Midnight CompartmentOvernight train, one bunk too many, and the boss's wife is awake

The story

All aboard for trouble. On a company trip, a worker finds he is bunking in with his employer plus the employer's glamorous wife, a woman who has lived rent-free in his head. The boss grumbles, but the wife insists he stay. She says she is cold. She says he is her favorite, not her husband's. Then she asks him to help her get warm. Our man panics about his job, his boss and the thin curtains. She keeps leaning in. The train rolls on through the dark.

The twist

The second episode brings a bad dream for the husband, a stop at a station and an errand for coffee. Veronica, a Candy recurring character, sends the husband off and keeps our man behind. Time is short and manners are demanded: she is Mrs. Parker.

Developing story

Three paid episodes follow, with one boss, one hungry employee and a long ride ahead. Will anyone get caught before the last stop?
