Twins of Distance

A Story by Abishai100

Amazing dualism tale of separated immigrant twins who happen to (ironically) both become American sports-dreamers.

Can twins really be that different? Here's a twins-vignette, inspired by Twins.

Twins, separated at birth, both from Algeria, Amlan and Ajay Satan, moved to the United States, separately, and became baseball-card(s) collectors!

They both lived in NYC, and they both lived as hermits in luxurious NY apartments. However, they didn't know each other existed! Their parents had them separated during political turmoil(s) in Algeria and had them unconscious of their sibling status! Amlan/Ajay both lived in NYC as baseball-card(s) collecting hermits.

"There's something special about American spirit(s) that makes cards-collecting reflective of capitalism" (Babe).

Amlan married a Jets cheerleader (Sandy) and was in 'love' with the American spirit(s) behind sports-media/marketing!

Ajay married a gorgeous American soccer-league reporter named Tandy and loved her and the idea of soccer as a substitute for 'football' in Western civilization!

It's ironic that these two 'brothers' (twins!) of sports-cards/market(s) would be perhaps/arguably compared to the spirited Bollywood (India) superstars Raghuvaran and Amitabh, since they'd both become cyber-market 'celebrities' for baseball-cards, though they simply thought of themselves as 'laissez-faire card(s) market rivals.'

AMLAN: I think I'll attend a Mets game at Citi-Field, since everyone thinks I'm a hermit in my cyber-chats.

AJAY: I think I'll go to a Mets game at Citi-Field, since my cyber-card(s) market associates think I'm a hermit.

These two Algerian-American 'twins' went to the same Mets game (at Citi-Field!) and brought with them some nifty baseball cards. Amlan brought his Darryl Strawberry card(s), and Ajay his Dwight Gooden card(s). They both wanted to show-off these cards. We all know that Strawberry and Gooden are arguably the greatest batter-pitcher duo in a single sports-team in Western history! It's truly ironic that these twins had these two 'duo' cards at the same Mets (Citi-Field!) game after coming out of their hermitage in NY.
