• I was at home when I saw it in the paper. It was a missing child ad- one that I saw almost every day. Normally, I would pay little attention to the ads. But this one was special.
    The children in the photo looked exactly like my little twin girls, Ariela and Talia. Ariela had looked so much like the Disney princess I'd given her a similar name. She had long, dark red hair, streaked with gold and brunette, and bright blue eyes. Talia had brunette hair and dark emerald green eyes. Both were small and thin, with a splash of freckles across their tiny, straight noses.
    But the strangest thing was, they hadn't been missing. They were upstairs, tucked into bed. Even though they had been acting strangely for the past month or so, they looked exactly the same.
    Still, though...
    I snatched a photo of the two little girls from the mantle and marched upstairs to see if it really was my duaghters lying in the bedrooms.
