In the middle of nowhere

The playlist in my headphones has long ended. I slowly float back from the blurry trance I was in.

I look out the window. It’s pitch black. Nothing but the road, and the moon in the distance.

I notice the bus slowing down and taking a detour. Eventually, it stops by a gas station.

Break time.

I check my side window again. We are in the middle of nowhere, and it’s not a bad feeling.
