In the heart of a bustling city, identical twins Emma and Olivia embarked on a new chapter of their lives as they entered college together. Born just moments apart, their connection was unlike any other a bond that transcended words and actions. As they stepped onto the vibrant campus of Williamsburg University, their journey of self-discovery would take unexpected turns, leading them to redefine their individual identities.
From their childhood days to high school graduation, Emma and Olivia had always been seen as a pair, inseparable and indistinguishable to most. But college was different – a realm where they were given the chance to forge their own paths, create their own narratives. The initial days were a whirlwind of introductions, orientations, and new faces. For the first time, they found themselves in different classes, living in separate dormitories.
Emma, the elder twin by mere minutes, was the extrovert, the social butterfly. She was quick to join clubs, attend parties, and immerse herself in the vibrant college life. Her warm smile and infectious laughter drew people towards her, and she found herself making friends from all walks of life. However, her exuberance often overshadowed her individuality, as acquaintances saw her as part of a dynamic duo.
Olivia, on the other hand, was more introspective and artistically inclined. She spent hours in the art studio, allowing her creativity to flow onto canvases and sculptures. Her reserved nature made it harder for her to form connections, but those who took the time to know her discovered a deep thinker with a passion for exploring the complexities of life. Olivia yearned to break free from the shadow of her twin, to be recognized for her own talents and aspirations.
As the semesters rolled by, Emma and Olivia found themselves gravitating towards different academic paths. Emma pursued a degree in business administration, embracing the world of numbers and strategies. Olivia, driven by her artistic inclinations, pursued fine arts with a focus on sculpture. Their separate journeys began to shape their perspectives, allowing them to view the world through their own unique lenses.
Yet, their bond remained unbreakable. They continued to share late-night conversations, offering support and encouragement to each other. But their experiences on campus began to reveal the intricacies of their individual identities. Emma discovered her passion for entrepreneurship, while Olivia's sculptures began to earn recognition in art exhibitions.
One fateful day, a prestigious art gallery expressed interest in displaying Olivia's work. Overjoyed and nervous, Olivia faced a dilemma – should she share this news with Emma and risk overshadowing her achievements, or should she embrace this moment as her own? Gathering her courage, Olivia decided to confide in Emma, hoping that their unbreakable bond would prevail.
In a quiet corner of their favorite café, Olivia nervously revealed the news. To her surprise, Emma's face lit up with genuine excitement. She hugged Olivia tightly, expressing her pride and admiration. In that moment, Olivia realized that their bond was not a shackle holding her back, but a foundation of unwavering support.
The art exhibition became a turning point. Emma stood beside Olivia, her heart swelled with pride as she watched her sister's work being admired by art enthusiasts and critics. Amid the praise, Emma was recognized as a pillar of Olivia's strength and inspiration, a role she embraced wholeheartedly.
With newfound clarity, Emma and Olivia began to navigate college life with a deeper understanding of their identities. Emma's talent for business flourished, and she founded a successful start-up, while Olivia's sculptures continued to inspire awe. Their achievements, though distinct, were celebrated by each other and their circle of friends.
As graduation day approached, the twins found themselves reflecting on their journey. Their experiences at Williamsburg University had allowed them to evolve as individuals while cherishing the unique bond they shared. Emma and Olivia understood that being identical twins wasn't about being the same person, but about being a support system for each other's growth.
On graduation day, they stood side by side, donning their caps and gowns, ready to face the world with newfound confidence. Their paths had diverged, yet they remained united by a bond that had weathered challenges and celebrated victories. As they tossed their caps into the air, Emma and Olivia looked at each other and smiled, knowing that their individual identities had enriched their lives beyond measure.
Their journey through college had transformed them from two halves of a whole into two individuals, each with their own dreams, passions, and stories to tell. And as they stepped into the next chapter of their lives, they carried with them the lessons of self-discovery, unity, and the enduring power of sibling bonds.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.

Why Just Write Is The Best Advice You Don’t Listen To
Before the last 6 months, I hadn’t written anything that wasn’t for my job or university for a number of years. I wanted to write more, I used to write all the time just for fun. I used to write poems and short stories that were just for me. I used to show them to certain members of my family but it was the process of writing them that I really enjoyed.
