Bush, with whom she has presumably shared a shady past. Although she doesn't have much written, she provides enough dirt about her so-called "fictional character" to shock and awe her teaching assistant, Gordon Bell, and fellow classmates, who adamantly encourage her to continue her efforts. Enter Mr. Farnsworth, her husband, who is initially seen as villainous in obstructing the sordid truth from being exposed, but who then offers his own perspectives on what is really happening, including possible lapses of reality in his wife's mind. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div>
