The Farewell Fare

Welcome aboard a bus that arrives long after the last service should have run.

A quiet, unsettling journey through the spaces between endings and beginnings.

In The Farewell Fare, four strangers find themselves waiting at the same late-night bus stop. The timetable is wrong. The streets are empty. And when the bus finally arrives, it seems to appear from nowhere.

At first, it feels like any other ride home.

But the road outside grows unfamiliar, the stops don’t make sense, and the silence inside the bus begins to feel heavier than the night beyond the windows.

Some passengers seem to know more than they should.
Others are still trying to understand where they are.

And somewhere along the route, each of them will realise that this journey is not quite what they thought.

On board are passengers such as

• A man in a suit who trusts logic more than instinct
• A woman who recognises the strange quiet of waiting rooms
• A girl with a biro pen who documents everything she cannot explain
• A quiet observer who watches more than he speaks
• And a passenger who seems strangely familiar with the road ahead

Blending philosophical fiction with subtle supernatural mystery, The Farewell Fare explores uncertainty, consequence, and the quiet moments when ordinary lives drift somewhere unexpected.

Some journeys take you home.
Others take you somewhere else entirely.
