While looking at myself in the mirror located in a small hallway of an apartment, checking to see anything that would make me look bad during the interview for a job, I realize that I would be late if I don't get a move on.
Once I left my apartment complex I saw that it was getting closer to the meeting time and it's still located across the city
I decided to start running down the sidewalk to try to find the nearest taxi when I realized something.
‘Wait a minute, why are there no cars driving down the street, where is everyone?’
I got suspicious that something may have happened somewhere down the road that blocked off the streets over here.
Deciding to put the appointment as more important I keep running to see if I can somehow find a taxi, and once I get to the next block I see a lone person, about 15 feet in front of me just standing there looking in my direction. I knew that something was wrong so I stopped running and waited what that person would do ‘I’m in the middle of downtown Chicago but there's no other human around besides this person? This is totally when something bad happens during a horror movie’
I decided to speak as if I'm totally not thinking the other person is a murderer, but as if I'm completely clueless about what's happening.
“Hey! Do you know where everyone else is?”
Once I yelled that the other person just fell face forward onto the ground.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
I start to take this seriously, while panicking thought something happened to the person, so I decided to go check up on the person while calling 911. I reached the person and turned them over so I can see their face, and once I did the person I saw...was me?!
Brown hair, white, with a skinny looking face, and with the beard cleanly shaven just like mine…
I checked his heartbeat and there was no pulse. “Holy shit it's a dead body” I never seen a dead human only at my grandfather's funeral. It's especially surreal since it looks like me...
I realized that I was still on the phone with 911, and brought my ear to my phone to listen.
‘Hello? If there is someone there please respond’
“Y-yes I saw someone just die I’m currently on ####### St”
‘Okay can you give us your name’
“ Yes, my name is J-”
for some reason, I couldn't say my name, no matter how many times I tried.
‘What the hell is going on?’
All of a sudden I started feeling dizzy, I fell to the ground since I couldn’t keep my balance anymore. “H-help” I try to talk to the operator but didn’t hear anything back.
I then realized that my phone wasn’t in my hand anymore but was in someone else's hand, the person was crouching looking down at me with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
The person was me!
I was shocked and confused when he started talking “Y-Yes I don’t know please send someone quick!”
He then ended the call and said to me.
“Have a nice time in another world Nicholas Malbourne”.
Before I can ask what's he talking about, the world turned white.
