points View December 2008 competition winner Congratulations to Mrs I Auckland of Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire, who has won a two-night break for two at Homewood Park Hotel near Bath. Correction – short story The Ghost Train January 2009 O ur apologies to readers and author Gill Richards for the technical glitch that corrupted the text of the short story The Ghost Train in the January issue of View, and thanks to those readers who wrote or emailed to ask what had happened. A few wondered whether, in-keeping with the theme of the story, it was a double-bluff. Alas, no. We have put the correct version of the story on our website (www.viewmagazines.co.uk) and the missing paragraphs are published in full below. Please accept our apologies for keeping you in suspense: The Ghost Train… The train began its journey past the ‘station’ - always a hair-raising moment. As the noise reached its crescendo the piercing whistle started (remember, this was pressurised air into the biscuit tin) but it didn’t stop. A woman rose from the front row, let out an almighty scream and dropped into a dead faint on the floor. The curtains closed, the hall lights went on and she was carried away. The hall was agog. For the rest of the show everyone in the audience was on the edge of their seats for the next drama. After the curtain calls, which were many that night, the usual invitation was made and parties of people watched as the sound effects were performed. The final party watched as the canister was demonstrated. There was a huge whoosh, then silence. The canister had run out. They turned as one to watch as the tripod was whirled round past the light to make the flickering train lights. The perforated screen toppled sideways and smashed the bulb. They stood in a line as the roller was drawn across the wooden laths. As it moved across the blocks, each of the wooden sections sprang from the stage, flying in all directions. The lads drawing the roller were hell bent on reaching the other end, they didn’t hear the shocked cries as the lethal inch-thick wooden laths flew in all directions. One woman put out her hand to avoid the hail of sticks, put her fist straight through the tambourine and the peas rolled all over the stage and into the hall. Had The Ghost Train hit the buffers? We’d had three rehearsals a week with three appearances of the ‘train’ in each. Demos after the show took three more. Why did it take over 50 rolls before that final performance, that final whoosh of steam, that final whirl of the screen in front of the ‘train’ lights and that final nail to hold?
