It’s not giving too much away here to reveal that, although Bridget is dead, she’s far from gone, and that she and her sister have a definite paranormal connection. She seems closer to her deceased sister Bridget than she ever was before, and she seems to have an affinity for recognizing emotions associated with various inanimate objects. When Abigail finally returns to school a few months later, her teacher (and the story's narrator), Mary Watkins, notices that Abigail's behavior has changed in a number of ways. Or, at least there are two twins for the first couple of pages of the story, until Bridget is burned to death and Abigail badly injured trying to rescue her. "The Lucienne Twins" is the story of two kindergarten-aged twins, Abigail and Bridget. Something may have changed in the intervening years, however, since Petracci has definitely learned the calculus of creating a very chilling ghost story. I am a graduate of Georgia Tech, just like Leonard Petracci (albeit quite a few years earlier), which is the main reason I decided to download and read his story, "The Lucienne Twins." In my day, Tech was better known for training engineers rather than creative writers.
