Sightings Of Doppelgangers In The South
Here in the south, doppelgangers are a common sight. It is not rare to walk around a strange town and find two identical individuals with characters so diverse, together they would make a lovely fruit pie. But, these individuals have never met.
“The phenomena is a strange one, but certainly not a new one,” said Dr. Felix Montgomery, specialist in cloning and twin research.
Of course, doppelgangers sightings can be traced back to Egyptian spirit doubles and Nordic vardøger, ghosts that stalk and follow their double.
“The most curious aspect of the anomaly is that doppelgangers can never meet… to meet your clone would be like staring into one's own soul,” the doctor continued, “I don't know what it is, but the synchronized waves of the universe simply don't allow it.”
And although he later remarked something like it being impossible as stepping into a mirror, a case or two have been reported. Is the doctor right? Can one never meet his doppleganger?
The word doppelganger is literally translated from German to double-goer introduced by Jean Paul in Siebenkäs, a short novel which his wife abhorred. And in the subject of wives, poet John Donne anecdotes the horrendous effect which a sighting can produce: “I have seen my dear wife pass twice by me through this room, with her hair hanging about her shoulders, and a dead child in her arms.” And the vision induced nightmares, followed by dreams, and more nightmares.
A recent survey conducted by the Peruvian PIA found that the phenomena has become so popular that local news has put a spotlight on “Eat Yourself,” a restaurant in Viru, Peru, which has been offering bizarre meals for decades. The meal consists in customers cloning themselves with technology that replicates human details, thus instantly creating a full fleshed doppelganger of a hungry customer… and for the moralists, there is a sign on the front desk that reads: “All clones lack a soul.” The brand new doppelganger is then baked into a pie, souffle, creme-brulee or anything within reach of the cook!
Lester La Fu, owner and manager, confessed the original idea was to somehow lure doppelgangers together and make them eat each other in front of a live TV audience.
“Everything was set up already,” he said, “except we faced the impossibility of making doppelgangers meet… somehow something silly always got in the way.” Pity. The restaurant has been open for almost a decade, but only recently is it seeing the fruit of the massive investment.
If a pair of doppelgangers are spotted it is certainly a omen of the worst kind. Preferably turn around or keep those lookers shut.
