I discovered this new writing challenge this week. It’s intriguing, in that it centers around the same general theme every time, but, at the same time, allows for enormous variety. Some of you might want to check it out. It’s scheduled to renew each Sunday. I’m going to try to participate as often as I can.
That’s right! Send in your short stories, poems, photos, songs, and various mass transportation thoughts that begin with the words “As I sat on the bus…”
I myself like to write on the bus, so I expect to knock off one of these guys every week or so. Meanwhile send in your ‘As I sat on the bus’, or ‘As I was sitting on the bus that afternoon’, or ‘As Monsigneour d’ Escallion sat on the autobus d’un apres midi’ stories to Bumbastories – attached as links in the comments section below. Good luck!
And here is my entry: A poem 
As I sat on the bus
The world went by
Time raced with the sun
Eastward we flew
Around the sun
Around the Milky Way
Flying, hurtling, spinning through space-time
As the bus neared La Brea Boulevard
