It Could Be Anything

It Could Be Anything

by Keith Laumer

In 'It Could Be Anything,' a young man, longing for adventure and seeking to break free from his mundane rural existence, embarks on a train journey to explore the world beyond his small town. He falls asleep on the train, only to awaken alone, finding the train cars deserted and the tracks abruptly terminating in a field of grain. The engine is gone. He is left bewildered and grappling with the realization that his perceived reality might be an illusion. This unexpected event throws him into a surreal and unsettling world where the boundaries between his own perception and actual reality blur. His journey becomes one of self-discovery, questioning the nature of existence, and seeking answers to the enigmatic events that have unfolded around him.
