"Harold, you forgot your lunch box again!"
"Sorry, Uncle Cam!"
"Get you stupid ass up and take your kid to school, knucklehead!"
"Mmm… 5 more minutes…."
This was the usual morning for Harold. Well, at least when The Rupture happened. Back then when he was 8, he only met his dad during the weekends. He was staying with his Granny Gerty, and she was a lot like his Uncle Cam.
They're both blunt, and liked to slap his dad on the back of the head. They both have the same way of calling him an idiot. Though…
Harold knows that deep down, they really care for his dad. And by extension, him.
Though that doesn't mean his teenager self would actually register that. To young Harold, his life was pretty chaotic and not like the other kids.
He doesn't have a Mom. He never had. He only learned that his Mom left him with his Dad when his Dad introduced him to Uncle Cam for the first time.
