Train Time

        It’s snowing outside. A heavy, dark cloud looms where the sunrise should be brining the light of day. My train leaves in four minutes. I’ve calculated the walk down to the minute; add three minutes in the case of heavy snowfall.
        Bells. The sound of a bell. Ringing, continuously. The red bell on the building. The fire alarm at the train station is sounding.
        The train is leaving in three minutes.
        What do I do?
        Walk into a potentially burning building to check to see if my train is on fire?

        Approaching the door, I was spared making a decision; the fire alarm silenced.
        I suspect it had something to do with the river of water running out the door. It was cascading down from above the doors to Track 1, rushing down the concourse and washing the snow away from the sidewalk.
        My train left on time.
