time.”

His breath came out in a cloud and his sweat felt like an ice bath. “You did everything you could back then, Timekeeper. Today, let’s go home. Let’s take them all home.”

“Goodnight, Gabby,” he said, mostly to himself.
“Goodnight Gordon,” she mumbled. Then her breathing levelled.

Gordon eh? 😮

this is my favorite part at the moment.

Seen some strange scenes in this lifetime, son, I tell ya that. Can’t fully say I’d set a watch by any scoutmaster’s bedtime ditty but I know this world ain’t as cut ‘n’ dry as we’d ‘spect or hope it to be.

Hello happy afternoon, I am just discovering this wonderful story, I read my first part today and was hooked, the narration is great, the part I liked was "Barton had lived here most of his life, and all the little kids had heard some variation of the story of the haunted train tracks".

I like horror and mystery stories, I wish you much success in publishing your book.

(ENG) I'm so glad you had the joy of writing a 17 chapter story, Wow really impressive, I loved the development and the ending was something different that I didn't see coming, well, here's to that! In the final chapter the line I liked the most was "Rarely, they'd chat, but never about trains or tracks or ghosts."

(ESP) Estoy muy contento de que hayas tenido la dicha de escribir una historia de 17 capítulos, Wow realmente impresionante, me encanto el desarrollo y el final fue algo diferente que no vi venir ¡Bien, por eso! En el capítulo final la línea que más me gusto fue: "De vez en cuando, charlaban, pero nunca sobre trenes, vías o fantasmas".
