Here are short paragraphs of the character profiles:

Rosealee, a woman who embodied the free love movement and whose
conscious was steadfast in the seventies, wrapped her slender frame
with Indian scarves and wore a tiara of beads in her hair. She
skipped down the centre aisle of the bus, with a jovial smile. Illicit
drugs will do that.

Frank was a short man with a beard so thick it engulfed most of his
face and offered unintentional storage for misguided whole-grain o's.
He was not a natural bohemian, but used the lifestyle so exuberantly
perpetuated by his lover to escape the memories of his rigid, military
upbringing. He followed her with fixed eyes and a melancholy smile;
she was his Mecca, his life-long pilgrimage.

Will shortly be up on feathertale

A CHARACTER SKETCH

. . . in which we meet Barry

By Graeme Millen

It was a warm September day, the kind that turns arm pits into leaky
faucets and forces the obese to replace regular conversation with
heaving panting when I first spotted Barry sitting across from me on
the south-bound #3. His legs were crossed tightly. His pin-striped
euro-chic dress shirt opened 3 buttons below the neck line, allowing
his curled black chest hair to dance along his collar with a pride not
common among most pale skinned men with portly bellies.

A 32-year old phone salesman, Barry labours over his finely plucked
eyebrows and tightly groomed fu Manchu each morning before indulging
in his favourite breakfast -- toast lathered with nutella and mashed
bananas.

He carefully tucks his neatly ironed shirt into his green cargo
shorts. The cargo pockets are full; what with, only Barry is sure, but
I suspect batteries, rubber bands, and Ho Hos. His loose fitting
striped tube socks wrinkle around his ankles as they descend into a
well-used pair of gray New Balance trainers; Velcro of course.

Barry is single. Not that he doesn't like women, it's just they don't
like him -- a fact which has proven problematic to his many sexual
advances since discovering women, along with his first nipple hair, at
age 11.

When not riding the bus, or hocking cell phones to teenage girls at
the local mall, Barry opts for the company of his 74-year old, 4
foot-tall Portuguese mother who, as a result of health problems
brought on from 32-years of packing a lunchbox for her adult son, can
only communicate through pointing and grunting. But Barry knows that
when she grunts and draws her finger across her throat in a slicing
manner, she isn't expressing a maniacal hatred, but telling him in her
own way that she loves him.

Like love itself, sweat-filled buses can sometimes stink. Some days
that stench is enough to repulse; driving you recklessly to the verge
of vomiting from your gut and your heart. But on that warm September
day, riding the #3 with Barry twirling his leg hair across from me, I
was nothing short of aroused.
