Turtle Man

Here is Turtle Man. That's what we call him. He lives on the streets of our village. This is the specific spot on Main Street that he seems to like best. He sits there most of the time and watches the world happen around him.

His "house" and possessions are always with him. All his belongings are compartmentalized in little bags that are hanging from him...some in front, lots on the sides, but most in back.

Here's a closer look at him. Notice he's protecting himself from the rain with some type of umbrells covering and has the stub of a cigarette hanging from his lips.

Here's a side view so you can see the pack he carries on his back. When he's ready to sleep, he just leans back a bit against the bags of his possessions on his back, which become his back rest and he closes his eyes.
