The Shadow Twin

Summary

Sunny and I are twins.

Mom always says she wants to be fair, so she buys two identical copies of everything.

But during New Year's Eve, my sparklers were damp and wouldn't light no matter what.

I secretly swapped two of Sunny's.

The moment I lit them, sparks illuminated the joy in my eyes.

And also printed Mom's ugly face.

"Who told you to steal from your sister? I gave you yours and you're still not satisfied?"

"You like fireworks, right? Go then—"

She roughly pushed me out the door, forcing little me to go to the field to light the big fireworks.

The firework exploded with a bang.
