The Twins' Afterstory
Prompt 37: Doorbell

They didn't bother with the doorbells. Those were for strangers. And they weren't strangers. They didn't want to be strangers. They were brothers who shouldn't have even had to live apart.

But they did, so the travelling, the visiting, was unavoidable. At least they could avoid the doorbells, the knockings on the door…those sorts of things that screamed "stranger" to the walls…since the wall had ears too and sometimes there was nobody else to hear.

But still, they didn't want to be strangers in the home of their brother, of a parent even if they themselves didn't live with them.
