Tales Told on Bus Rides Past

1+ intro

Just a note, the paragraphs are divided by who told them, we basically just have one person start, and then we take turns sharing what happens next.

Each part is a different story someone randomly starts, and we all make it up together. Each part is an unrelated tale that may or may not make sense, include minor violence and a random Bogalius. Please proceed and enjoy!!!!

I sat quietly on the bus, Batcat and Bogalius sat across from me. We all were excited for the weekend, the second weekend of the school year, but who was counting? It was a relatively normal bus ride, quiet, except the rattle of the bus speeding down the highway. Suddenly, the windows were covered by dark metal blinds. The bus was fairly full, most of the seats were occupied. Several people started muttering and murmuring, bringing sound to the otherwise silent bus.

The bus stopped, quickly and violently, causing a couple people to fall out of their seats. Several people began rapidly tap at their phones, but there was no service, I could tell because those people began yelling at their phones. The bus plunged downward, and continued down a seemingly endless road we could not see. I cast an anxious glance at Batcat and Bogalius, they had the same worry in their eyes. There were no hills anywhere near where we lived, except Gatineau Park, but that was still rather far.

The bus finally levelled out and came to an agonizingly slow stop with the earsplitting screech of the brakes. The blinds on the windows stayed shut, but the three sets of doors opened. Batcat eagerly bounced up and snuck over to the door, ready to find out what was going on. Bogalius and I quickly followed, though I was a bit hesitant, what is happening here? A vent in the bus started spraying an orange gas, and Batcat was pushed aside when people in gas masks came in. I covered my face with my blue sweater, but it was of no use. My vision blurred and my head hitting the glass of the window was the last thing I heard.

I woke up in a grey room. On an ugly grey mattress that looked ages old. Lifting my light head, I could see other people on more of the mats in long rows. To my left was Bogalius, her green eyes staring blankly at the dimly lit grey wall. She had an IV tube in her arm, I noticed I did to, same as everyone else. When she noticed I was conscious, she mouthed, "Where are we?" I shook my head, it definitely was not a hospital.

I heard someone yelp in a squeak of pain. I turn my head to see Batcat being held down more of those people in the suits. One of them snapped a metal collar around her neck. The people then turned to me. Batcat tried desperately to pull it off, but it was no use, and I was next. The collar had spikes on it that gripped my neck tight, and a blinking red light.

When they were done with me, they just kinda left, to go an do the same to the other people. I pulled the IV thingy off and went to Batcat, Bogalis followed. "What the hell is this!" Batcat shouted. No one answered, not even the people in the suits. For whatever reason I began walking forward. The same happened to everyone in the room, until we were al, in a line side by side. Luckily I was with Bogalius and Batcat. We all turned to a door and began walking the straightest line I've ever seen people walk in, then again, I'm in high school.

We came to a room with two other doors. One said Canada, the other said World. Half of the passengers took Canada, Me, my friends, and the other half were forced to go to the room that said world. I wanted to run, or at least talk to my friends, but I could barely even move my eyes. Inside the room were so many screens, thousands upon thousands. People sat watching monitors, I noticed a green glow beneath their shirt collars.

At the farthest corner of the room were skeletons, some still had rotten flesh clinging limply to the skeletal corpse. Their fingers still typed at the dust keyboard, their skulls tilted at an empty, hopeless angle. I want to go home! I shrieked, but my mouth didn't even budge. I sat was forced to sit at a monitor next to Bogalius, which wasn't so bad, but she was seated next to a young boy with cobwebs in his hair, and eyes glued to the screen.

Through the corner of my eye, I saw one man walking around, there was no green glow from under his shirt collar. He must be in charge. Looking back at the monitor in front of me, and the screens all over the walls. There were many people on the screens, on in particular caught my eye. There was Donald Trash on one, and if you looked real close, there was a steady green light under his shirt collar. On another screen, I saw Mr. Trudeau, who in fact, did not have the collar. But on his screen were the words: To be recruited.

Looking back to my screen, I saw that somehow, I had hacked into some military system. My fingers were moving around the keyboard, I didn't even notice until now. Suddenly, an image popped up with a missile. Please enter coordinates. It said.

I typed my hometown. What! No, I don't think so. I'd really rather not- just as I was about to push 'launch' someone was shaking my shoulder. I looked up to see Batcat. She must have taken her collar off... I realized we were still on the bus. "What?" I asked. "Try not to fall asleep on the bus again, this is my stop." She said. With a schreech, the bus halted and Batcat slipped on her backpack and held her binder in one hand and her presto card in the other. "See you at my birthday party!" She said. She waved a thanks to the driver and hopped off.

Batcat: so, yeah, that's the first random thing we came up with.
Bogalius: but wait! There's more...
 
I was going to take a book out of my bag to read, but my eyes met the driver's in the mirror. He smiled, so I did too. In the mirror, I saw a reflection of him, and I noticed that there was a blinking red light under his shirt collar.

There, now it's done.

Batcat: but I had a nice ending.

Bogalius: yes, but mine has a cliffhanger that.. Is there.

Shadowprovo: I would probably just get off at the next stop if that happened.

Bogalius: if you had the chance.

Batcat: anyway, thanks for reading and look out for Monday's story. Yeah. Okay. I've run out thing to say. Or stall. I don't know. I will now end this part. Yep. Ending it now.

Bogalius: silence will fall when the question is asked.

Shadow.p. : what quest-

Batcat: DOCTOR----------------

The end. Batcat was shot and then run over by a bus, because she was going to ask the question. If you know what I'm talking about, then good for you you fabulous nerd, you.
