On December 21, 2012, according to the Mayan Calendar, the world was supposed to end. It didn't. But on that day, 113 mysterious manuscripts were discovered around the world, each one written in blood by an unknown author. After several dozen unexplained deaths befell the finders of said manuscripts, a decision was made to lock them up for good in a secret vault beneath the Vatican. It is said that anyone who reads the stories will die, and as such they are now referred to as 'The Cursed Manuscripts.'
In December 2020, new manuscripts started turning up around the world. 'Hell Train' was one of them.
MANUSCRIPT ID: 12/20-03 (ZOMBIE).
Details below. Manuscript 12.20-03, discovered May 2021 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by teenager, Tom Dutton, who fished it from a stream. Tom Dutton drowned in a flooded basement just one day later.

Clip, a psychology student, and Xavi, a med student are catching the train into the university for an afternoon lecture. But today, they aren't going to make their destination.
Shortly upon entering a short tunnel, the world stops making sense, and the future suddenly seems short. There are dangers on the train, least of all the other passengers, and for some reason the lights keep going out. Strangest of all, the train should have left the short tunnel several minutes ago. It's almost like the tunnel goes on forever. And ever. And ever.
