The Best American Science Fiction And Fantasy 2015
“It’s leaking out of his earbuds, giving her a headache. He’s a big boy, sprawled out across his seat and into hers as if she’s not there at all. She squeezes herself against the window, resting her head against the cool glass to try to ease the throbbing behind her eyes. Maybe the kid will get off at the next stop, in forty minutes or so. Maybe nobody else will get on to take his seat. The bus is completely full, and the waves of chatter and smell might have made Vangie sick even without the bo...oming bass.
It’s a ten-hour ride to see Graham; Vangie just hopes she’ll get in this time. She can’t shake her gut fear that everything’s lined up too neatly, that something has to go wrong. More than once, she’s spent the time and money to get down there—the time’s no problem, but the money’s not so easy, not with her monthly check as small as it is—to find the prison on lockdown, nobody in or out and God only knows what’s going on inside. All you get are reports you can’t trust, and you sit in the shabby town library Googling the news every two seconds until it’s time to catch the bus back home, because you can’t afford another night in a motel.MoreLess
