Last in Line
‘Push me again buddy, see what happens.’
‘Hey I’m not your buddy.’
‘You wanna go?’
A fight broke out at the front of the line. Merv backed away. A shoe flew into the air and landed behind him.
‘Things are starting to fall apart,’ he said.
Lou nodded. ‘Maybe there’s another bus?’
Merv shook his head.
A blood curdling scream exploded. Everyone turned to see a woman being dragged away. ‘It’s too late, they’re already here.’ Merv grabbed Lou’s hand and they raced to a nearby store.
Hiding behind the counter, they watched as the monsters ripped the crowd apart.

That didn’t go the way I was expecting… I don’t suppose they will survive long either.

As we always told our kids when camping out, “We don’t have to run faster than the bears, we just have to run faster than you.” I wonder why they’re both in therapy.

Lol! That’s awesome, I’m going to have to remember that. As a good friend of mine says, some parents save for their kids college, she saves for their therapy. I’m working on my children’s therapy fund as we speak 😉

Didn’t expect that ending either. I’m sure the bus driver shut the door and hauled out of there leaving the others to their fate.

Monsters are everywhere. A little stress, a bit of a crowd, having to wait in a queue, and watch them appear. Very enjoyable story.
