Q

andrewmnyard asked:

What happened to Wymack? With his parents? I know they're dead now, but what happened with them?

A

Here’s his explanation, taken from Dan’s excerpt over here. Dan is the only Fox on the current line-up who knows the whole story.

“I’m going to tell you a story,” he said, carefully setting his mug to one side, “if you can tolerate me talking about myself for a while. It’s a bit cliché, but it’s the only one I’ve got.“

Dan nodded, but she wasn’t sure if it was encouragement or acknowledgment that he was sharing something very personal.

“My mother was fifteen when she had me. She never finished high school—she dropped out her freshman year when she got pregnant. My father was seven years older than she was and was pressured by parents on both side to marry her. When they met, he was a lousy drunk. By the time I was eight, he’d moved on to other things and brought my mother with him: LSD and ecstasy and huffers and whatnot. When I was twelve, he started on PCPs. And that… Well, let’s just say he went from being angry and useless to being violent and insane.

“I was fourteen when he took my mother’s eyes out with a corkscrew,” Wymack said. Dan recoiled, mouth open on a horrified protest she didn’t have the air for. “I beat the ever-living shit out of him and threw him out of the house. Not quite sure how,” he mused. “He was a big fucker.” He considered the backs of his hands as if looking for his father’s blood on his knuckles, then shrugged it off as unimportant.

“I stayed at the hospital with my mother that night. The following morning, when we were talking about what had happened and what we were supposed to do next, she looked at me and said, ‘Don’t worry. You’ll never amount to anything, either.’ They were the last words she ever said to me. I moved out that same day and never looked back. I didn’t see her again until her funeral.”
