East Texas Hot Links

ROY MOORE - 35 years old. Fancies himself a ladies' man. He was a basketball star in high school. He led the team to a state championship in the days before they let colored and white compete against each other. Now he owns a truck and hauls hay in the summer... "what little there is to haul." He'd chase a piece of pussy into hell. Was probably a virgin until he was twenty-two or three. Roy works for the school system now in maintenance during the school year and some in the summer. Never misses a basketball game or a team practice. Love-starved. 
XL DANCER - 33 years old. XL is employed by the Ebert Construction Company working on the new interstate highway being built. A greedy man.
CHARLESETTA SIMPKINS - 38 years old. Owner/operator of the Top o' the Hill Cafe. 
COLUMBUS FRYE - 49 years old. A soft-spoken, even-keeled man. His mother ran liquor during Prohibition and saved a lot of money which she invested in houses (real estate). These rent houses are now his job. He learned basic plumbing and electrical and carpenter skills, but mostly he hires men from the town to make repairs and keep the lawns mowed etc. He can usually be counted on for a beer and an occasional day's work. His renters often leave envelopes of cash with their rent, or partial payments at the bar with Charlesetta. They feed off of him.
ADOLPH - 58 years old plus. Blind. An old sage. Self-taught. Does day labor work for individuals around town. A disabled veteran. Spends most of his time and money in the Top o' the Hill Cafe. A nourished spirit. 
DELMUS GREEN - 22 years old. The youngblood. Not quite ripe for picking. 
BOOCHIE REED - A gambler and reader of cards and palms.
BUCKSHOT - aka "Titty Baby." 40 or so. A man for whom life is simple.
