A bus driver recalls the highs and lows of his life in this dark and blackly comic monologue. This is a bit of an experiment for me, inspired by the popular character monologues written by Alan Bennett that were broadcast on British television in the 1990s. If people like it, I may make it the start of an occasional series called "Talking Dead".“THE BUS DRIVER’S FEAR OF CHANGE” by Jasper L’Estrange. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. You can hear me discuss this story by listening to an upcoming episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem, my bonus show for paying YouTube channel members and Patreon supporters.CREATOR’S NOTE: These recordings may contain sound effects and music because that’s what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. If it’s not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. I’m sure they’ll be glad to hear from you. The stories I choose to read I choose because I like them - not that they're all perfect or that I agree with all the sentiments expressed, but because I find something in them to recommend them. If I were to read only what I consider to be the few perfect vintage horror stories I should have recorded about twenty and stopped. But everything I read has something in it that appeals to my taste. Tastes differ, so you might not agree with my choices, but that doesn't make you right.💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀Supporting my workIf you like, you can donate in the following ways:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpodYouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/joinOne-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcastYou can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE - it all helps the show survive and prosper!If you want to discuss the show, talk business, or have any ideas for stories you'd like to hear in future episodes, contact me: [email protected]💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀About the story:"The Bus Driver’s Fear of Change” © Jasper L’Estrange (2025).Music credits:Music used : "LOST BETWEEN SPACES” composed and produced by “Vivek Abhishek”Music link: https://youtu.be/jIak25MK33U?si=cK18_TduDf1LM5CXSUBSCRIBE us on YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3qumnPH Follow on Facebook : https://bit.ly/33RWRtP Follow on Instagram : https://bit.ly/2ImU2JVSound effects: All sound effects sourced at Freesound*.*Used with the following licence: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ The recording was created using Audacity and BandLab.
