Changes

by R. Richard

Former poor boy Jim has finally located the part he needs to repair his car and he gets on a bus.
The only empty seat on the bus is across the aisle from Janice, the former homecoming queen, cheerleader, girl most likely, etc. Janice is wearing a waitress uniform from a low budget restaurant in the area.
Jim once dated Janice.
Jim then muses over the contrasts between Janice and his now wife, Julie. There's really no comparison and Jim gets off the bus, having said no more than hello.

About the author

I have 48 novels and over 290 short stories currently published.

I'm the co-author, with Sunset Thomas, of Anatomy of An Adult Film.

I spent my early years in the part of Los Angeles known as the South Central. I was known as Whi' Boy, which was sufficient to indentify me in that place. I'm a skilled kung-fu player, using a system that I learned from a Korean I knew only as 'Pak.' It would be easier to tell you the places that Pak wasn't wanted by the police, rather than the places where he was wanted by the police. Pak's kung-fu system, augmented by some bits and pieces from some Chinese practicioners is quick and effective, or I wouldn't be alive today.

My early education was mostly obtained by stealing books from the public library (I always returned them and the Librarian even began to provide me with reading lists.) I did go to high schools, but I never really learned anything there. I eventually graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles, UCLA, with a degree in mathematics.

I work as a Systems Analyst and also make a part of my living as a professional gambler (legal in Nevada.)

I write science fiction, erotica and adventure. My published novels are:

Reviews

[Sandor · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's difficult to believe some of the people you encounter while riding the bus.
However, it's not difficult to sort them out.

Jim once thought that Janice was the girl that he wanted.
An evening bus ride changes his mind.
