"Oh fuck, did I miss that signal, was it clear or stop?? What do I do? If I break it'll take at least 10 minutes to stop... Can I save myself by leaving the locomotive? What of the opposing train? Do I want to live through that? ... ... At least I'll lose my job ... and live as a hated person for the rest of my life ... I think I'll stay here. ... ... ... ... ..." End

subspecies theme continued
Fiction:
"Now, as Homo s. fossilicus has scored a great Pyrrhic victory over us, and condemned our both subspecies to deteriorating conditions, it's time to examine how this happened and why many of us were also seduced by their propaganda. Also it is time to find out what were the good parts of their culture, and the things possibly applicable to the future culture that will, by the force of nature, incorporate the remaining individuals in our collective Homo subspecies after we have figured out how to live in the projected severely damaged world."
