The sky was blue for the first time in days, but the bus still smelled like unwashed bodies and despair.

Soda and Candy said...: Aww, thanks Tennyson! I'm glad I didn't freak anyone out with such a random different style of post, but then I think my style is all over the shop anyway.

rachaelgking said...: I'm pretty sure "bus" is synonymous with "stench of unwashed bodies", actually... did you at least have WiFi? WiFi makes everything okay...; August 8, 2009 at 5:37 PM
