31 Days of Drabbles Day 5

The Last Bus To Nowhere

Homeless and penniless and with no happy future to think of Rick decided to take the easy way out. He picked up a shard of broken glass from the street and carved ragged, shaky lines into his wrists.

As his head began to droop, bright lights blasted his body. Squinting, he looked up to see a bus sitting in front of him, the door open and the driver beckoning him inside.

Rick stepped onto the bus and plopped himself down. He looked at the gashes on his wrists, which had turned into a roadmap leading to a single destination: nowhere.
