| A fierce wind was howling down from the north on this Wednesday morning shaking up everything in it's path. A windblown, dilapidated old school bus rattled down the highway toward oblivion it seemed, but not so.

To his surprise, the clattering bus with dangling fenders and broken windows swerved into his driveway, threatening to demolish the sidewall of the shop before it finally stopped, inches away. The skipbeat rhythm of the gasping engine stilled itself reluctantly, and the creaking side door scraped open. | |  "What's comin' down the road?" | © 1997 all rights reserved Chris Ray / ArtMetal |
