The Last Bus
RWDrabble 2.0.018 Dunk
The random word is Dunk, and the twist is the last sentence, that has to be,
Today was finally over.

With the last bus to the city, it was all over! That storm, upsetting our Sunday morning rituals, had finally passed.
Father’s newspaper remained unread; his highlighter pencil untouched along with his and mother’s barely touched first cups of tea; basically, everything was left in the middle to welcome unexpected and, to a large extent, unwanted, unsolicited guests who had arrived for the day, demanding tea, coffee, lunch.
We returned inside to resume whatever we could, though the drowned biscuit I had dunked in my tea and our morning, we couldn’t resuscitate. We sighed with relief: Today is finally over.
Unannounced guests caused us many such days. But the door to my childhood house used to be always open and ‘welcoming’!
