Bus Shelter

Bus Shelter Driving past a crudely made bus shelter, it looks like concrete box I took a picture because a mystery story was told about it. A stormy winter night a man found the shelter it had a bench glad the he was dry and he waited and waited only the bus didn`t drive on this road any longer. Years later passers-by found a skeleton the police was called but the bones had no papers to tell his name and a mystery was born. My dog disappeared when she found her way home she was tired and petrified and like the skeleton could tell me nothing. I think she was lured into the van of a hunter, tied up in his backyard to be trained as a hunting dog. She got loose and ran and ran perhaps for days and too scared to approach people. She overcame this trauma lived a long life and now is a skeleton in a black bin bag in the outhouse.
