the two suitors of Zoie Malone page 6 by ric gustafson.
David blew on his gloved hands as the bus slowly stopped and then opened it's door. He shivered a little thinking that this was one of the coldest December's he could remember. He stepped inside and then took off his gloves putting them in a pocket of his dark parka. He took out five quarters from a pant pocket and put them in the machine. He heard clink, clink, clink, clink clink and then he walked back to his normal seat and sat down.
He took out a black pocket bible and turned to the book of Psalms. He knew he had to start studying for his bible study that was tonight.
" Excuse me".
He turned to see a young female with a large red stocking cap covering her face.
She slowly took off the cap to reveal that it was Zoie.
" Aren't you the one at work who brings in our office mail?".
Knowing he could not hide, David knew the time had come.
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric.
