On a cold dreary night Marge and Mark took off on their journey. They're both unique people who travel the world alone. Marge from Venezuela and Mark from Germany. Time wasnt something of importance to either one of them. Strolling down the sidewalk on a foggy midnight walk Mark accidentally bumps into Marge's shoulder. He turns around quickly apologizing. After noticing she was walking alone in the dark he offered to walk her home. She informed him she was a traveler and wasn't from there. They walked around the corner to a park bench where they talked well into the morning hours. They were astonished at how much they had in common. Sadness crept over them as they said their final goodbyes knowing they'd never see each other again. It was like they had known each other their entire lives. Taking off preparing for their next journey exploring destinations ahead. It seemed they were lost without the other one around. Odd as they both enjoyed traveling alone yet couldn't stop thinking of each other. Things seemed strange after their encounter. A month goes by when they both booked a room at the same motel room. As Mark gets into the elevator they run into each other. Unable to contain their excitement they make small conversation making plans for the following day. Marge grabs her coat before walking out the door. As she arrives at the little coffee shop downtown she recognizes Mark from the corner of her eye. They both order their favorite coffee. What do you know they order the exact same thing. After coffee they go for a stroll down memory lane without a clue. As they near the hospital Marge asks Mark if he'd like to go in with her. Why here he thinks in astonishment. For this is the hospital he was born at. Without second thought they go into the electric doors hand in hand. Reaching the reception desk Marge asks for her birth records. They were both born at the same hospital on the same day at the same time. This raised a lot of concern for the both of them so Mark asked for his medical records as well. Upon closer examination they come to the realization that they're twins.
