Mute #1

I have waited almost eighteen years for this moment. Bullied and mocked, they called me a mute. As a fraternal twin born from heteropaternal superfecundation two eggs, two sperm, two babies my twin brother Kyle had the life I never did. My stepdad, Kyle’s father, never wanted me, and my biological father was a mysterious figure from my mother’s past. My mother, taking Clomiphene to conceive, couldn’t risk an abortion when she found out she was pregnant with me. Despite my stepdad’s objections, she chose to keep me. Now, eighteen years later, a transformation is about to take place. I am no longer the quiet outcast. Cryptic messages and a powerful dream have revealed my destiny. I wake up to find a black suit, shiny black shoes, and a premium limited edition card marked with my initials and “#1.” I am #1. My dark days are over. Everything is about to change.
