Barely underway, he feels obliged to help an aggravating, but intriguing young woman named Allison, who may or may not be a goth, and who may or may not be able to turn into an octopus. Allison claims she has lost her travelling companion, an elderly gentleman named Gabriel whom she met on the platform. No one else on the train remembers seeing him. As they search the compartments for this possibly imaginary acquaintance, Mack and Allison find themselves careening towards a confrontation that seems at once artificial, familiar, and dangerous. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephanie Barbé Hammer is a 7-time Pushcart Prize nominee in fiction, nonfiction and poetry.
