Episode 4: Chapter 5: The Midnight Train

“My stepbrothers, who were twins, were almost exactly one year older than I was. They were the closest thing to pure evil I have ever encountered. Our parents hadn’t even married yet when one of them strangled me until I was nearly unconscious, a friend intervening and pulling him off from on top of me just in time.

I was 15 when that same twin held a butcher knife to my throat and, again, a friend intervened.”
