George walked out into the middle of the street and picked up the piece of paper. It read: That wasn...

Work had been kinda stressful for her. She was ready to just forget about it all and get over whatever she had gone through that day. Upon arriving home, she took off her shoes and plopped down on the couch in front of her television. Pressing the button on the remote she noticed it wasn't working. Either her TV was on the fritz or her power was out. She reached over and clicked the lamp's switch. Nothing happened. "Oh don't worry about those, you won't be needing them." A female voice said. It was her voice. Jennifer turned around to see herself standing in the entry way of the kitchen. "Don't freak out, I'm you." The other Jennifer said. "Call me Jenny." Jennifer stood up slowly. She hadn't used the nickname Jenny in a long time. Not si...
