Foozlers

by Tom Osborne, Osborne, Tom Osborne (With)

Overview

Foozlers is a 24-hour "e;Odyssey"e; that runs a juggernaut through the high- and lowlands of Vancouver. Jerry Lowe is the reluctant driver of a getaway car for two sketchy junkies on the make. A pair of cops spend a shift wobbling on the cusp of total breakdown. The groom-to-be in an Indian arranged marriage seeks an escape of the carnal variety. Soon, they will all intersect paths with a gas station attendant and a very "e;special"e; car wash operator. And somebody's got to do something about that noisy, bad-tempered cockatoo.

Foozlers chronicles that thin line between sane and insane behaviour, and the mayhem and unpredictability fuelled by the "e;Butterfly Effect"e;-strangers' paths crossing for only an instant but having explosive effects. By story's end, lives, or at least attitudes, will change. Sort of.
