Short Story: Worth Riding the 309
My 5-Star review in entirety published on Amazon for Mary R. Woldering’s horror short:
Boarding Old Blue, whether amongst passengers or riding solo, you’ll become acquainted with On-Time Charley, its dedicated driver who’s never late coming or going. Why, even when he got shot while out on a run, he still drove the bus back to the station on time. On in years, Charley’s pretty much been on his own ever since his wife up and left him with their sons.
Before long, On-Time Charley realizes the 309’s usual night route is different for him as it is for the reader. Guess he should have read the dispatch letter before he set out, rather than avoiding it, fearing the company was going to let him go.
I highly recommend this short story which doesn’t skimp on details or character development and background. Samantha Parker will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
