“One of Us Knows” (post 2) A Thriller by Alyssa Cole

“In movies about DID, switches between headmates are comically dramatic and outsiders can easily tell who’s who. In reality, we were created as a defense mechanism, and the best defense is keeping our multiplicity secret—even from one another. It’s not as hard as people think; singlets have changing moods and demeanors too. The average person’s changeability is our camouflage" (1, p. 124).
