**PATTY: (F, LATE 50’S - 60’S ) The doting oblivious mother of the protagonist who, although embedded in an awful crime-addled world maintains a 1950’s housewife disposition and treats her middle aged undead drug addict son with tender care. 

**CREEP: (M, late 30’s - late 50’s) The overweight, unkempt absolutely disgusting neighborhood creep, heavily into voyeurism and breathing hard through his mouth.
