The Idol

Michael was born to a middle class Catholic family, Debra and Johnathan Fox. Debra, a staunch and dedicated mother of the home and portrait of classic Hollywood beauty, her brown hair neatly coiffed against a gaunt and almost porcelain face while her ever present brown eyes were glassy and well worn, like an old film kept behind a pane of glass, beautiful and yet still somehow so distant and aloof. Johnathan however, was anything but distant. Bespectacled eyes and a clean high and tight shaven head frame a stern and all-knowing face, worn by a man of enormous stature, towering over Michael's demure and timid frame of 110 pounds at a colossal 230 pounds. Johnathan Fox was not one to be subtle, that is, when he wasn't ensuring that Michael suffer through, or rather, experience life as it was for Johnathan growing up. A true man of the cloth, each day for Michael was exalted in lesson after lesson about the good book. When it wasn't being drilled into him, Michael quickly learned that any act of disobedience in the eyes of his father would soon resort to a fate bent for only the hardest of criminals.
