A Twin's Redemption

A Story of Hope

A passage through time: a dark secret has been revealed. What would two twins do at that age? What life would they live? “It was our first day of kindergarten. I clutched my sister Angelica’s hand, squeezing it tightly. She was gripping mine even harder. My sister and I were not typical four-year-olds. We viewed ourselves more on par—at least in life lessons—with tenth graders” “I still didn’t get it. It’s impossible to solve other people’s problems. I don’t know what she was getting up to, but she needed a long break. All this starting school business was going to her head. Mother and Father told us that school was where we were to learn things, not muck around and go wild like Angelica was.” “I stuck with the plan. If I had to read a book, I had to do it. Mildred was already reading a picture book and studying the images. I perused the books on the shelf. A small, blue book caught my eye. “Do not open,” it read. I hid it in the jacket I was wearing. I know it’s bad to steal a book, but I needed to find out what this book had to say. I listened to Mildred mumbling as she carefully flicked through the pages. I could tell from her facial expression that she found nothing important or interesting in the book. She finally finished.” Mildred and Angelica were very young when drama began in their lives. Hate, betrayal, and feeling invisible plagued them. Their whole life seemed a constant battle between their parents and bullies, a never-ending mess that only escalated. Angelica and Mildred are different from other twins and young children. They have the ability to read people’s minds. They can communicate with one another miles away from each other, but can they save each other?
