Chain
In the first class AC coach of an express train, Saumya, a young girl in her early twenties, occupying the window seat, was busy reading a novel. She was too engrossed, even unwilling to get distracted by the waiter who was there to offer food. She gesticulated at him not to disturb her.
At the next station, a dishevelled, distraught boy came and sat next to her. As the train gained speed, he quickly thrust a folded paper into her hand, running towards the door.
Hurriedly, she pulled the chain after looking at the paper, but it was too late.
