The Doppelganger
The Doppelganger
Mike could not be sure at first, but when the man went to the bar to buy another pint of lager it was obvious; the man was identical to Mike. His double had the same receding brown hair, glasses and a nose, which Mike had often thought, was too large for his face.
He approached his doppelganger, who was clearly drunk, and introduced himself. Recognition flashed across the man's face and he smiled.
"I'm Steve"
the clone said, and extended his hand.
The explosion generated as matter annihilated antimatter destroyed both men, atomised the pub and most of Greater London.

In High School I was routinely confused with the other guy that looked a lot like me and was also just as geeky and good in math and science class. He was routinely called by my name.Phenopath wrote:ROU, it is well known amoungst quantum physicists that Steve is the antithesis of Mike (something to do with the spin on the quark?). You are right to be concerned.
My name is Steve. His name was Mike.
All those years spent in school together with catatrosphe looming a handshake away.
Too close, too close.
