the night bus

── .✦ [Hook inside the notice chapter]

── .✦ logline:
A time-rewinding bus gives a dead Solar Li-Garcia a second chance at life─but what a magical bus gives, can be taken away─and Sol must uncover the reason they're being held hostage, so they can go home to stop their satanic banana bread from burning the whole town down.

── .✦ blurb:
Running out into the street on a green light was not Solar Li-Garcia's brightest moment, but hey, at least the sentient bus that hit them is giving them a second chance at life...wait, go back─*what?!*

Before the time warp, they were baking the banana bread of their dreams─their dream for the past 2 weeks and a half, in fact. However, a few crucial ingredients were missing, so they had to run out to the store and...you know how it ends. It's a classic tale of a formerly sweet bread turned *satanic*.

Satanic banana breads don't make a mess─they mean *business.* They're skilled at weaponizing the kitchens of unsuspecting bakers, so of course Solar's home immediately turns into an active warzone between the neighbors and the bread.

If Solar doesn't figure out what the Night Bus wants from them, pretty soon there won't be a home to come back to. The whole town will be leveled to the ground at the crummy hands of a pyromaniac piece of shi─uh, I mean *bread.*
