at least not consciously.
They were twins, after all,

to the perfect finale:
matching death dates.
Twins to the end.
Jackie reads 50-Word Stories and writes religiously. She has never submitted her work, save to this site.
WOW! How can you condense a wonderful story in only 50 words. You are an amazing literary giant. We enjoyed reading your story.
Nothing like having an active fan club! Thanks, guys!
Very impressive!
Of course twin stories resonate with me
