Back to the Woods (Brother/Sister/Exploration)

*An Uncomfortable Introduction*

We grew up completely isolated from society.

No extended family, friends, social media, internet, television, or even a radio existed in our world.

I could tell you we simply didn’t have any signal, proper roads, or basic power lines due to our location. But it wouldn’t reveal the truth for the disconnected life my twin brother and I got to know.

Right from the start, our paranoid parents kept us hidden and off the grid. Only to raise us with their conspiracy theory about how every second person is really a being from another planet. And the mission of these beings is roughly based on inhabiting as many minds before they take over completely.

Nobody outside our small family could be trusted – ever.

So, all we had was each other for the better part of twenty years, surviving in the wilderness and keeping the lowest profile you can possibly imagine.

Looking back now, it’s quite something.

And I’m referring to the survival part.
