Short Scary Stories

It's the Next Stop

Bill started his shift for the bus route 31, on the night shift. It was chilly that day and not many passengers were getting on his route. Later on until the end of his shift it started to sprinkle. Turning on his windshield wipers, he sawhis next bus stop ahead.

Noticing an old lady drenched in water, he sped up to where she was standing. The woman smiled up at him, while she was slowly getting on the train.

A Passenger yells in the back, "Hurry up man, I need to go to work!" The bus driver responds, "Calm down! Don't you got respect?" Bill closes the doors of the bus and keeps on driving.

He looks up into his rear view mirror. A teenage kid, the man, and the old woman are left. Suddenly the man starts yelling, "Aw c'mon!" He starts to jump up and walk toward the middle door. "Lady you stink like a sewer! Uggg!"

Bill sighs looking up into the rear view mirror, "Calm down! Isn't this your next stop?" He looks down at the road to the next bus stop. Going slowly to a stop, he opens the door for the man to get out. Hearing nothing, he looks up into the rear view mirror. The man is gone.

Closing the doors, no one else comes on. Nine stops are passed and the string is pulled. Looking up in the rear view mirror. He sees the teen getting up from his seat. Looking all hyped up with the headphones up on full blast.

He sees the stop and comes to a halt. Opening the doors once more for the boy to get off. But, no noises were heard. Looking up in the rearview mirror, he sees the boy gone without a sound.

Closing the doors once more, he starts to pull off. Bill looks at his watch, that shows he was off in fifteen minutes. He looks up in the rear view mirror. The old lady smiling near the front. Looking out into the dark window. "Ma'am"

She turns her head and gives him a pondering look. "The next stop is the last one." She just gives him a nod and goes back to watching the window. One of the nicest people I had so far on this shift. Hope she has somewhere warm to sleep tonight.

Minute's later bill sees the last bus stop. The string is pulled as a sign to get off. Bill veers into the bus station under a cracked light. Opening the doors to the final stop. He hears nothing. He looks into his rear view mirror to see the woman off.

Looking up into the rearview mirror. Bill sees sullen eyes, filled with blood dripping from a swollen face. It smiled with its dry cracked lips. The figure suddenly lunges from the rearview mirror and swallows his head whole.

The police came on the site being called a few moments later. The body of the bus driver was found in his seat, with his head taken clean off. As if a katana had cut his body. The bodies of the old man and teen were found crumpled under the seats of the bus. The heads were also dismembered and sucked dry.

Looking up the surveillance of the bus cameras. They became static once the bus driver started the ignition.
