“It will take some getting used to,” Coco said. The house was an antithesis of the one she had left behind. The stark disparity would be a reminder of her sins, she told herself. Poetic justice, some might say.
The kitchen haunted Coco the most, with its achingly simple décor. Her sister, Jane, called it modest. If names described one’s personality, theirs were absolutely fitting. While Coco wagered off her father’s inheritance on luxuries and expensive indulgences, Jane preferred a humble existence.
The headline caught her eye: “Bankrupt style diva dies of drug overdose.” Coco smiled as she slipped into her twin sister’s life.

On A Polysyllabic Note... 
Oooh nice twist at the end. Spooky even. Just one technical critique. I don’t think you need the apostrophe at the end of theirs. It’s possessive without it.
Thanks a lot Rochelle. Corrected the mistake!
Cheers!
Hi Heta,
Wow, a double twist. My head is spinning! Ron
Thanks Ron!
that was a tale that left me reeling! Nicely done.
I am glad you liked it.
Excellent! I really like the evil switcheroo. What I want to know is what parents name their daughters Coco and Jane, you know? Maybe Coco was originally Constance or Corrine . . . do you think?
Hmmm… maybe their parents actually liked Jane Austen and Coco Chanel! Or then maybe, Coco was indeed short for Constance, Colette, or Corrine….
Take your pick! 🙂
Oh, and mine is here: http://wrasselings.blogspot.com/2012/10/friday-fictioneers-experience.html
Over to yours now!
Good twist…and Rochelle’s right about “theirs”. No apostrophe needed.
Thanks! Yes, kicked the apostrophe out!
Excellent twist on this – very sinister. Well done.
Thanks for dropping by Sandra.
Ooh. The evil twin. Loved it.
Yeah, the evil twin is quite charming!
Dear Heta,
This was simple, yet delightfully complex. I loved the mystery, the twin sister’s opposite personalities and the unanswered questions the last sentence rbings into focus.
Aloha,
Doug
