Driver

I was riding BART. The train was full of people wearing masks. Suddenly the train was speeding, going off the rails. The conductor told us that we all needed to get on top of the train to stay safe. We all blindly obeyed. When we did get on top of the speeding train, I got hurt. I was angry about it more than anything. When the train stopped and we all got off, I was far from home. I realized that since I didn't have my car with me and couldn't walk, I would have to take an Uber. I got in the Uber and realized that I suddenly wasn't wearing a mask and neither was the driver. I panicked. Suddenly, there were two more people crammed in the Uber with me, both not wearing masks. I pulled my shirt up around my face to breathe through.
