This spine chilling story takes place at a train station in Spain. The weather is overly hot and dry on this particular day, and the scenery appears to be ugly. The two main characters are a man (the American) and his partner, who is referred to as “Jig”.
While waiting for the train to Madrid, the American and the girl drink beer and a liquor, the girl compares to licorice. Their conversation is boring at first, but it quickly picks up to the subject of an operation the American is convincing the girl to follow through with. Though it is never said, it is the hidden through the hidden context that the girl is pregnant and they debating whether to have an abortion or not
After talking about this operation for awhile the American is very quiet about it. “I don’t care about me” says the girl. The american then responds, “You’ve got to realize that I don’t want you to do it if you don’t want to.” She tries hard to drop the subject, but the American questions the girl’s intentions and her mental state. She demands, “Would you please please please stop talking?” He grows silent for a while, but then says “But I don’t want you to, I don’t care anything about it.” She aggressively says, “I’ll scream.” “The train comes in five minutes.” The girl is briefly distracted, but then smiles at the woman.
The American then leaves the table and takes their bags to the other side of the station, but there’s still no train in sight. He walks back to the other side of the station and everyone else is still waiting for the train. He then asks the girl, “Do you feel better?” She smiles and says “I feel fine, There’s nothing wrong with me. I feel fine.” Then the story ends. It is never made clear what happened at the end.
It's Austin Poole, not Austin Powers, thanks.
