      The V in Vigilant

      By J.M. Snyder

      Monday dawned overcast and chilly. By the time Vic Braunson got behind the wheel of his city bus, rain lashed the windshield and cold air shrieked through the slightly open window beside the driver’s seat. Visibility was nil, keeping him well below the posted speed limits as he eased the bus along its prescribed route. Other drivers zoomed by, cutting him off at times, driving as if the heavy rain didn’t bother them. More than once he saw some idiot narrowly avoid an accident. Before he’d even managed to complete one circuit of his route, the muscles in his shoulders and back had knotted up and the start of a tension headache tugged behind his eyes. Vic knew this was going to be a long day.

      As he slowed in front of the bus stop outside the Shriner’s Temple on Lakeside Avenue, Vic saw a familiar sight. The man waiting for a ride was a repeat customer, and the only reason Vic recognized him out of the hundreds of others who rode the bus daily was because he was confined to a wheelchair. He was the only disabled passenger on Vic’s route, and the reason Vic took an extra fifteen minutes each morning in the yard ensuring the wheelchair lift on his bus worked before setting out for the day.

      His name was Roger Ward, Private First-Class. Though he’d been discharged from the service after losing half his right leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, that was how he had introduced himself to Vic the first time he’d ever entered Vic’s bus. Roger was in his late twenties and used a manual wheelchair, pushing it up the hilly sidewalks along Lakeside to reach the bus stop before Vic arrived. If Vic saw him on the way, he’d wait at the stop, wheelchair lift already extended and engine idling. Despite his handicap, Roger kept active, and it was a rare day when Vic didn’t see him somewhere along his route.

      Today Roger wore a dark, bulky jacket, unzipped to show a drab olive T-shirt beneath it. Black, fingerless gloves protected his hands from the tread on his wheels, which he gripped as he waited
