After I pulled away, we looked at each other . . . well, basically it was more like we were staring into each other . . . I could see myself reflected in her pupils.
And then she suddenly blurted out in a whisper
‘Oh, you’re making my heart throb’
and kissed me over and over again.
And as if in return, I kissed her back.

The Geeks were relentlessly battered and pounded down. After Train Man left, a momentary calmness took over the thread.

He’s really turned himself into a stealth bomber
He left us no time to issue air-raid warnings and all but wiped us out
I reckon if he’s heading to bed now, it’ll be another 4-6 hours
but I bet he’s too frazzled to sleep so I say he’ll be back in 4 hours

That Train, man, he really pushed himself hard
He returned from his date and went without sleep to attack us
It was definitely something that I stayed up for this but Train is not too shabby either

you know what, when we all read Train’s first report
all of us and I mean all of us told him to go with it . . .
even if we were to factor in the desperate nature of all Geeks,
thank god Train wasn’t derailed on account of some negative comment from us
of course, it’s all because Train was the most passive one of us . . .
160 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 09/05/04 11:15
In the beginning I didn’t think he would develop into a such a mind-blowing bomber
I mean when he first reported about saving those ladies he did say he might have to betray us but even back then I thought he was way ahead of himself.
To think things like this really happen in the world.

Hermes has some child-like elements but
judging from her paying for parking and holding down a job
well, she is a real woman, a really nice catch.
She was meant to meet Train . . . . . . it’s gotta be destiny.
Congratulations Train.
I thought you might cry when you told her how you felt, and you really did
And it’s great Hermes accepted your kindness and returned it with joy!
I always heard that happiness grows when shared by two but now I know
it’s true. I’m getting weepy.

Got quiet in here.
As though the intense brutal air strike never happened, the surviving soldiers huddled together in the silence, thankful. Had the bombing begun early that morning? That, too, was now a long-lost memory.
But still, looking out over the field there was a mountain of skeletal remains.
Random body parts, hands, legs, fingers, hair, eyeballs . . . . . . what a destructive force.
The damage sustained by the survivors was in itself horrible to see.
Next to me stood a Geek Soldier who continued aiming his M92 out into the emptiness though he had no bullets.
Mumbling ‘ah yeah’ like an afterthought. Not even a blink. Grinning from ear to ear. I listened to the sorrowful clicking noise of his trigger echoing through the battlefield.
Beyond his gaze was the land he was fleeing to.
He said, ‘Will resume within the day’
I can’t think of anything. The roar of the explosions is even now vibrating in my head.
He will, as promised, resume his attack in a few hours.
Has the Command Centre been annihilated?
But I . . . I can . . . still move . . . . . . and will keep on . . . till the end . . .

An apparently trivial catalyst plus
lots of courage plus
some backseat driving + meddling
and Train’s own perseverance and development
gave birth to a miracle
take care of her forever.

Woe is I who gave up at 4 yesterday and went to work today only to return once again.
Mr Train, congratulations.
So you, who I’ve been watching over, are finally leaving the lair.
It’s been like a soap. Sometimes it makes me want to bless you and other times it gets me down. It’s got my emotions all stirred up.
But let me just say this one thing to you.
You ffffuuuuu you really betrayed your people!!!!!
On that note, let me shove you into the couples board where you can freely googoo and gaga all you want!
And copy this for when you return to the dark side.

I’ve been up since yesterday morning—I just clocked 32 hours.
I somehow managed to survive the real-time attacks too.
I’ve been posting how long I’ve been up every so often.
This thread is Train’s history but it is also mine.
Ok, it’s a bit forced but give me that much yeah.
I’m not going to bed now because if I do that I won’t be able to sleep tonight.
I’m gonna go and get some curry now laters

I think we were kissing for about 2 or 3 minutes.
Some time had passed and after I cooled off I said
‘I still can’t believe it. I keep thinking this is a dream.’
She reached up with both her hands and pinched my cheeks
‘See, it’s not a dream, is it?’
‘I huznt uurt aaa iiiz naaa a dweeaam’
I wanted to say ‘It doesn’t hurt but it’s not a dream’ but it didn’t come out right because she was pinching my cheeks.
Watching me, she burst out laughing.
Then she made me laugh too.
After we finally calmed down we started talking about all the stuff we couldn’t talk about before.
Why we fancied each other and things that were on our minds.
We talked and talked but never ran out of things to talk about.

She told me that during the whole train incident, she didn’t think of being attracted to me or anything like that.
Though she did say ‘Now that I think of it, maybe I was already drawn to you’ but at the time she basically thought ‘didn’t know there were any brave guys these days’ and didn’t think much more of it. Since she had the chance to buy the Hermes teacups cheap she thought they would be perfect as a thank you gift.
She didn’t think I’d call that day either.
She was really glad I was so blown away by the gift.
When I asked her out to dinner, she didn’t think much of it and assumed it would end up being a one-off.
On our first date, while we were talking over dinner she thought ‘I want another chance to talk to him’
It wasn’t that she started to fancy me then and there but it was more like being on the same wavelength. And she felt comfortable talking to me.
And then she talked to her friends about me. The girlfriend she brought on our second date asked ‘You like him don’t you?’ and that made Hermes realise perhaps she did. But to make sure, the girlfriend came with her on the second date.
This’ll go on for ever if I tell you about everything we talked about in the car.

The gods of the story are the geezer on the train, the one who asked for the teacup brand name and the one who told Train to call. You know what. It’s kinda like when Christ was born and the three kings went to check him out.

Talking for two hours took it out of us
We were speechless for a while . . .
‘Do you want to go somewhere?’
she said, breaking the silence.
I agreed
‘Where do you want to go?’
she asked, and I thought about what would be open
I did think of somewhere else but I calmed myself down and said
>
‘Do you want to go to a diner?’
‘Well now that you mention it, I am a bit hungry’
she laughed.
As she got ready to move up to the front seat
I said ‘Just one more’ and reached for her arm and stopped her
and gave her a light cous
but then she said
‘A little more’
and kissed me three or four times.
Then she wiped her lipstick off me

So we ended up driving back to her part of town and decided to eat at the local diner. She said she hadn’t been there ‘in a really long time’
. . . and here’s a killer line from our drive there
‘I feel lonely being so far from you while I’m driving’
and we’re talkin maybe about 10 or 20 centimetres of space
so we held hands while we were at red lights.
We finally get back to her part of town and go to the diner.
She quickly ran into the bathroom to check her make-up--
she told me that the harsh lighting exposed too much, not that I gave a damn
I waited couldn’t wait for her to return
and flipped through the menu but couldn’t work up an appetite
so I decided she could choose.
She came back after about 15 minutes and I asked her
‘Could you order for me too?’
and she ended up ordering the Japanese dinner set for me.
Wow, she knew exactly the kind of food for someone who didn’t have
much of an appetite . . .
