Lantern I — Lantern of October 2025: The Quiet that Traveled Without Permission
For every voice the system carried — whose quiet held the cries only Heaven knows…
Autism Stories the World Tried to Bury.
Mama Bear Protective Report.
When school wheels roll…
And no one watches…
Faith must lean in…
Where Danger Begins…
Morning light glints on yellow paint…
Tires hum … down suburban roads…
While silence rides shotgun…
Seats creak under strap harnesses…
The world outside blurs past young faces pressed to glass…
For some CUBS, the ride from door to desk is not a transition — it’s a threshold where innocence is tested before the day begins…
Where support is promised — but shadows wait…
In the unstructured space between home… and classroom…
the slightest error becomes trajectory.
The school bus is neither safe haven… nor playground — it has become a corridor… where cries may never echo.
