00:33 As already foretold by modern technology, Mrs. Little would give birth to a certain abnormality.
00:42 The sight gave her a fright and a little unease.
00:45 They weren't just twins, they were Siamese.
00:49 Doctor, said she, can nothing be done?
00:52 We'll try anything to save our daughter and son.
00:56 Don't worry, he replied, they'll be quite fine.
01:00 But we cannot disjoint the connection to the spine.
01:04 You see, he continued, they may be two, but
01:07 there's only one brain in this curious brew.
01:10 Two heads together, but only one brain.
01:14 And yet Larry and Rachel were not the same.
01:18 Separate individuals, few things they shared, but
01:22 divided on the middle was how they were paired.
01:26 By many, their parents were regarded with respect, an honor they feared risked
01:32 being wrecked.
01:33 Embarrassed, they offered them no discipline nor guidance,
01:37 catalyst only to their twin's tragic subsidence.
01:41 Left-brained Larry, he cared for science, but
01:47 right-brained Rachel had a more abstract reliance.
01:51 Larry read and experimented too past the time,
01:54 trying to create horrible monsters of slime.
01:59 He loved analysis, measure, and deduction, but
02:02 Rachel was of a more imaginative construction.
02:07 She would write mostly and paint and draw, and
02:10 philosophize about people and things that she saw.
02:14 Their differences made them a diametrical pair,
02:19 doomed to a life of neglect and despair.
02:22 One day, they received a huge harangue from the Thompson Quadruplets,
02:28 a notorious gang.
02:30 They put on a most tantalizing display, shouting and
02:34 pointing and running quickly away.
02:38 Neither Larry nor Rachel showed grief or frustration, but
02:42 swore in their hearts an ultimate retaliation.
02:45 For years, books and bullies were all that they knew,
02:50 as their brain got smarter and their bodies grew.
02:54 But it wasn't until adolescence came along that a solution finally shined,
03:00 bright and strong.
03:02 It was Larry who made the initial discovery,
03:05 whilst reading an article on neuroanatomy.
03:09 Slowly, he spoke with much hesitation.
03:12 He had never been skilled at common communication.
03:17 Listen, said Larry, I may be wrong,
03:21 but using the whole brain could make us quite strong.
03:26 According to research, there is this one way that maybe could rid us of that
03:33 daily dismay.
03:34 If our brain per se was one active unity,
03:38 we could turn our thoughts into pure energy.
03:42 Perhaps if we concentrated for many hours,
03:48 we could even get telekinetic powers.
03:53 Right, replied Rachel, she needed hardly think,
03:56 her creative mind could easily see the link.
03:59 If the tragedy around us would finally cease,
04:03 then perhaps you and I could get our peace.
04:06 For the first time ever, she looked deep into his eyes and
04:11 said to him, I love you, you're the one I don't despise.
04:15 For months, they worked with pure determination,
04:20 with lots of practice and daily meditation.
04:24 It happened one day while sitting in the park,
04:29 that Larry and Rachel felt the first spark.
04:33 As time passed, their minds got stronger.
04:36 Soon they could concentrate for longer and longer.
04:41 One day they agreed that the time was right and
04:45 said to each other, we'll do it tonight.
04:49 But as they waited that evening for their parents to return,
04:54 Larry addressed Rachel with a voice of concern.
04:57 Have you considered, Rachel, if we actually have success,
05:02 what will happen to us if we become parentless?
05:06 >> [SOUND]
05:10 >> It was your idea, you made no mistake.
05:13 The problems that may follow is a risk we'll have to take.
05:19 Not sure that he agreed, Larry was still in doubt.
05:23 And as Rachel awaited his answer, her anger began to sprout.
05:29 Without even thinking, her annoyance took hold and
05:33 sparks began to form silver and gold.
05:37 In an act of panic, Larry tried to block his mind, but
05:42 the thoughts between them were already too entwined.
05:45 Rachel tried to stop it, but she was losing all control.
05:51 The evil in her thoughts was devouring her soul.
05:54 Soon after, the air was lit with thunder,
05:59 as the living room was being torn asunder.
06:03 A heavy wind blew all around as Larry and Rachel were lifted off the ground.
06:09 The walls started to crackle and creak.
06:12 Their mutual power was reaching its peak.
06:15 And then happened the unexpected.
06:20 The twin couple could no longer reject it.
06:24 An ending came to the grief and despair.
06:27 When Larry and Rachel suddenly vanished into the air.
06:33 [SOUND]
06:41 As they left Earth, not a prayer was sighed.
06:44 No one mourned and no one cried, except for
06:50 their mother, who shed a little tear.
06:54 The damages to the living room were, after all, quite severe.
