Midnight train

At a train station, he waited to stand in the cold. The last train of the night was late and for once he was early. 

It was a bright night illuminated by the full moon in the middle of the sky, not even a cloud. 

Long trench coat and a hat that refused to fly away despite the strong winds. 

Half an hour passed and there was no train. He approached the ticket booth and knocked, but there was no one inside. 

He insisted on knocking a bit harder because the light was on but there was no sign of anyone. 

He got close to a bench to sit but it was wet from the rain earlier. 

As he moved away from the bench he noticed a man smoking on a bench close by. 

He looked at the clock tower and then at his watch. The time seemed right. 

He proved the man and asked if he knew about the train. " is always late" said the man smoking 

"Is it almost midnight" he ,said " any chance it'll be here before that?" He finished 

" don't know, but what's the rush? You're already late." Said the man
