This is fantastic! Crisp, clean prose and the first line pulls you into the story. Why didn't he open the door? They should use this as an example of the perfect 100 Word Flash fiction. Makes me embarrased of the few I've published!
Congrats!

Your story made me smile. One of our friends after a long career in finance took a job as a bus driver because he loved kids and he knew each one and each one loved him. I think the bus drivers have an opportunity to influence children and affirm each one's worth.
Congratulations on the win!!

Congratulations on your win. Sorry I missed reviewing and voting. I've been away. It's an excellent story, very well written and with a great (and unexpected final sentence or two). Very deserving of first place.

Comment from Bill Schott
This one-hundred-word story, The School Bus Driver, has the proper word count and finds one of those unsung heroes, the school bus driver, pondering his worth in the scheme of things. It is important, I think, that these folks know how we feel about their part in our kids' lives.

Excellent entry for the 100 Word Story writing prompt contest. Well written and follows the contest rules. It's hard to tell a complete story in 100 words but you managed well.
A moving story about a bus driver.
Well done! Good luck in the club

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
The bus driver could not stand the noisiness of the children on the bus. If he had to retire because of the children that would be very sad. Many bus drivers have their buses under control.

I rode a bus during my school years. Back then, you had the fear of God placed into you by parents and drivers alike. I think it is a tough job to have today. Great job. Enjoy your day. Shirley

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Very well done. The picture helped immensely. The idea of walking away felt sorrowful for the old man who was retiring. You did as well as Rockwell in painting the picture in words.
