He probably needed to reach his destination more than anyone else on the bus, yet he lacked the capacity to ride without getting kicked off. Maybe he reached the hospital eventually, and maybe he was connected with social workers and housing specialists who will help him transform his life. But I fear he got on another bus, and another bus after that, without going anywhere at all.","author":"Susan Nielsen","tags":["bus","going-nowhere","healthcare","hospital","mental-illness","mentally-ill"],"id":19424,"author_id":"Susan+Nielsen"},{"text":"I’d begun to think of the Immortality Bus as the Entropy Bus, and of ourselves as trundling across Texas in a great mobile metaphor for the inevitable decline of all things, the disintegration of all systems over time.","author":"Mark O'Connell","tags":["bus","entropy","immortality","metaphor","texas","transhumanism"],"id":49847,"author_id":"Mark+O%27Connell"},{"text":"She had a new secret, the strenght of the moon, looking at her.","author":"Susan Engberg","tags":["bus","coming-of-age-stories","moon","moonlight","on-the-late-bus","out-in-the-world","short-stories","short-story","susan-engberg"],"id":57519,"author_id":"Susan+Engberg"},{"text":"Why ships won't use roads, is why cars won't travel on oceans.

Well, I can get off right now if I want to, because even if I ride fifty more years and get off then, it’s the same place when I step down to it. Whenever I feel like it, I can get off.
