Childhood

"Look Danny! Its starting!" Laurel quickly sits with her popcorn in hand. "The Little Mermaid", she whispers. "Remember Maura used to show us this!" The moon shines softly on the grass outside. Almost flickering like a little candle-flame.

"You know we didn't always used to be this you Danny. I'm sure you remember most of all.  You know I would've done anything to make Maura understand. Well... If she could understand. You're mu brother Danny. My twin brother. You know I'll do anything for you. Through thick and thin, we have each other. I know you love your flowers Danny. I love them too, the real ones, but you have to let go of these people."

Laurel turns to Danny, who is blankly staring at the projector screen.

"We have to bury their hands Danny. This isn't right. These are people we're talking about... we're going to get caught. Maura deserves this. She was our mother. We killed her."

The moonlight flutters in Laurels eyes, as her tears begin to well up.

"We killed her Danny. I feel so guilty. We killed our own mother."
