Lonely Drive

The late bus transmitter was down to its last on the road for the night was slowly growing later, the sky above becoming darker and darker till almost the entire world went dark. The only lights that existed in the world were the bus highlights and the few fading streetlights the city had to offer, but even then those lights were fading into the endless void of the night, leaving behind only a lonely bus to forever wander the lonesome dirt roads of the more lonely side of the city.
