You see a hand-operated railroad switch consisting of a lever, a brightly painted switch signal, and a switch stand. It is connected to a pull rod on the tracks. There is also a remotely controlled switch machine nearby; it appears this manual switch was left in for redundancy. A black and white sign nearby says DO NOT TOUCH.

The train is close enough that you could reach out and touch it, but that would be dangerous.

What do you do? _

Touch the train

You reach out totl touch the train. The metal siding of the train is cold and smooth, and the bright, saturated reds and blues painted along it remind you of a cartoon. There is an advertisement for a local law firm speeding past you too quickly to read.

A fifth of a second later, your ring fingertip is caught on the edge of a metal panel and sheared off.

Your finger is bleeding. What do you do? _

You scream, waving your hands over your head in a frantic dance. You fling blood droplets everywhere.

What do you do? _
