Reggie was a bus driver, or had been before the dead people.
He had a good idea to keep his bus because it was big and hard to get into unless he opened the doors.
The windows were gun proof and they seemed to be dead person proof too.
So Reggie kept the bus.
He would drive around and help save people who weren't dead from people that were.
It was just like his old job but instead of stopping at the bright blue bus stop signs, he'd stop where there were people in trouble.
Also he was now allowed to run people over with his bus.
Dead people.
He was allowed to run over dead people.
One day he helped a lady who was bitten by a dead person, but Reggie didn't know that or else he wouldn't have let her on.
Obviously.
He thought the lady had fallen asleep and when she woke up he didn't know she was dead until she bit him right on the arm.
He screamed at her and punched her and punched her until she stopped moving for good.
He stopped the bus at the next corner and kicked the dead dead person out.
He kept driving, wondering why his arm felt so cold and so hot.
He remembered his friend, Sal, talking to him right before his first day.
"You'll do great, Reg. You'll do great. You can do this and you know you can!"
He then gave Reggie a big hug and Reggie cried, but just a little.
And Reggie did do a great job, at least that's what his Boss, Mr. Roger, said.
And some people called him names like "Slowpoke" and "Retard" and "Faggot" when he opened the door to the bus and smiled and welcomed them on, but that was okay, he didn't care.
He was doing great.
But now he wasn't.
His eyes hurt and his head hurt.
But his arm didn't hurt.
So that was okay.
Now he felt more sleepy than hurt.
When it was before the dead people, he'd have to drive the bus for six whole hours before he got to go home and sleep, but now he was in charge of the bus, so he could just pull over and take a nap.
No dead people would get in if he kept the doors closed so that was okay.
He turned on his blinking "trouble lights" and slowed the bus down.
He looked around the empty and saw no people dead or alive.
He was safe.
He would take a nap and then get something to eat.
