Oswald Jackson Jr.—a name he hates not just because it regularly gets the shit kicked out of him on the playground, but because a name is supposed to be yours, it’s supposed to mean something, and this one makes him feel like a crappy photocopy of Oswald Jackson Sr., aka the world’s biggest asshole and the one who just locked him in this shitty excuse for a bedroom—slaps his palm against the doorframe.
