The Wrong Bus
When Ethan boards a late-night bus with no driver, he thinks it's just automation. He's wrong.
Route 12 shouldn't be running. The last bus left an hour ago. But when Ethan misses his ride home after play rehearsal, a bus pulls up at midnight, doors open, engine running, driver's seat empty.
What starts as a strange ride home becomes a nightmare journey through stops that shouldn't exist, picking up passengers who can't be alive, heading toward a destination called Terminus. Each stop brings new a businessman who vanishes into darkness, a mother holding a child who never breathes, ghost passengers who've been riding for decades.
Ethan discovers he's trapped on a bus that collects the lost and lonely, people who boarded at the wrong time, in the wrong state of mind, and never made it home. The bus has been running this route since 1952, driven by a man whose spine is fused to the steering column, still conscious after seventy years of suffering.
To escape, Ethan must ride to the final stop. But Terminus isn't just the end of the line, it's the place where everyone must find peace in death, or fight their way back to life.
Even after escaping, Ethan realizes the horror isn't over. The bus evolved. Now it offers something more seductive than a door, a choice, a reunion with everyone you've lost. And as Ethan loses his own family to Terminus, he must answer the hardest question of
Is it merciful to let people go? Or is staying, despite the pain, what makes us human?
Perfect for fans of modern psychological horror, and stories that blur the line between supernatural terror and raw human emotion. The Wrong Bus is a haunting journey about grief, mental health, and the daily choice to keep living, even when escape seems easier.
Content Themes of death, grief, and suicide. Intended for mature readers.
