Chapter 8: Smashed!

Ok, this is what it’s like trying to go to the bathroom on a train. Ever tried walking down a moving hallway? Ah, I just LOVE getting smashed to the other side of the train. So then I spend about ten minutes hauling on the bathroom door trying to figure out how on earth you’re supposed to get it open, finally giving up and smashing my way back to our compartment.

“Vanya, I can’t figure out the bathroom. I give up.” I sit down to look at some evil snow queens.

Three minutes later Vanya returns to tell me I’m crazy and everything is about as simple as blinking. Yeah, turns out as I’m vehemently trying to brace myself against the wall and yank the door open, there’s one minor detail I’m missing. The door opens inward. Yeah, way to go genius. Don’t get smashed on the way back.
