“But I love you, Miranda. You can’t go.” James bumped lightly into her, knocking her back several steps.
“There’s nothing left for me here. Not since April fell over in the corner there.” Miranda’s limp body brushed slightly against James.
“Then I will have to come with you,” James persisted. He lifted an arm in protest.
“It’s far too dangerous. What happens when your father finds out where you’ve gone?” Her jaw drooped with an air of emotion.

“James, there’s something I need to tell you.”
“You can tell me anything, Miranda.” James placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
“There’s someone else. I am running away to meet him now.”
Just then, Timothy entered.
“It is true, James. Miranda is with me now.” He hobbled with purpose.
“No. It can’t be true. Miranda, how could you leave me for my lost evil twin Timothy?”
Miranda just stared blankly. Gripped with emotion, James reached down and took a bite out of Miranda’s shoulder. She let out a scram of agony. Then, she swatted him. James fell to the ground and Miranda squatted beside him.
“Why couldn’t you just let things be the way they are? You could have found someone else,” she moaned, as she began to eat his fallen corpse. Shortly thereafter, Timothy joined in. Then, they started a new life together, putting the past behind them.
