The train rumbled, a metal beast shaking the carriage. The screeching brakes and the rhythmic clack of the rails grated on Elena's ears. She felt a burning sensation behind her eyes. Everything was a constant assault on her senses.

She wanted to rip the headphones off her head. She wanted to scream. She wanted the noise to stop.

She slammed her fist against the window, not caring about the startled reactions of the other passengers.

A woman across the aisle, clutching a newspaper, was staring at her. She had a similar look: the tight jaw, the clenched fists.

The woman slowly lowered the paper. "Excuse me," she said, her voice strained. "Are you… are you also…?"

"The one with the cursed blood?" Elena spat.

The other woman nodded, her eyes welling with tears.
