Train, fault

Look up above,
starlight shadowed
by the flooding
city lights.

Stuck on a journey
to get back home,
from a place which for me,
is quite unknown.

Before i go on further,
question on my mind is,
why won't she have that little walk
else all these won't have happened.

Not a mere shake on the train,
heard a bang somewhere,
and we all stop
on the next available port.

All caught unaware,
till instructions came
and chased everyone out,
as staff ran across the train.

Apparently its a fire,
with the extinguishers in their hand,
nothing more was seen,
the burnt smell about to become a pain.

Now i recall,
the video that is always playing,
and talks about the worst scenario,
which we now try to avoid having.

For this moment i realized fear,
that if things were out of hand,
there's no getting out
of this basement in once piece.

So again i ask,
why didn't we take the walk?
