Hank's State: Worried

Hank's State: Worried will be the 5th episode of Scenes From A Sudrian Resturant.

Plot
When the winter season comes, Hank finds that his job, pulling fish trains from Brendam to Vicarstown, has been cancelled because of the harsh weather. When he does, he is told by the Fat Controller to sleep in the sheds at Crovan's Gate.

This makes Hank feel useless, especially when he is in the sheds for a week and a half. Finally, it stops snowing for enough time for him to talk to Thomas at the quarry. Thomas tells him about an engine he knew back in the old days. He tells him they didn't have names but they had numbers. Their numbers were 98462 and 87546.

With the engines in his thoughts, he goes back to the sheds and thinks for a while about being an engine on the Fat controllers railway. he remembers Hiro, the two nameless engines, Godred, the mountain engine culdee told him about, Smudger, and Jayden, all in slightly different ways.

He realizes quickly that all of those engines were either sent away, scrapped, or lost. He starts thinking that if he doesn't work, he would be sent away to his old railway.

In the morning, he asks his driver if his old railways still open. He informs Hank that it was closed back in the 1970. Stunned, he wonders about his old friends and what they were like. He also starts wondering about if he'll join the same fate as his friends: scrap.
