Two Daniel

Summary

This is a short story rewrite I wrote when I was 10-12 years old, around the year 2000, based on my memories.
Daniel had a dream life, a perfect life, until he discovered he’s a clone.

Two Daniel

Daniel had a dream life, a perfect life.

He got good grades in school.

He was never intimidated.

When he was 12, he even managed to go out with Ophelia, the most popular girl in school!

But everything changed during his teenage years, during his 16 years, the day his male friends made a bet to sleep in the abandoned mine at night.

Daniel accepted the bet.

He went to the mine in the middle of the night.

On the way, he had a strange vision.

He sees himself being hit by a car.

He sees himself dying on the road.

He sees a bloodstain on the ground.

Then the vision ceases.

Daniel finds this scary, but he hasn't gone back home.

In the mine's many tunnels, Daniel found a secret room with a strange futuristic machine. A huge machine with a kind of container.

He has another vision.

He sees another Daniel emerge from the machine's container. This Daniel leaves the room.

It was then that Daniel realized who he really is.

He's a clone.

The Second Daniel.

The First having died on the road, killed by the car.

Daniel doesn't know who created the machine, why it exists or what happened to his original self’s corpse.

But he doesn't care.

He's just a copy.

And his life won't be perfect anymore!


* In the original French version, Ophelia is called Ophélie.
