Instead, the sorry porter lost her footing on the slippery top step of the 3.17 leaving Park Road station and lost her head when the 3.15 express to Roma Street hurtled by.
The sorry porter still wears her uniform cap, cape, boots and gloves.After all there are dress standards to uphold.
Or the underworld will go mad.
She's stuck with that blasted hatbox for eternity.
Fortunately the unnamed and long-forgotten porter has two young friends who visit her as she paces up and down the lonely platform.They came out to play tonight.
The girl Wednesday had tired of her all-black ensemble and adopted a stray pair of pink sneakers.
She likes to scare the porter into fetching and carrying for her ... which is the porter's lot in death of course.If you squint, sometimes you see blurry versions of them.
The young sorcerer's apprentice is also lost, but the porter can do nothing to help reunite him with his master.Just fetch and carry for the undead boy.
The trio prepared to join their fellow lost and undead souls.Despite the torrential rain on young Wednesday, she lost her deathly pallor and her rosy cheeks made an appearance.
She only smiles when the weather turns foul.
She bumped into a witchy friend and they managed a smile, which means they were thrilled to see one another.The strange trio of Wednesday, the sorcerer's apprentice and the porter were invited to lead a magnificent parade of the undead at dusk.
The wee lassie threw lollipops at the sorry souls of children who lined the streets, their eyes huge as skull holes.
Thousands of spectators turned out to ogle at strange specimens such this beautiful rotting wench.
Slender Man was everywhere, the one at far left stayed perfectly still, watching, watching, watching.
It got dark quickly, which only excited the creatures even more into action.
When darkness fell, vintage hearses and cars rammed with corpses wowed the crowds, who thrilled at the chance to go all-out and impress.Slasher nurses and orderlies, plus thoroughly demented doctors were de riguer, while the giant Rubik's cube amused and fire breathing, bloomered, carni-gal stilt walkers amazed.
Welcome to Halloween.
