Prologue - What's in a Name?
This is a story about names.
Names that aren’t given at birth, but the ones you earn in the hallways of high school. When you wet a glass bottle, the labels stick, and they become impossible to peel off cleanly, leaving residue behind.
Some names are given in a single moment. Whether it be a disaster, a triumph, or a sentence you can’t take back.
Others are inherited, handed down like heirlooms you never asked for.
Either way, once the name sticks, it becomes the story people tell about you. And after a while, it becomes the story you tell about yourself.
I know because it happened to me.
This is how I became Mr. Bad Timing.
