Cheap Gothic Soap Opera, Part 78

Sturgy was staring out the window. Everything was strange, so strange, so cold. Suddenly, a man rushed into the train car and sat down next to her.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I'm sorry miss," he said smiling.
Happy music began to play.
"I'm not usually in the habit of dropping in unannounced, but I almost missed the train. I just realized that I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Buck-"

"What did you say your name was?" Sturgy asked again.
"My name is Buck Satlin. I just said that. Did you not hear me?"
"No. The opening credits were too loud."
"What?"
"Oh. Nevermind." He must never know her terrible secret, that she could randomly hear the opening credits to her life being played at non-dramatic moments. "What are you doing in Port Townsport?"
"Oh. Nothing. Just visiting. I used to live here actually."
"Nothing? Then why does that file you're holding have 'Buck Satlin's Plan To Take Complete Revenge on the Entire Woodson Family when he comes back to Port Townsport on the Same Train that Sturgy Parentless is riding on'?"
"Oh, that nothing," Buck said nervously, stuffing the file in his shoe with a grimace, "So you mentioned the Woodsons. You wouldn't happen to know anything about them, would you?"
"Not really. I've come here to serve as a governess for the Woodson child, Davidson is his name, but I don't know anything about them-" Buck had unbuttoned his overcoat. "What happened to your face? Why is it that shape?"
"You wanna know why my face is the way it is? 10 years ago Richard Woodson (Ricki we used to call him, to emasculate him) trapped my head in a cube. I stayed there for 6 years, until I managed to break free, but the experience changed me forever................................................"
The train stopped.
".................................................................................."
Sturgy went to the dining car to have some dinner.
"............................................................................................................"
Sturgy read War and Peace.
"....................................................................................................................
.....................................................................................................................................
............................................................................................................................................
.....................................................................................................................................................
.............................But that's old news. As I said, I'm just here to see the sights."
"Oh. Ok."
"Next stop Port Townsport!" shouted the conductor into Sturgy's ear.
"Well. Looks like we're both getting off here. I can give you a ride into town," Buck said, his face cracking into a leathery smile, "We can discuss the sights....and my revenge. And the sights. Only the sights."
"Oh. Thanks again."
The train stopped and they both walked onto the platform. Eerily
