A SUDDEN THUNDER WENT INSIDE MY SPINAL CHORD.IT WAS GOOD THAT I WAS SITTING OTHERWISE THERE WAS A STRONG CHANCE THAT I WAS GOING TO BE SENSELESS,DOWN AND OUT.BUT SOMEHOW THAT GREENISH EYE WAS ORDERING ME NOT TO LOOSE MY SENSE.BUT BELIEVE ME,IT WAS SCARY,VERY SCARY.AND I WAS SCARED.BUT SOMEHOY THAT MAN REALISEED MY FEAR.’HEY,DON’T NEED TO GET AFRAID.I AM HERE TO TALK WITH YOU.NOT TO HARM YOU.I DON’T HARM ANYONE’.HIS VOICE WAS UNCANNY A BIT GHOSTLY.BUT THERE WAS A BELIEVE IN THE VOICE.I LOOKED AROUN THE BUS.THE BUS WAS NEITHER RUNNING NOR STOPPED.IT WAS LIKE  FLOATING LIKE A BOAT.AND EVERYONE INSIDE THE BUS,INCLUDING THE CONDUCTOR WAS ASLEEP”’THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DISTURB US”,AGAIN THAT GHOSTLY VOICE.THE FIRST WORD CAME OUT FROM BY MOUTH,”WHO’S DRIVING?” AS I HAD A STRONG FEELING THAT THE DRIVER WAS ALSO NOT IN A CONDITION TO DRIVE.’A FRIEND OF MINE IS’HE REPLIED.AND DON’T WORRY,I AM JUST HERE TO TALK.

‘TALK?ABOUT WHAT?’IWAS GETTING MY NERVES BACK.

’ABOUT A JOB’MAN REPLIED.

INSIDE A GHOSTLY BUS WHERE EVERYONE IS SLEEPING A GHOSTLY MAN WITH GREENISH EYES WAS OFFERING ME A JOB.NOW IT WAS MORE CONFUSING THAN SCARY.’WHAT THE..’I CONTROLLED MY MOUTH.’IS IT SOME KIND OF A JOKE,OR A GAME SHOW?’ A WAS GETTING MY VOICE BACK TOO.
