description
Verne Haskel, tired and devastated from work, come home. He almost immediately talks to his wife about moving to another. He shows indifference to dinner, but refuses to eat out because he is sick of seeing people. He goes down to the basement to play with his train set. Despite wanting to move out of Woodland, he has used a model train set to create a precise replica of the town. He has been working on it since he was a child. He created copies of every store, every house, every detail down to the messages on the signs.He watches the train go around the track. Ever since he was young he loved the train set. By adding to the set day by day and year by year he had built you his copy of the town. It is now almost complete. He takes special notice of Larson’s Pump and Valve Works, which was where he worked for 20 years. For those twenty years he build up resentments over the promotions of younger workers and answering to his boss and yes-men. In fact, he hated every aspect of the town, resenting even his wife. It was an upper-middle class town that always got the better of him. In a fit of anger he takes the model of Larson’s Pump and Valve Works and smashes it. He then quickly constructs a model of another building and calls is Woodland Mortuary, replacing his workplace in the model.
