I could have been something good. Someone good. However, not only was I was born second place to a brother whose only interests in life are himself and delinquency, but my mother's batshit insane paranoia has ensured the second rate status of my entire family. Even my father is too meek to be anything but useless. Now don't get me wrong; I love them. But I love them like you love a dog for loving you. Life is reciprocal that way. I've accepted and come to terms with what I've been given and I will give only that much in return. Never more. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a fragment of useless human self-worth for a fragment of useless human self-worth.

Maybe I've just never been good at connecting with other people, but the gas mask certainly doesn't help. Ever since our mom made the decree that we needed to protect ourselves from the toxic fumes of the local oil industry, we've been stuck wearing respirators twenty-four hours a day to appease her. Or at least my brother and I lead her to believe we wear them nonstop. In any case, blue eyes and an untamable scruffy mop of brown hair haven't done much to endear me to the community, not when my awkward smile is hidden away behind this plastic mask. People tend to think I look like the village idiot, thick-skulled and senseless, and when I catch a glimpse of my own reflection I find it hard to disagree. No matter how many useless facts I keep up in my head — enough that I could be mistaken for borderline brilliant — I don't know that I'll ever do anything more than meet expectations... and, like I said, those aren't so good.
