Tales From the Blue Line - The Frequent Flyer

At Midway Airport, a gate agent who finds comfort in the familiar discovers that her most punctual passenger has been flying to a ghost town for fifty years on a flight that shouldn't exist.


Tales From The Blue Line: Every morning at three, Mason and Ally ride the Blue Line into downtown Chicago together. The train brings out its own brand of weird, which has led to Mason and Ally trading spooky stories to help their commute pass a little faster.
