A mysterious train unexpectedly arrives out of nowhere, completely silent, in the middle of a cold autumn night.
Manuel, who was waiting for a rail, beckons its call and boards, sending him through an ordeal of godlike proportions inside the train, where in order to exit, he must face his past, and himself.
"Looking inward" asks questions one might not necessarily want to face through a series of otherworldly situations and a bizarre cast of characters, with the goal of aiding personal growth and creating a sense of self.
Will Manuel manage to make it out of the rail? Or will he fail to face himself, perpetuating his stay?
André Cândido was born in Portugal and grew up in Germany. Ever since he first began as a child, he found joy in expressing himself with writing, be it short stories, poems or song lyrics. He is an introvert who spends way too much time reading and writing fantasy stories and worldbuilding by himself, and should definitely try to connect with more people through his work. Unfortunately, he finds it rather hard, so "Looking inward" is his first attempt at doing so. The shortstory deals with heavy topics, such as familial relations, abuse, belief and strength of character, along with personal conviction and self-improvement, topics that became particularly important to him throughout his life.
