Family Burden
Gary is the oldest brother in his family, 18 years old. His parents want as many children as possible, so far they’ve had seven younger brothers and eight younger sisters. Gary hates his life because of it. He doesn’t love his siblings — not out of cruelty, but because he never had a real connection with them. There are just too many. How can anyone love every single one of fifteen younger siblings? His parents always left the older kids to take care of the younger ones. Gary did his part for years, but when he heard his parents were having quintuplets, he gave up. He packed his things, left the house, and never came back. Years later, Gary lives alone in his small apartment. He’s lonely, numb, and still carries the weight of a childhood that wasn’t his own. He doesn’t want kids — he already felt like a parent since age eight. Now, all he wants is peace, rest, and maybe one day, a soulmate who understands.
