So, to add something, here's a previously unseen story...
...or, at least, a very rough first draft of a short story I whipped up a couple of years ago and couldn't work out any published version I was happy with.
*My wholehearted apologies go to the couple of people I've previously shared this with for my laziness and lack of skill in making it better..
Doubt
Teigan had always had a twin sister…..right?
They'd always done EVERYTHING together.
Like the time that they had both taken that hypnosis course together with that boy from the class above her at school. Chrissy had invited Chris along and tahlia had thought it was soo weird because chris was was so totally creepy and fat, but then when he'd come she realised how she was really just being silly.
It had been annoying that Chrissy hadn’t come but that was just SO like Chrissy to be missing right when you needed her. She was such an absent minded bimbo sometimes.
But that was why you loved your twin right. You’d forgive someone who looked exactly like you for ANYTHING. You could ALWAYS trust your sister.
Not that they looked exactly alike. Sometimes she even thought they didnt look alike at all but when she mentioned this to Chrissy her sister had just giggled.
“Don’t be silly Teigs” Chrissy had reminded her in that deep barritone she had.
“You KNOW that as your IDENTICAL TWIN SISTER I have been IDENTICAL to you in EVERY WAY since birth…”
Teigan had felt so silly that she agreed to help Chrissy by brushing out her pretty blonde wig so that it was styled exactly to match her own hair. It was the least Teigan could do until her sister’s short brown buzzcut grew out to its proper length.
That was what sisters were for.
Teigan taught Chrissy all about her aerobics regimen. She used it all the time to stay in shape and tone her lithe form so she stayed skinny and flexible.
Chrissy was clumsy at first, but very determined. She would sit on the couch and stare at Teigan to make sure she could do things JUST right.
Daddy had seen them both practicing one day and it had made him very angry.
“Who the fuck invited that pervy faggot Chris here? Are you wearing my daughter’s gym tights you creepy little….” Teigan had never heard daddy be angry at Chrissy before, obviously he would shorten her name when he was angry, but Chrissy bound right over to him and rubbed against him, and kissed him very strongly and reminded him that it was very important that he let his little girls both practice in the living room. And Daddy remembered that he would do ANYTHING for his little girls and that he especially needed to ring up the hospital because he needed to pay for the special operation he had forgotten that Chrissy needed to have soon.
Daddy had gone to his room after that. Daddy was so forgetful.
Every day after that, Daddy had let them both do Aerobics in the Living room as much as they liked. Chrissy had reminded Daddy that Teigan needed to take a few weeks off school because it was IMPORTANT that she did her exercises every day.
Teigan remembered how important it was.
Daddy would sit next to Teigan on the couch and together they would watch Chrissy do her exercises each day.
Chrissy was so good at the exercises. It was how she managed to stay in shape and tone her lithe form so she stayed skinny and flexible. Teigan had sworn Chrissy was losing weight, but Chrissy reminded her that they were identical so that was just a silly thought. She was probably just being jealous of Chrissy because Teigan had never been able to do exercises. Chrissy had reminded her of just how lazy she was, but it was ok, because there were so many delicious flavors of ice cream and her twin sister was so NICE in bringing her a new tub every day!
One day, for Teigan’s birthday, Chrissy had surprised her with a new outfit!
It was her favourite! Dark Blue elastic waist sweat pants and an oversized gray hoodie with its own Sweat stains!
Chrissy helped her take off her bra once she remembered how much she hated wearing it. Chrissy looked silly when she put it on, but once Teigan had handed over her panties amongst other things to help stuff it out she remembered Chrissy had always been much better endowed than her. Teigan didnt really even need to wear a bra at all, especially now that she had such a wonderful new outfit that she would never have to take off.
It was so NICE of Chrissy to offer to take ownership of all her pretty underwear. She was the BEST sister. It made her sad that she hadn’t remembered to buy Chrissy anything for their birthday, but it had snuck up so quickly. Teigan could have sworn that her birthday wasn’t until summer, but that was silly because everyone KNEW that was Chrissy’s birthday, because Teigan’s birthday always came first!
That was the thing about identical twin sisters, everyone knew that the older one always had their birthday 3 and a half months earlier.
As a special gift, Chrissy had let Teigan pick out the hair dye that perfectly matched her own hair so that she could help Chrissy to dye it into place. Chrissy was so thoughtful.
While the color set they played their favourite Twin sister game: “Lets repeat each other!”
Teigan was so good at it!
Chrissy would say a phrase, and then Teigan would say that phrase back to her, and then Chrissy would put on a silly voice and repeat it back to her again. They would go around and around and Teigan ALWAYS won because Teigan only had to say things ONCE, but Chrissy would say them lots of times until she was happy. Sometimes when they played, Teigan would be REALLY QUIET and Chrissy would play the game with Teigan’s phone and she would say things in her funny voice like:
“Ooh Mikey! I miss you SOO much. No, I can’t wait to be back either. Hopefully only a few more weeks and the doctors will have taken care of me. Love you too.”
Teigan always laughed along with her when she’d finished playing that game. She would definitely have to try playing it with her Boyfriend Mikey when she went back to school.
Chrissy’s hair looked really good blonde.
Because she had always been blonde. It was silly how Teigan had never noticed. She was such a forgetful bimbo sometimes.
It was good that Chrissy reminded her that she wanted to shave her head down to the buzzcut.because of how identical it made them. It she shaved her blonde locks off then she could wear the blonde wig on special occasions and look Identical to Chrissy!
Chrissy was so smart.
Daddy ignored Teigan when he came to pick up Chrissy for her hospital visit. He had been talking to her at first but then Chrissy had reminded him of something important.
“Ignore her Daddy. She’s nodody. I’m your ONLY real daughter. Remember….?” And then daddy had forgotten her. He had helped carry all of her bags to the car because she did not want to stumble in her designer boots on the wet path outside.
Chrissy was so careful.
It was nice that she had borrowed all of Teigan’s old clothes.so she could show them off to the hospital people.
Teigan sat on the couch for the month and ate ice cream from the tub, just exactly like she had always wanted.
Teigan heard Chrissy’s Pink stilletto heels on the front path before the door opened.
She was so Jealous of how perfect Chrissy looked in her tight pink minidress with the flared skirt.
Chrissy was so pretty!
Her new face made her even more identical now! And her new boobs filled out the bras perfectly. She minced past Teigan and out towards their shared bedroom with daddy following close behind carrying her bags.
Teigan followed, waddling as fast as her chubby legs would take her.
“Ignore the bitch” Chrissy had said back to daddy, but Teigan knew they must be talking about something she didnt understand.
In their bedroom, Chrissy stared at herself in the mirror.
She rotated her head side to side and smiled broadly with her shiny new teeth.
“Perfect” she whispered. “I’m finally Teigan!”
Teigan thought that was silly, but Chrissy explained that sometimes twins are SO identical that they can’t tell who is who.
And Teigan understood that Chrissy would be a much better Teigan than Teigan had been.
Because after all, Teigan was skinny and flexible and lithe and toned, while she was fat and unlikeable. Teigan had long, flowing, beautiful blonde hair, while she only had an ugly buzzcut. And of course, Teigan had a stuff of a boyfriend named Mikey who was just waiting for her to come back to school after her time away while she, the new Teigan reminded her, was fugly, and unloveable, and had never been outside.
Teigan plopped herself down on her bedspread and punched a number into her phone with a single, pink, polished french tip.
“Hey Mkey! Guess who’s out of hospital and almost ready to come back. Oh no, its absolutely perfect. Nobody will ever guess. Perfect down to the last detail, cant you tell from the voice? I know I sound like her, thats kind of the point. What did you think I’ve been doing the past 4 months? Oh she’s right here. Stupid cunt has no idea at all. Want to come around? We can fuck like rabbits on her bed. Daddy? Oh he wont notice or care. Old bastard would probably be happy to watch. Trust me. We’ve got everything we ever wanted. See you soon baby. Love you too!”
She looked up at the misshapen vaguely girl-like blob at the foot of her new bed and scowled.
“Well?” she snorted. “What are you still doing there? Get in your kennel”
The figure turned without even a tear, and squeezed her enormous bulk inside the tiny closet.
It made sense of course. She had to sleep somewhere and she couldn’t keep sharing a bed with Teigan.
After all, teigan didnt have any sisters, just a creepy, fat, pervert that lived in her closet.
Out of nostalgia, she would call him Chris.
I love this story. Ive probably read it 100 times. If it is only a rough draft you should finish it
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it. I wrote it in a bit of a flurry of enthusiasm one night and then wasn't sure what to do with it.
A writer who's work I love sent me some suggestions on how to flesh it out about a year ago but I'm entirely too intimidated to try and pick it apart so I have no idea what I'd do with it.
