Dirt

The bus that came abruptly stopped right in front of the boy and a long haired girl stepped off the bus to adjust her belongings and the boy boarded and she boarded after the boy. The girls name was not yet known, but she sat across from the boy on the bus and both of them stared out their windows and watched the forest pass by. As was said though, this was no ordinary bus and soon the bus started sinking into the earth until soil was at the windows and the forest and the trees disappeared from view and the bus burrowed through the soil at such high speeds that the girls hair swished across the girls face many times making her make many adjustments with her hands to keep her eyes visible. Above the ground it was silent. `` You know where we are going?`` the boy asked the girl. The girl replied ``no`` The town of Zinal lay on the edge of the forest, but this was no ordinary forest as you may be gathering and the bus slowly was gathering speed getting closer to Zinal every moment of every second. ``What is your name`` the boy asked the girl and the girl replied ``Dirree`` ``and what is your name`` the girl asked the boy. ``my name is Dover`` In his lap the boy clutched a book and on the book were stars and the stars moved constantly zig-zaging and hopping and jumping. The book was a frenzy of movement, although it stood still clasped in the boys hand. The girl looked at the book clutched in the boys hands and the boy saw her gaze and saw her question and replied ``aw for training`` and the girl smiled. The bus ripped through the ground at such high speeds that it turned yellow like the sun and glowed and sped up to go even faster. The boy and the girl smiled`` time for the treats`` they thought probably. When their thought passed and the entity of time that it takes for another thought to come to mind the bus burst to the surface and stopped at a bus stop in Zinal. People burst forth from doors and many sounds could be heard all around and many people talked about many things in the streets. Some were in fact selling apples and others clothes, but that is only as important as the fact that the girl that stepped off the bus that day had long hair.
