King's Mulligan [Interactive Project]

[King-Clod]

A family member of ours, on older sibling or cousin, from far in the past. Looking back, they probably were a lot less sure of themself as I remember them, but I used to think they were indestructible. I learned they weren't quicker than a kid should have to.

Things that remind me of them are leather jackets worn long after they were barely more than shreds, an out of tune harmonica that they'd never let me play, and caramel candies they'd sneak us when our moms weren't looking.

A core memory I have of them is when they took me out to see the stars on their shoulders. From up there, I almost thought I could reach them.
