The Train On the Wall

The Train on the Wall

A child drew a charcoal train on his bedroom wall before going to sleep. At midnight, a faint chugging sound woke him up. He opened his eyes and saw puffing clouds of real white smoke drifting from the drawing. The charcoal wheels were spinning rapidly against the drywall. A tiny conductor leaned out of the drawn locomotive window, tipped his hat, and blew a whistle that sounded exactly like a cricket chirping in the corner of the room.
