the two suitors of Zoie Malone page 6 by ric gustafson
David blew on his gloved hands as the bus slowly stopped. He shivered thinking that this was one of the coldest Decembers he could remember. The door opened, he stepped inside and then took off his gloves. He put them into a pocket of his dark parka and then took out five quarters from a pant pocket. He put them into the machine and then heard the familiar clink, clink, clink, clink and clink.
He quietly 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 that he had to start studying for his bible study that was tonight.
" Excuse me".
He looked up to see a young female with a large red stocking cap covering her face. She slowly took it off 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
