Fiction Shorts | Random Word Drabble Challenge

A Drabble is a work of fiction that is exactly 100 words. No more. No less.

The word of the day is MORBID. The twist is the given line: not all twins are alike.

I'd killed time at the gas station halfway there, stretching my back and people-watching with a level of fascination that bordered on morbid, but I was still early.

Not all twins are alike.

I pulled the PB&Js out of the cooler before heading through security. I'd promised Tim when we were ten and Mom had decided that we were all more than she'd bargained for that I would never abandon him, and I wasn't about to start now. The sandwiches were non-negotiable.

They brought him in cuffs, but pretended not to notice when we hugged.

187 weeks down.

This story was inspired by the Random Word Drabble Challenge by Nancy Oglesby at Fiction Shorts.
