Contest: Search That Bus

 

Pigmented leather, indeed, make sure it is clean of belongings, especially bodies with clothes. Search overhead and underneath for the precious tots. Leave no one behind. Search arduously. Though the time spent bores you to tears, you’d be wrung out if you forget to do your spot check. Then forever after you’ll ride that bus, in daydreams and nightmares, always searching. Search!

Hmmm, I had to read Joseph's comment to better understand this...lost belongings? Still, your writing style has my brain at 'attention'- lol

The contest was “Search the Bus,” for kids have been left on the bus, for example, perhaps falling asleep. Some have died.
