A bus driver recalls the highs and lows of his life in this dark and blackly comic monologue. This is a bit of an experiment for me, inspired by the popular character monologues written by Alan Bennett that were broadcast on British television in the 1990s. If people like it, I may make it the start of an occasional series called "Talking Dead".βTHE BUS DRIVERβS FEAR OF CHANGEβ by Jasper LβEstrange.

The stories I choose to read I choose because I like them - not that they're all perfect or that I agree with all the sentiments expressed, but because I find something in them to recommend them. If I were to read only what I consider to be the few perfect vintage horror stories I should have recorded about twenty and stopped. But everything I read has something in it that appeals to my taste.
