Here's mine, and it has to do with Kenny.
Born in Florida in 1960, Kenny grew up with protestant parents.
His mom took him and his brother to Church every Sunday, while his father, a heavy drinker and bar-brawler, who cared little for Church or religion in general.
His father was a a mechanic by trade, and a very good one at that who was also an ill-tempered and fowl-mouthed and verbally abusive man, particularly if he'd been drinking.
Growing up around him wasn't easy, but Kenny made the best of it.
Kenny would often assist his dad in fixing up old cars that were laying around the yard, and in doing so, developed good mechanical skills.
In school, Kenny was an average student.
He wasn't the most popular kid in class, but he did stand up for himself against bullies and alike, which led to him getting suspended more than once for fighting.
As he entered his teen years, Kenny began experimenting with drugs, particularly marijuana.
At the age of 16, Kenny began working at a mechanic shop, and given his experience working with his dad on cars and trucks, he thrived in the workplace.
At the age of 25, Kenny took a summer job on a fishing boat, and spent the next three months at sea.
Though the job was gruelling to say the least, Kenny possessing a toughness, which he got from his father, did well.
Upon his return to shore, Kenny found he had a love for the work, and continued on with other boat captains, and at the age of 30, was able to afford his own boat.
At the age of 31, Kenny met a veterinarian named Katja, after having brought in a sick baby octopus that had gotten tangled in one of his fishing nets.
The two later began dating and were married a year later.
Kenny made a vow on their wedding day to himself that he would not be the type of husband his dad had been, nor the type of father his dad had been to him.
At the age of 33, Kenny became a father, to a baby boy they named Kenny Jr, who would later earn the nickname "Duck."
Kenny cared deeply for his wife and child, and worked hard to support them, often times taking to months at sea to bring back a huge catch of fish in order to provide for his family.
In 2003, the 43 year old Kenny and his family journeyed up to Memphis Tennessee to visit Katja's sister.
While there, reports began to come in on the news of some sort of plague spreading throughout the country.
Incidences of people eating each other filled the news waves.
Not sure what to make of this, Kenny decided it would be wise to cut the trip short and head back to fort Lauderdale.
On the way, Kenny and his family, while at a Gas Station, began to witness the accuracy of the news reports.
In fact while there, some man tried to make off with Duck!
Kenny was on the guy and beat him to the floor!
After that incident, the family journeyed onward.
Just outside of Atlanta, their Truck broke down.
After walking about 4 miles down the country road, Kenny came across the Hershel Greene farm.
After discussing matters with the owner, Hershel Greene, the family truck was brought to the farm, and after a little more conversation, the Hershel agreed to put the family up for the night.
The rest is history!
The end.
