Destination

The crowded bus sucked up the road under its front wheels and sent it backwards at breakneck speed, while the scenarios, beautifully and varied, was presented through the side windows in a leisurely pace.

The weather was beautiful, and landscapes showed their very best sides. The scattered houses and the fused buildings in the towns were picturesque and endearing.

At each bus stop some passengers left the bus. No one was entering again, so little by little it was depopulated. It was interesting to guess why the various passengers stood of exactly where they did.

The bus was on its way out in no man’s land with nothing in sight. Everything seemingly melting together, as shrouded in a boundless, invisible fog. Also the beautiful shiny star on the sky being subject to quite some attention during the trip had disappeared. This felt to be the end of the world. The driver turned off the engine and jumped off the bus long before it finally stopped, enclosed by total silence.

Here I jumped.
