The Soul Train

By G.L.Newman

Ten-year-old twin brothers, Noah and Jacob have always lived in a world where childhood wonder thrived. Monsters under the bed, ghosts in the wardrobe, fairies in the garden, even Father Christmas himself-their imaginations knew no bounds. But nothing could prepare them for the devastation that was about to shatter their lives when their mum, the heart and soul of their family, was diagnosed with cancer.

At first, the treatments offer a glimmer of hope, and the family dares to believe life might return to normal. But her condition continues to worsen, forcing the twins to confront the heartbreaking truth that their mother is slipping away.

The laughter that once filled their home is replaced with bloodcurdling screams, and the weight of grief presses down on the boys, leaving them lost, scared and desperate for a miracle. Then in the dead of night, a strange and otherworldly sight appears outside their bedroom window: a train, a spectral sight ablaze with colour, floating in the air, unlike anything they have ever seen. The train seems to respond to their fear and longing, appearing when despair grips their hearts the tightest.

Their elderly neighbour, a mysterious woman named Mrs Frogman, who had a reputation for eccentric tales and strange wisdom, hints that this train may be no ordinary vision. She speaks of Ancient Egypt, of knowledge and power lost to time, and of journeys that can alter destinies.

For two boys who desperately want to save their mother, her words ignite a spark of impossible hope. Noah and Jacob must decide whether to trust in the fantastical - to step aboard the mysterious ghost train and follow where it leads. Their journey promises to test not only their courage but also their bond as brothers. They will face challenges, strange creatures, and forces that blur the line between light and darkness, and the question that weighs heaviest on their hearts: can love and determination truly defy what appears to be a foregone fate?
