So when i started this i made a pledge that it wouldn’t be censored. It’s hard though, to include everything that’s going on without hurting certain parties involved and i’m not about that so i’ll tell you about someone i met on the bus. Her name was Rhonda. She was 37 but looked more like 47. She had high cheekbones that forced the rest of her skin to look as if had been sucked under them. Her hair was a fried blonde that looked as if had been cut by someone stuck in 1991. Most of her bottom teeth were missing and a couple of the ones on top too. Except of course for the top ones that stuck out of her mouth when she slept, like some kind of rodent. Her frame was so small that she looked like the only person I ever met to be comfortable on the bus. She got on the bus in Utah when I was on my way back from Oregon. This is her story.

Rhonda grew up in Michigan. Rhonda has been to jail twice. Once for some kind of check scam because she wanted to “add some extra Christmas cheer” that year. She has 3 children and not all of them by her husband. Rhonda’s favorite phrase is “girl I loves me some fill in the blank”. The blank could be filled in by weed, sex, coke, and other various substances/vices. After being married for 15 years she caught her husband cheating on her with some kind of “street walking whore”. She left with her neighbor to go to Reno. At first I assumed that she was with a woman, but I later learned that it was a man, who she started having her own little affair with. She claims this was after they got there, but I have my doubts. She told me that she hadn’t slept almost the whole time she was in Reno and fell asleep after she told me this. She soon woke up and told me more. She showed me pictures of her kids and a really blurry one of her husband. She kept using other people’s phones because she was trying to figure out where he wired the money to. He bought her a bus ticket to North Carolina to come live with him in his prefabed doublewide trailer. “Do you know how nice those are girl? They already come furnished with real wood.” WOW. That’s great Rhonda. She also had a stalker. She showed me the clipping in the newspaper. It was a big faded heart with her initials plus the stalkers initials. I have never had a stalker. Not to my knowledge anyway. Maybe he’s just too clever for me. She also liked to read. She had a Dean Koontz book with her. Something that looked like it was about aliens or something. At least she knew how to read. Rhoda was quite a character. Probably better then in any Koontz book. I hardly do her justice.
