Ignominy
The oppressive dryness from the onboard heating joins forces with the mid-carriage intensity of the bus engine to agitate my Nor Loch-purchased nausea. I glare up the aisle at the convex miniature of the driver’s face trying not to think of anything stomach-related...or liquid...or food.
My teeth are Publius Horatius at the Sublicius Bridge: facing off against a more dreaded force than that of Clusium.
But bridges span rivers, and the guy next to me sipping spring water from a bottle of ostentatious brand summons images of the Tiber and spilt blood.
Bile breaks through and brings friends.
