My Metamorphosis

As  I awake from a deep sleep, I awake to find myself transformed. I get out of my bed and walk to the kitchen. I hear my brother downstairs shuffling through the cupboards trying to find cereal for breakfast and i walk into the bathroom to take a shower. As I hoop out of the shower and dry off and put on my clothes I walk out of the room to see a stranger awaiting me at the door. He was the same height as I, and looked to be 18. With a sense of fear I blurt, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" But the stranger looks right back me with the same confusion on his face. As we stood staring at one another, i notice that my brother had stopped making noice downstairs. Who is this guy? Did he hurt my brother? As I try to come to some rational reason for this person to be standing right across from me, it hits me. Like a fastball to the side of the kidneys, I realized that i was staring back at my brother, but we were not the same. I had awoken to the reality that i was not an identical twin. I was just mark's brother, not twin brother. It took a moment for both of us to process we were actually two different people from different eggs and sperm. I could no longer look at my reflection without a mirror anymore. It was odd having this new sense of independency and the reality that i was no longer recognized as just the other half, i had a name that no one would get mixed up with, purely independent and on my own.
