THE MAN WHO MISSED THE BUS, Stella Benson

The Man Who Missed the 'Bus - A Haunting Tale of Isolation and Perception
Mr. Robinson is an astute observer of the world-too astute, perhaps. Sensitive to noise, light, and the ceaseless flow of human trivialities, he arrives in the quiet Provençal town of St. Pierre, hoping to find a refuge from the chaos of existence. But as he watches the world with a detached fascination, he realizes that no one truly sees him. Shadows fall across faces, laughter echoes without recognition, and the deeper he peers into the human spectacle, the more he becomes a ghost among the living.
When he wakes before dawn, desperate to flee, the town and its silent inhabitants have one last revelation for him. But by the time he reaches the 'bus, the road ahead is not the escape he imagined-it is a threshold between the seen and the unseen, between existence and erasure.
In this unnerving and surreal descent into loneliness, The Man Who Missed the 'Bus asks: What happens when you are no longer acknowledged by the world? And worse-when even your own reflection begins to vanish?
