Inspiration for my short story, “Evil Twin”:
Story inspirations are weird.
I wrote “Evil Twin” for a friend at the time, in empathy for her past family trauma and because I wanted to write a Vonnegut-esque short story. Turned out this friend was a subset of Real Bad Person and I’d accidentally hit on some stuff she didn’t want anyone to know about. Instead of being glad to read the story, she was quietly pissed. I only figured out why muuuuch later.
I try to be careful with people’s secrets that I’m not supposed to know.
But yannow.
