There are many ways to get to school: riding the bus, biking, driving a car, and, or course, walking. Here is one person's experience of a memora- ble sojourn to OHS. Picture if you will: You, waiting ea- gerly with a pile of schoolbooks at your side. The time: 6:50 a.m. The place: a dark, lonely, desolate road. Your blood curdles as you are unsu- spectingly encountered by a terrifying yellow monster of machinery. An omi- nous door in the side opens revealing a creature sitting in the driver's seat. With its red, glowing, hypnotizing eyes and cold, black lips, the wraith chants Good mourning! Care for a lift? Here, have some candy. Paralyzed with fright, you nod and proceed to the back and sit alongside a girl who spits chew and introduces new words to you everyday. You are traveling in a dimension of neither sight nor sound. You are travel- ing from Point A, your house, to point B, OHS. Many students live this night- mare every day during the school year. You sit tensely in your seat and give a cautious peer out the window. You no- tice your teeth are chattering as you spot some ghouls on skateboards ter- rorizing the sidewalks. Out there, in mists that never disappear, are maniacs walking with their feet, no motorized vehicle, no wheels, no nothin ! You think you've seen it all as you stare out the window. Screamin down the road in a bright unleasheifrom- hell Suburu is a blonde. You catch a glimpse of her face and realize that you will be emotionally scarred for the rest of your life for it is a face that has just woken up nine minutes ago - atypical situation for Oakdale students who oversleep and usually compensate for the lost time by tearing through traffic to school. Finally, a shock overcomes you as you see the long-dreaded sight approach- ing. You tear your hair and ti hten your hairshirt as you near the threatening sign. lt reads: THE BUS UNLOADING ZONE.
