The Midnight Line

A Supernatural Time-Loop Thriller

The 18:05 commuter train was supposed to take him home. Instead, it took him fifty years into the past.

Briggs Worth is a forensic structural engineer. He doesn’t believe in ghosts; he believes in load paths, shear forces, and the inevitability of collapse. He has spent his life calculating risk and pushing his estranged daughter away to keep her safe.

But when Briggs falls asleep on his evening commute, the world shifts. The smell of stale sweat is replaced by ozone and unfiltered tobacco. The plastic seats turn to crushed red velvet. And the date on the newspaper across the aisle isn’t today.

It is October 24, 1974.

Briggs is trapped on the Silver Star—a luxury train liner destined to derail off the Gorge Bridge at exactly 11:42 PM, killing everyone on board.

But this isn't a reenactment. The train is a feeding ground. The Conductor is a parasite that feasts on the kinetic energy of the crash, looping the tragedy night after night to digest the terror of the passengers.

To survive, Briggs must do the one thing his engineering mind forbids: introduce a catastrophic failure. With a girl named Maren as his only ally and a battery that shouldn't exist in 1974, Briggs has eighty-seven minutes to burn the engine down.

Safety is a lie. The only way out is through the wreckage.
