Bold, red, the London bus stood at the bus stop, as countless people streamed off into the day, with no thought for each other, just to get to their destination. One solitary figure hopped aboard, climbing the narrow steps to the top platform, where a seat awaited. What would the day bring? She didn’t like to think about it, just watch the wet streets glide by.
Time to get off and move on to the next stage of her life. With a quickening heart, she steps down onto the busy street and is gone in an instant, her story untold.
