PHANTOM RAILWAY
IT'S OUT!
First chapter is finally up! Or rather, the prologue.
I'm hoping it's at least a little enjoyable! I plan to really set things in motion in the following chapter and set the basis. I'm very new to this sort of thing, but hopefully it's good.
The train (the chapter) has left (has been written) the station (and published), and hopefully it stays on the tracks.
Introducing, Professor Layton and the Phantom Railway.
This is an Alternate Universe set in a 1930s-esque environment during a financial depression that rakes its ugly claws throughout the world. Hershel Layton is an ex-professor, having had everything ripped from him 7 years ago after an accident that leaves him homeless. He is forced to jump freights and travel relentlessly with the Government, Targent, and a strange assassin on his tail.
Luke Triton is a boy from Misthallery, weary and worn-down from the issues brought on by the depression. When everything he knows is destroyed by money-starved Targent, he runs from what was once his home and hops into a boxcar, quietly joining the company of a then-sleeping man as the train rattles along the rails.
Everything changes when the train is derailed and the two learn of the mysterious Phantom Railway.
Enjoy, Layton Nation!
