I looked at my reflection in the window, only it wasn\u2019t my reflection anymore. It was him, my twin brother Joe. My parents denied I ever had a twin brother but I knew they lied. They smothered him in his crib because two kids were too much work. Joe told me so when I was twelve. Shortly afterward my parents died in a fire. The cops thought it was an accident but I kept Joe\u2019s secret because after all, he was my brother.Joe hung with me for a few years until I met Susan. He hated her, so I had to choose between both. I chose her! But now he found me again.\n\u201cSusan is going to betray you,\u201d he says.\nI shudder because I don&#8217;t want to believe him. I love her but I also know that Joe is always right. I miss my parents once in a while and I\u2019ll probably end up missing Susan too. But I\u2019ll keep Joe\u2019s secret because after all, he\u2019s my brother.\n\nMoral of the Story: One mosaic on your wall is great, two are four times better. Happy haunts from the Mosaics Lab crew who is currently on a coffin break.\n\n\n\n \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LIKE THIS?
