The Squall of Disgrace

It started with a bad burrito and a low rumble in his gut. Jeremy, a twenty-something with a talent for blending in, thought he could just ride it out on the bus home. He was wrong.
In a humid, suffocating bus filled with strangers, a sudden, violent illness unleashes itself. What begins as a desperate fight to maintain his dignity spirals into a grotesque public failure, a one-two punch of vomit and a humiliating, uncontrollable deluge in his shorts.
Now, soiled and stinking, he must face the silent judgment of his fellow passengers and navigate the long walk home, a monument to his own spectacular disgrace. The city streets have never felt so long, and his tiny apartment has never seemed so far away.
This is a story of vulnerability, public humiliation, and the long, agonizing march to escape the wreckage of a single, terrible moment.
