The Twins' Afterstory
Prompt 39: Isolation
People often said how difficult it must be for twins to live apart. They'd lived apart nine years before they'd met each other again, and, compared to that, commuting was easy.
But there was a loneliness when apart that only went away when they were together. One that had been there those nine years as well, just more pronounced and without a name or reason they knew.
Now they did know. And they could let it go my seeing each other, hearing the other's voice…
And anything beyond that was impossible, and they were grateful for what they already had.
