3. The Twin You Never Had

Today was a wonderful sunny day, which is quite strange since here in England the weather tends to be rather unforgiving.

Somehow this strangely pleasant day was my day off so I dressed something very casual after my morning jog and shower and went out the door with a book under my arm and my bag over my shoulder.

Soon after exiting the Underground lounging on a bench in Hyde Park, quietly reading my book, "All the Bright Places" by Jennifer Niven.

I was already halfway through chapter 7 when, out of the blue, someone appeared, racing toward someone. She, a person I had never met, then created the biggest mess of my life.

She moved furiously, one leg in front of the other, quickly approaching this side of the previously quiet path. Waving around her arms as she cussed all types of profanities, her face was lobster-red and her breathing hitched. 

"Hey! YOU!" She screams, looking like she was directing her anger at me when I hadn't done anything bad this month, or this lifetime. Please note the sarcasm in the sentence.

She then moved out of the shrubbery and became fully visible. Her mile-long legs were covered in thigh denim jeans, her white blouse showing her black bra a bit more than necessary and letting the world see her tanned arms through its ends. I gasped the moment I saw her face, though.

She looked exactly like me! I immediately stood up as a reflection of me was now less than 2 meters away.

"Stop staring and fucking fix the mess you made," she continued to scream, "you are ruining my life! Can't you fucking see that? What the hell is wrong with you?!"

I can't move, I'm completely paralysed. She has the same jawline, nose and eye shape and she's also got straight brown hair and green eyes with bits of brown, just like me. She's a copy of me, but how can that be possible?

I based this on a writing prompt I found online, it's pretty awesome but I didn't want to finish it to see what you could come up with basing your story on this. A contest of sorts, would that be awesome? I might even make turn this into a book of my own, one day.

Either way, let me know what you think and if you do write the rest of this story please tell me so I can read it!
