Any Torontonian worth his or her salt has embarked on an epic journey on the blue night bus. This is a network of TTC buses and streetcars that run after 1:30am when the subway and regular bus service stop. Affectionately known by locals as "The Vomit Comet," every weekend this late night form of public transit throws together a colourful assortment of drunken characters from all walks of life. The resultant chaos at best can be described as "entertaining!" and at worst it can be described with a long string of expletives.
With this blog, I'd like to pay homage to this quintessential Toronto experience in the form of a "choose your own adventure," fiction. Each week I will post a chapter followed by choices of where the story will go next. Leave a comment on the post of what you think the character should do and the most popular selection will lead us to the next chapter. As this is an interactive work of fiction, please pass it on, the more people participating the more fun this will be! If you have ideas for things that might happen in this epic, feel free to e-mail/message me your ideas.
Cheers!
Angela
