Summary: Sometimes commuting can take forever. Response to
supernatural100 challenge #136 destination.
The midnight bus always has the same people on it. The emaciated driver, the young couple making out, the pimpled fast-food drone, the overweight security guard. Maria doesn't know them and doesn't want to. She just wants to get home to Anna, her little girl.
Two strangers board the bus. That hasn't happened in longer than Maria can remember.
They're talking to the other passengers. When they get to Maria, they show her a picture of Anna, except Anna has a husband and three kids. The youngest is named Maria.
After the strangers leave, the bus finally reaches its destination.
