The steady rhythm of the train lulled Marcus into a near-sleep. The countryside whizzed by, a blur of green and brown. He'd been working on a new song, letting the melody and lyrics flow effortlessly.

Marcus opened his eyes. The woman across from him was pointing at the notebook in his lap. He looked down; it was the exact same chord progression and lyrics to the song he was working on.

He simply offered a slight shrug, a smile playing at his lips. "It appears so," he said, his voice calm.
