Twins
Adele Carcano-Age 12, April 2014
I looked down; there were many little creatures. I could
also feel them inside of me. My twin had them crawling in
his veins too. I could see him smiling, watching the
creatures in interest. Everything was going well. In the
distance I could see other objects: my neighboring
buildings, a long stretch of blue, and a plane. I moved my
eyes down to the third floor and looked inward. The small
creatures now looked huge. They were looking at me,
through me, through my windows, right at the plane, which
now seemed closer. I turned myself around and moved back
up to level 91. I could see my twin looking at me.
Something wasn't right. The plane was moving closer. He
seemed to be yelling, yelling for the human controlling the
plane to stop, but as we know, the humans cannot hear us.
The creatures, the humans, on the bottom level of my halls
were rushing out of my body. I could hear screams. I
looked at my twin. He looked back at me with a sad smile.
I knew this couldn't be good. The plane was now yelling at
us, telling how sorry he was and how he couldn't control
himself. He grew bigger and bigger until suddenly, he
smashed into my twin. I wanted to scream, but the humans
who made me wouldn't allow this, they wouldn't even allow
me to move. I had to watch as my brother burst into flames
and fell. The creatures were jumping off me, squirming
inside of me, and holding each other, it was all chaos.
Then I looked back into the long stretch of blue, and saw
another plane heading straight for me. I waited, thinking
about the little creatures trapped inside of me, unable to
escape. But then, the plane hit me and I saw no more.
