I'm not one for horror, so I was a little concerned about playing this, but fortunately it was just the right level to be spooky but (hopefully) without giving me nightmares. You might want to put some kind of "play again" type feature at the end, since there's more than one way the story can end; I had to close the tab and open the page again from this page to be able to try again.
Also, one grammar note: the plastic buildings should "peek" out of the water, not "peak" out of it. I think there was also a missed apostrophe in there, too, but I forget where it was. (Mostly I was too caught up in the story for my grammar senses to start tingling, but the use of the wrong homophone often triggers something akin to OCD in me...)
Love the descriptions of the horror. The choice of font was excellent. And you got me real good with remembering the bus driver's name.
