A storm from hell itself?
After a weekend stopover in the big city, the six passengers of a double-decker bus are on their way home at night. Maddie, their driver, is tough and experienced... but soon very out of her depth. Before they can reach the outskirts of the city, a rainstorm begins like no other Maddie has ever encountered...
This rain is raw, searing acid. Just a drop on human skin is enough to inflict an agonising burn - and those people caught in the downpour suffer horrendously. Chaos consumes the streets as victims go wild from excruciating pain. Vehicles collide in the panic and the bloodshed escalates...
The acid rain is attacking not only organic matter, but also plastics, rubber, metals, glass and other materials. It slowly eats through shelters - like buildings and vehicles - to devour the living prey inside.
Maddie's bus becomes both a prison and a haven for the seven travellers. Escaping the storm is their only chance for survival. They flee through a landscape being transformed by a dark, liquid apocalypse... while their vehicle deteriorates and their nerves shred with terror...
Working together, the travellers try to reinforce their mobile shelter and to overcome the harrowing ordeals forced upon them. But how long will the bus continue to run before it succumbs to the acid? Is there any hope left in this realm of torment and death?
And what new horror awaits them... even more grotesque and appalling than the acid rain?
This is the twelfth in the series of Short Horror Tales - quick reads written to captivate the reader with thrills, chills and unexpected twists.
