I boarded that train for content for my AlphaTube channel. I disembarked with four hockey players who refuse to let me go. Two days on the Coast Starlight. Scenic views. Great footage for my travel channel. Then my heat hit somewhere between LA and Seattle. No suppressants strong enough. No escape from the narrow corridors. And one alpha in the observation car whose scent makes me forget my own name… and then tells me his pack is boarding at the next stop.

Once upon a time, humans walked. This was considered acceptable. Then someone ran, someone else added wheels, another person strapped an engine to it, and before anyone could ask whether this was a good idea, we had invented traffic, timetables, delays, congestion, missed connections, and the unshakable belief that everyone else is doing transport wrong.

From feet (slow, honest, and ...
