The Train Brought Them Together
At twenty-one years of age, Jim leaves Orlando hoping to begin a new life that doesn’t contain costumed characters or ghosts from his past. He meets Sara for the first time on the train. She adds an extra dimension to the journey back to his childhood home in Savannah, Georgia. Jim’s best friend and his miserly, affluent father encourage him to join the Army. The GI Bill would fund his college education. Afterward, he could become an FBI Agent and fight against crimes similar to his sister’s murder. He suffers from bouts of PTSD after a disastrous mission in Grenada. With some coaxing from a loved one, he travels to a family member’s home in Sintra, Portugal, hoping to heal his broken soul. During midnight wanderings, he discovers supernatural beings and questions his sanity.
