There's a Shark in the Bath

Titus is going on a long train journey. Under the watchful eye of the 
train guard he takes his seat and, until he arrives at his destination 
where Uncle Henry is waiting to meet him, he doesn't leave it. Or does 
he? Is it the curly moustache of a fellow passenger that is the impetus 
for Titus' fisticuff fight with bandits on the train roof? Or the sharp 
metallic teeth of the guard's ticket-puncher that propels him into a 
dangerous tunnel encounter with a T-rex? Is it the fact that the train 
makes a routine stop on a viaduct that sends Titus spinning into a 
daredevil parachute jump to find a mechanic and fix the stricken engine?
  Or is it the announcement that 'Boulder City' is the next stop that 
creates an avalanche of activity where Titus saves the train from a 
catastrophic collision with falling rocks? Readers will be swept along 
by these acts of derring-do and will be left wondering whether they 
really did happen or whether they're all part of the wild parallel universe that is Titus's imagination.
