This is the sequences of a "story" that was put together by a group I was assigned to be in. This story was organized and written in an interesting way, items were constructed to my group and we were expected to create a story out of the items (a ring spider, toy tea cup, measuring tape, Sergent mask, and nail clippers). Hope you enjoy!!
In the summer of 1983, Dr. Hamman met Natalie. There were sparks, and before they knew it Natalie became pregnant. They soon wed.
Around the fifth month the happy couple found out that not only would the baby be a boy, they were having twins. They chose the names Sean and Sidney. However, when the twins were born, they brought an odd surprise with them—they were literally joined at the hip. There was a hurried operation as the boys were separated before being given to their awaiting mother.
Without warning, the arguments began. Dr. Hamman often stormed out of the house. It didn’t take long for Natalie to decide she was fed up and begin divorce proceedings. Hamman was devastated; this was probably the point when his mental decline began.
Each parent had custody of one of the twins. Then, when they were fourteen, Sean and Sidney were both enrolled in Phoenix High School.

High school was a real bore. Teachers’ droning, homework assignments, heavy textbooks—and, of course, detentions. Sidney slammed his locker in a burst of defiance. It really wasn't fair; he had only been a minute late, because his watch was broken.
Of course, you couldn't tell that to Mrs. Hamilton, the strictest teacher in the school district. She didn't supervise the detentions she handed out, but for all Sidney knew, the teacher in charge of that might be worse.
Running out of ways to stall, he finally headed to the dreaded door.
The room was surprisingly quiet, but it was an imposed silence. He headed over to a chair in the corner without looking at anyone and immediately started his homework. He certainly didn't want to offend anyone who had ended up in this dank classroom.
After a few agonizingly slow minutes, he felt someone watching him. Sidney glanced up somewhat nervously—and nearly fell out of his chair.
The face staring back at him was his own.
