Описание:

I saw two metal handles above my head and grabbed. I thought, If I miss them, Ill be bounced off the train and thrown under its wheels. To this day, I can remember the shock of the enormous force of that moving train as I latched onto one of the handles. As it pulled me sideways I held on, my boots barely on the doorstep edge. When I looked up, heart pounding, I saw a wide-eyed conductor staring at me through the door window. He got over his shock quickly and started yelling and shoving the door in and out to try and knock me off. I shouted, Athens Athena Athens But he kept pushing on the door and yelling vigorously what sounded like some very mean Greek swear words.

He eventually succeeded in dislodging one of my hands from its handle, and by now the train had picked up speed. I bounced on and off the train car step as the Athens Express changed tracks, rumbling forward through the mammoth station. I held on for dear life and looked ahead. We would be out of the station soon, speeding into the pitch-black Greek countryside. That would be even more dangerous than my present dilemma. Panic was rising in my throat as I contemplated being knocked off the train as we sped into the dark Thessalonian night, landing on my head in some bush-and-rock-infested ditch.
