Mary and Carrie, dicephalic parapagus twins, two heads sharing a single body, couldn’t agree on anything. They learned cooperation because it was necessary for controlling their shared body. As they matured, their conflicting natures grew stronger.
For example, Mary’s hair was long and straight. Carrie favored choppy bangs and purple streaks.
Since Mary never figured out how Carrie and Nick communicated desire for each other, she was blindsided the night Nick sneaked into their bedroom. When the pregnancy was discovered, Carrie wanted an abortion and Mary wanted a baby. Lawyers were dispatched.
Even good King Solomon couldn’t have fixed this one.
Great story with a twist ending, Well done!
Thanks, Carol!
OK – I was surprised, too – the example of how they differed was pretty insignificant compared to the ending. It left me feeling more sad than anything. But also a little curious… so I think you nailed it, my friend !
Thanks, Esther!
