Information I have picked up from Sean... leading to me wanting to make this piece humorous... recollecting some of the ridiculous stories of his childhood.
Born in Billinge Hospital, Wigan... It was closed shortly after his birth.
His earliest memory was being terrified of his house falling on him, being terrified of his dog because he thought it was a lion, and having an inane fear of his wardrobe as he thought it was a "portal to the gates of hell".
He was bullied at school, got into fist fights as he wasn't like the others, who liked to hang out on street corners, terrorizing locals.
He preferred to stay at home and play with his imaginary football league, made clothes and stadiums for his toys, wrote commentaries, made crowd noises and drew touch lines on the carpet.
He also created a school in his bedroom comprising 3 classrooms and a hallway in which he taught imaginary children.
Played with his brother on an imaginary beach in his aunty's living room made up of a yukka plant and a yellow throw.
He watched 'Titanic' with his grandmother and got very upset at the emergency boats who fell asleep rather than saving the people, he turned around at the age of 9 and said "I'm going to say something very bad now... but "the fucking bastards".
He was too scared to use the bus system due to a girl who spat at him, one day in reaction he screamed "willyhead" at her, to which she spat in his eye and told him he now had leukaemia. He then went the long way around town, walking accross a bridge on which 3 boys threw him into a river... he then braved the buses once again.
His biggest adrenalin rush was when him and his friend went through a forest, found a tramp asleep, poked him with a stick and then he chased them for a mile through the woods.
His only friend was later found out to be mentally disabled.
He refused to take his duffle coat off for an entire summer.
He was convinced he was the white power ranger and that his school was the starship enterprise.
He used to make dens with his brother out of boxes. He used to get given expensive presents and only care about the box it came in. Once they made a spaceship under a table and his brother dropped a wench on his head.
His grandfather once found a grey fox, sean wanted to keep it and called it his silver wolf.
There is a lot to build on here...
