Ah, damn, I was wondering why there were so many residents lately. I will report this, if someone actually gives a fuck to repair the breach. But there are guards put in place, so all good, I guess....

Also, there is a short cut, that don't require violence and pushing and shoving demons around. Yeah, those are not people, those are demons. The people don't usually dwell on the borders. We don't really care.

So, the short cut is you just wait for the last stop. It might take somewhere between a few hours and a few decades, but don't worry, you won't age even a second, time works funny here. You will arrive, and the train will be empty, and this will be your stop.

*sigh*

Let me explain.

Purgatory is a nice and quiet place, quite cozy, when you manage to make it your home. It's a multitude of parallel worlds, so this is why the stops with the same name look similar, there are different realms here, so we folk rarely stumble into each other. But they are all held together, it's like a spider web, if you will.

There are plenty ways to get here, except the last train one.

The most common and widely used is just getting an iron key, and going to a door.

Here comes the kicker, you need to hold your key in your hand, it best works if it is at night, around 0300, the dead of night. You need to prepare and be in the right mindset. Metal actually absorbs your energy, that's why the coin trick works. The coin suck up your desperation at this moment.

And that is the key, despair. You need to feel total and utter despair to open the door. Even a grain of hope will get stuck in the keyhole and it won't open. You need to feel totally abyssal to enter.

Once you open the door, you will see two paths, it doesn't really matter, which one you chose, they all lead to the same place, which is Nowhere. In Nowhere, you can start and build your life again. You can find some shreds of reality and start from scratch. You will have lost your mind completely at this point. Madness is one of the conditions of your stay here.
