He began to walk down the aisle, sni昀케ng the air and examining the passengers. When he reached
Me, he asked, “Sir, can you tell me if you’ve experienced any symptoms?” I nodded, rubbing my itchy eyes. “Yes, my eyes are watering, and
my throat is sore.” Dr. Müller nodded sympathetically. “I see. And have
you noticed anything else unusual?”
I thought for a moment before responding. “Well, I did notice that the
train was moving backwards for a while.”
Dr. Müller’s expression turned grave. “Ah, yes.
That’s not good. We need to get to the bottom of this.”
He continued his investigation, taking notes and asking questions. Finally, he announced that he had found the source of the smell: a faulty air
conditioning unit that had been leaking a noxious gas into the carriage.
As we waited for the unit to be repaired, I couldn’t help but think about
the strange turn of events. Who would have thought that a train ride
through the Swiss Alps would turn into a scene from a horror movie?
But as I looked out the window at the rolling hills and picturesque villages, I realized that even in the midst of chaos, there was still beauty to be
found. And as Bisong Simon would say, “The journey is the destination.”
“The beauty of the Swiss Alps is not just in the mountains, but in
the journey that gets you there. Even if that journey is a little unconventional.” _Bisong Simon.
