The night bus to Siliguri

The driver, a serious man whose eyes betrayed hidden knowledge, opened the bus door with a groan.

There was apprehension in the air as the sun set, throwing deep shadows across Ilam. The night bus to Siliguri wasn’t just another form of transit; it was a symbol of danger that drew the brave and the curious. People in the area forewarned about the spooky legends that circulate about travellers who boarded the bus but never arrived at their destination.
