Bus Ride

By: J A Sliger

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When a young woman moves to the big city she’s looking for a better life than what her small town had to offer. She began applying for jobs everywhere. Ideally she wanted a job with a chance to move up. Unfortunately, she needed to find something fairly quickly or she’d be moving back home with her parents.
What she found wasn’t ideal but it did pay just enough for her to rent a small apartment and stay.
Plus it looked as though there could be a chance to get promoted. So she dug in and held on to that hope.
Then we have a young man that has been doing nothing but working since his father had passed away.
He’s good at what he does. He’s made a lot of money. He’s great at seeing business opportunities and seizing them.
What he hasn’t done is take time for himself.
When other guys his age were beginning to chase girls, he had been forced into running a business.
Then suddenly while he’s just taking a break, their paths cross.
And of all the places it might have happened, it starts at a bench outside of work.
A bench where people wait to catch a bus.
