Atari Wars

When Henry was 6 he had a huge fight with his older brother over who could have the Atari in their room. When the fight had escalated to a certain point, Henry knew that there was no getting through to his older brother, so he ran into Matty’s bedroom and ripped up his Hulk Hogan Poster. Matty got out a tennis racquet and smashed Henry across the side of the face. His face bled and although he didn’t need it, Henry got his Mum to wrap the top of his head in a bandage, which he wore for 6 months. That night Henry got the Atari and the TV set up in his bedroom and his Mum spoon-fed him banana icecream. Matty went to bed with a bruised ass from the feather duster.

Henry is 19 now and he works in the car park of the local cinema. In between taking people’s parking fees, he can be spotted reading Star Wars fictionalised novels.
