CH. 21 • The Twenty

. . .About 10 years ago, twenty students and their bus driver/teacher going on a middle school camping trip went missing. Parents, the county police, and basically everyone in the town searched the entire woods and the campsite hoping to find anything about their kids. For a month they searched and searched, but after no clue to where they could be, they stopped looking.

Memorials were put up and a plaque was dedicated to each of the parents for their kids. The Twenty’s disappearance was honored on the day they went missing. Then one day, on the day and around the time the kids were supposed to come back from their trip they did.

It was about four in the afternoon, and the school bus that they left on came rolling through town, making its way towards the middle school. The bus was the same, but it was covered in soot and caked in years of dirt, some of the windows were cracked and through each window, you could see that the kids were all in their seats.

The town followed the bus back to the school. There were no doors on the bus and when the kids stepped off there was something different about all of them. They were still the same ages and looked the same, but not only were their clothes reduced to rags and leaves and other coverings. There was something about their eyes. They looked as if they had been through hell and back.
