Night Bus to the City

"Is this seat free?" the young man asked.

"Yes, please sit down," said the woman by the window.

The bus left the station at ten at night.

"Are you going to the city for work?" she asked.

"For an interview," he answered. "My first one."

"Then sleep now. You will need a clear head," she said kindly.

He slept until the lights of the city woke him.

"Good luck," she said, and disappeared into the crowd.
