Wrote a short story, let me know what you think.

RE: Wrote a short story, let me know what you think.
It didn't feel much like a short story, more like an excerpt from a much longer piece.  On the whole, I didn't care for it.  Some of the transitions were sort of awkward, and the conflict between the grandmother and grandson was kind of murky.  A couple of the passages were needlessly repetitive (in one short paragraph, the word 'twin' is used four times).

I think it could be vastly improved by a thousand or so words expanding the nature of the conflict and making the resolution of it more detailed.
