There's something a bit unnerving about Jill Summers' short fiction piece, Stuck Landing. Equal parts gentle and biting, the story tells of twin brothers who've recently lost their mother and paints a compelling picture of a life without. It's kind of brilliant.Jeremy and I are twins but not the creepy kind. And we have red hair but, and you are just going to have to trust me on this, not the upsetting kind. We’re identical and I think Jeremy looks a lot younger, but Dad said we came out side by side, both of us at the exact same time, whistling Dixie. When Jeremy asked if he was serious, Dad smacked him on the forehead and told him no one wanted to hear which one of us was forty-five goddamn seconds older than the other.
You can read Stuck Landing over on the 'Paper Darts' website.
