139. Sound normal right? Wrong, dead wrong. Try flipping the number from bottom upwards (write the number in your mind, pretend to hold it and flip it up), what did you get?

Precisely... no.. wait.. yeah, I don't know what you got (lol). The thirteen remains thirteen but the nine? It resembles the number '6' don't you think? Isn't six the devil's number or something? Yeah.

One hundred thirty-nine. Hundred thirty-nine. Thirteen nine. The number for a bus which leads to Red Hill, the place thousands or maybe even just a little less than million were killed in the infamous World War Two. The reason for the name Red Hill is simple- blood is red, and on that fateful day, the hill was filled with blood.

I didn't know why people don't seem to care (or notice, in this case, it looks like). But now I shall tell you all I know of about this eerie bus.

Fact number 1: Old
You see, the bus was always an old bus. While other buses like bus 145 were upgraded to newer buses, 139 still remained as old and dirty and kind of historical. It's like the bus has a soul or something that prevented any foul play in its point of view. Heck, even most people taking the bus are elderly, excluding me (I'm very very young).

Supporting evidence: When finally there are some new thirteen nine buses, they're entirely new. It's obviously different because other buses also have new seats, the difference is that it still retains its (old, rusty) outer appearance, while the new thirteen nine is entirely new, from bottom to top and left to right. All new. (Checked from tires and deck of bus, as well.)

Fact number 2: Suspiciously Unharmed
In all my years of taking the thirteen nine, not once, not even one time did it broke down before. Why hasn't it even been the slightest teeniest small bit damaged before? Don't you find that weird? I do.

Supporting evidence: None, unless you count my experience and eyesight (not perfect).
Who knows, maybe when I ride it again, it might just broke down, and I'll have a new adventure/experience, but then again it will only prove my theory wrong.

Fact number three: I don't know
"I don't know" is correct. I personally haven't ride it all the way to Red Hill before, so I don't know what's at the end. Mysterious huh? Or do all buses seem to interest your curiosity just 'cause you haven't ride it to the end before, I wonder..

Supporting evidence: Less than none.

Fact number four--
Wait.. I don't have a fact number four. *embarrassed*
