Duke and Finnigan sat across from each other at the campfire, breathing light clouds of chilled breath. “We need to keep moving, the wolves will be patrolling soon”, Luke muttered while drinking warm water from his kettle. “I don’t know if I can get up Finny”. A howl echoed through the night. “You have to, I can’t make it to the generators by myself”. Duke stretches out his hand and tosses a rusty key to Finnigan. “When you turn the power back on, come back this way. If I'm still here, we can go home together.”

If Only For Today
Lily crept up the stairs into the attic, quiet and gentle. She pulled out the key she took from her mothers jewelry box and inserted it in the time worn key hole. Dust scattered across the floor as the door swung open into the desolate loft. There were many boxes, some open and others closed, hidden in the shadows. Lily walked past these, heading for a tall, daunting object with a tarp covering. Lifting the veil of sorts, she saw only her own reflection before returning to the attic door, locking it till her mother left again the next day.

Seeing from the other side
So, after getting some blood work done, I was told that I had traces of another human in my blood, which means it's a dead twin. This happens when a set of twins is in the same wound, and 1 twin dies during development and gets absorbed by the stronger twin as nutrients. Basically, resulting in the surviving baby as a chimera.
