Chapter 34: On the Road

This is a ticket, not a train ticket, but a passenger ticket for travel to and from the city and countryside, which is folded in half twice and put in a pocket, and when the passenger shakes with the car, it also shakes.

Half an hour ago, it was a clean and complete ticket, lying comfortably in the ticket machine, and unfortunately, it was chosen. The moment it came out, it cheered, glad that it finally had a bright day.

It was a big hand, and the moment it fell into his hand, the ticket panicked.

No! Where are you taking me?

It shouted, but no one could hear it.

Walking past the ticket gate, it was illuminated by a red light.

While waiting for the train in the station, it could clearly feel that it was sweating from holding its hand, and it wanted to come out to catch its breath, but as soon as it came out, it fell to the ground. The big foot almost stepped on his body, but he was still picked up by a big hand.

It swore never to move again.

The car came, and it followed. It was vaguely terrified of the sight in the depths of its soul, and it didn't know why.

Later, it got to know.

Another big hand took it and forcibly tore its body in half, which were its legs.

It was desperate, quietly ravaged by a hand, without crying, without struggling, giving up the courage to live, and losing the motivation to venture into the future.

Just as it was about to be crumpled and thrown away, the bus driver saved it, because the bus driver said that it was time for the passenger to get off the bus and check the ticket again, so that the passenger should not throw the ticket away.

Do you want me to live?

Tickets think.

The ticket dodged being crumpled and not folded, and it was a double pain, physically and mentally tormented.

The bus was bustling, with passengers on the way up giggling and talking, while its owner was sleeping.

After not moving for a long time, the ticket slowly became numb, and it wanted to stretch its body, but it was folded too hard, and it felt like its body was going to break when it moved.

After a long time, the ticket was tormented in the scorching heat, and finally in a shaking, it was rediscovered.

A warm hand stroked it, the already delirious ticket shook for a moment, and just when it thought it was going to go back to its hellish pocket, it felt like it was flying.

Ah~, gentle wind, take me flying, oh, earth, take me!

Crackling, the half-soaked ticket slammed heavily on the ground, covered in sand.

It lay there quietly, unattended, endured the wind and sun, and after a long time, the moisture on its body evaporated, and its wrinkled body began to move with the wind.

There was a thump, and a group of children ran over. Bang, it was stepped on, and a ring was imprinted on its body.

The ticket, which had been fainting for a long time, was kicked awake at once, and at this time, another foot hit it, and it wanted to hide, but it couldn't move, and its legs were gone.

Oh no!

It screamed to stop the big foot, but who could hear it?

The sticky sole of the shoe grabbed the ticket and jumped happily together.

Huh? What is it?

The little kid who stepped on the ticket heard an unusual sound under his feet and took off the dirty ticket from his shoe.

That's a piece of paper, right?

Another child came over and looked at it.

Yes, yes, I'm just a piece of broken paper, throw me away!

The ticket shouted happily.

Hey~ There is mud! It's dirty!

The kid had a little mud on his hands and quickly threw away the ticket.

The mud-stained ticket was already bulky and could no longer move with the wind, as if it were firmly anchored to the ground by a merciless chain, unable to move.

The ticket that tried to break free from the mud with the help of the wind finally gave up, and it felt that it was already like this, what was it struggling with?

Day after day, it wakes up and sleeps, sleeps and wakes up, and sometimes takes a rain shower.

On this day, it was a sunny day, and the tickets had changed from a folded state to a tiled state, thanks to the raindrops that fell from the sky, which helped them spread their bodies.

Although the posture was much more comfortable, it was not happy, the handwriting on its body had blurred, the color had faded, and many wrinkles and other lines appeared, in short, it had become very ugly.

Click, a tractor drove up.

Oh, my God! Again?

The tractor's big wheels pressed over the ticket and became flatter.

The fast-rolling Big Gollum takes the ticket into the air, and this familiar feeling is exactly what it has always dreamed of!

Roar! Hey, hey!

The ticket screams happily and spins in the air, and I don't regret this wonderful feeling even if it turns into flames now!

Poof, it fell into a recycling bin on the side of the road.

Oh, my God! Why is it dark?

A second ago it was in bliss, but in the blink of an eye, it came to a dark place.

Oh no! What is this place? Let me out!

Just when he thought he had come to a quiet and comfortable place, he suddenly felt a cool feeling under him slowly seeping into his body.

It turned out that the ticket had landed on a mud-stained ice cream that was about to melt.

The ticket already felt that his body was out of control, and he was slowly clinging to the cold thing under him.

With a bang, the recycling bin was opened, and one hand pulled the bag out.

Oh, finally saved, huh? No!

At that moment, it thought that someone had come to save him, but the next moment, it was buried by something else, and the cold thing under it was also replaced by itself.

It's over, it's really over.

The ticket already felt that a liquid began to penetrate his brain, a flavorful liquid, a little sweet.

Along the way, the ticket jolted for a long time, and the cold thing that pressed on itself disappeared, and its body gradually became hard.

It felt like the whole world was shaking, and then a bright light appeared.

Oh yes! I'm out! Hahaha!

The moment the ticket flew out, he saw the blue sky, the white clouds, and the earth full of strange things.

Its body was still damp, and it was attached to a plastic bottle when it fell.

There was also half a bottle of water in the plastic bottle under him, which was dazzling in the sunlight.

After a while, it was picked up with the bottle and placed in another bag, which was full of these transparent bottles.

It's much better than the previous place, at least it's well-lit and doesn't smell bad.

Tickets began to enjoy this rare moment, at least for now, it was not tortured.

With a bang, it followed the bottle and fell into a large round bucket, which was full of water.

Oh, it's over!

The ticket is separated from the bottle under the separation of the water, it floats on the water, and I feel my body slowly soften, and the sweet feeling in my brain is slowly fading.

The water shook and swirled, and the ticket went up and down, when something terrible happened.

The ticket is split into two parts!

No! Help me!

Seeing that the lower half of its body, which had lost its legs, was now about to leave it, it screamed in pain and struggled hard, but the body still moved away from itself and disappeared into the water.

It also gradually sank to the bottom of the water, and the moment it closed its eyes, it remembered its life, and it cried, grieving for its misfortune.

After a long, long time, when it opened its eyes again, it found itself in a large box.

I...... Am I not dead yet?

Indeed, only half of the ticket was left as a blank slate, and the ticket thought it was dead, but now it was alive, which made it a little confused.

Ahead was a burning stove, and the ticket was sent in with other combustibles.

It's hot! It's fire! No! I don't want to die like that! If it's burned by fire, it's really over! There's no chance to recycle it! Don't do this to me! Yes!!!

In reluctance and pain, the ticket ended his miserable life.

The powder of the ticket turned into dust was sprinkled in a field, where it would begin another miserable life.

Finish.
