Adventure
Chapter 2 of Memoirs of the In-Between
When you’re alive, you have no idea what happens to you when you die. It was one of my many thoughts and regrets. I always wondered what happened to a person when they died. I sent so many people to their afterlives, that it seemed like a fair question. I had no idea what I believed, and to be frank I was scared to think too deeply about it. Only when my worst guilt, fresh after a job well done, did I dare to venture into that dark corner of my mind. I eventually convinced myself that nothing happened. There was no heaven, there were no gods, there was nothing but a deep dark sleep that you never wake up from.

"The Promising but Pricey World of Maglev Trains"
Introduction: Nestled deep within a Japanese mountain pass lies one of the world's most advanced and rarest transportation technologies: a 43-kilometer-long magnetic levitation (Maglev) train track. This cutting-edge track is poised to be part of the world's first inter-city Maglev train, connecting the bustling metropolises of Tokyo and Osaka. With the mesmerizing power of superconducting magnets, these Maglev trains defy gravity, hovering just 10 centimeters above the track, all while hurtling along at a breathtaking speed of 500 kilometers per hour. What sets them apart is their unique levitation mechanism, which eliminates physical contact with the track, enabling operation in any weather condition and significantly reducing maintenance costs due to minimal friction and fewer moving parts. Despite the remarkable advantages offered by Maglev trains over traditional high-speed trains, the commercial deployment of these magnetic marvels remains limited, with only one operational high-speed Maglev line, spanning 30 kilometers, connecting Shanghai Airport to the city. The discrepancy between the promise of Maglev technology and its real-world application raises intriguing questions. Why does a technology that seems poised to revolutionize transportation face such restricted implementation? In this article, we will explore how Maglev trains work, delve into the reasons behind their constrained deployment, and investigate the economic challenges they confront.

Prologue A wild spring storm is brewing. Icy wind gusts chase restless rain in half of the sky and presage more than mere echoes of thunder and a deluge. I will keep my family safe. Turning away from the window, I glimpse furrowed brows over worried green eyes, and an overgrown beard, in an old mirror on the study wall. Exiling my reflection with a nod, I gaze again at twilight beyond my window.
