Short Stories of Paul O'Grady

THE BUS RIDE

Being an avid fan of the more private mode of transportation

I find the thought of having to take public transport an

inconvenience of the highest order and an exercise to be avoided at

all costs. Well........nearly all costs. Sometimes the universe deems it

appropriate to test us by putting us in situations that are somewhat

out of our control just to see what happens. I'm sure the universe must

be run by a woman. (no offence intended) But that's another story. A

time not long past falls into this category.
