My Cardboard Balcony

My Sister's Back! by Belinda Roddie My sister's back! Yes, she is visiting this week, and I couldn't be happier. We're quickly getting back into the swing of things, like sister shenanigans. Her silliness is contagious, as always, and we've had fun and goofed off quite a bit this current night and the past couple days. We walk at night, and the streets are all lit up by our presence. Enthusiasm bursts from our pores. We love life, and we love to be a part of everything. Our whims and sporadic decisions rank above any concept of "propriety." Seems that my twin and I make an awesome team.

I didn't know why the man was standing on my doorstep at first. His black suit startled me, as well as his sunglasses. They were so dark that I couldn't see any part of his eyes. I felt a foreboding shiver run down my back. "Um...may I help you, sir?" The only part of the man that moved was his mouth. "I'm here to collect your daughter." "What?" "She is needed elsewhere."
