TWINFINITY:

The Onyx Ravens

A Novella by Chris Podhola

Riding Along in the Car

Jacob’s family was, by no means, well off. His dad was a farmer and his mom stayed at home. The vehicle they drove was 1999 Ford Windstar. It was not the fanciest vehicle in the world. It was, by every means, a vehicle in which got the job done. It didn’t have working air conditioning. It didn’t have a working radio, and it didn’t have shocks that did the job that they were intended to do. The ride was rough, so to speak, and smelled as if it were stored in a barn.

Carol Anne and Blake had both chased out after her, both of them passing Whitney on the sidewalk, and both of them going directly to Tommy after she had left through the front door. A mini argument had ensued, but ultimately the twins had won out. Neither Blake, nor Carol Anne was used to the twins insisting on anything so adamantly and they had both been stunned by it.
