My life with the Kosher Nostra is chaos…but it’s a chaos that I thrive in. Money, violence, women, and sarcasm. About a year and a half ago, the consequences of my lifestyle caught up with me, dropping a sickly 5 month old baby boy on my doorstep. His mother is gone, and I’m left trying to navigate a world filled with doctor’s appointments, constant monitoring, and stress. I have a son, but I’m not meant to be a father. My twin sister and I are not like other people. We are detached, cold, calculating. We make the difficult decisions that the softer members of our family cannot. And I’ve lived that way for almost 30 years, but my father’s disappointment and my mother’s constant nagging drive me to a support group for help.
And it changes my life irrevocably and completely.
Dammit, I hate it when my mom is right.

Tovah
My twin Tevye has always operated under the assumption that he and I do not feel. We don’t emote. Our souls are black and our hearts are made of ice. I know differently. Always have. But I ain’t telling him…he’ll figure it out on his own, the schmuck.
In the meantime, I’m living life on my terms, not a single regret…until I purposefully put myself in the line of fire and get a nifty new hole in my upper chest as a result. While I’m out cold, my secrets come to light.
And it changes my life irrevocably and completely.
Dammit, it turns out I do have one regret…not coming clean earlier.
