The bus rumbled down the deserted highway. Daniel stared out the window, watching the landscape blur by. He felt detached, like he was watching a movie of his own life. He checked his Twitter feed out of habit. A new follower: "Mr. Williams." His physics teacher. His tweets were a mix of nerdy jokes and complaints about homework. Now *he* had access to this. This little pocket of his existence. He wished he could disappear, or at least change his feed to something more exciting.
