Tourist Trap: Framed by a Photographer Chapter 7
Derek shuddered at my words. "What the heck? You're giving me chills! Are you trying to say there are two of you in this world?"The spectators who had been enjoying the drama were also stunned."So, he's implying that someone who looks exactly like him stole his identity? How can there be such a coincidence? And how would that person know his blood type and height? They even have the same hairstyle!""You've got a point, but what about the medical records, then? Did he make the trip back and forth on the same day?""The hospital's records show that my appointment was at 4:00 pm. That means I would've been in the hospital by then. But the hotel's records show I checked in at 3:30 pm. Even if I took a flight, there's no way I could have traveled between the two cities in that amount of time. This proves that the person who checked in with my identity wasn't me."The officer's expression turned solemn. Even the crowd had serious expressions."If it's identity theft, isn't that a cr

The police officer's expression shifted. He eyed me strangely, as if he were looking at a lunatic.I couldn't believe it. Grabbing the phone back, I exclaimed angrily, "Mom! How can you say that about me? Are you trying to make everyone think I'm some kind of crazy madman?""It's not like I said anything wrong!" Mom fired back. Her voice was now weaker and evasive. "You were sick for a very long time! Whatever! Just get back here now! Stop running around and stirring things up. If you end up in trouble, don't expect me to bail you out!"The call cut off.I stood frozen with the phone still in hand. My eyes were already wet with tears.Feeling awkward, Derek gave me a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. "Hey, man. Sorry about everything. I didn't know you had a mental condition. I shouldn't have stuck my nose into your business today. Honestly, I feel kind of bad for you. I'll give you a refund, okay?"The person who'd been livestreaming quietly put away his phone as well."Whoa. I

I couldn't drop this matter without getting to the bottom of it. It would haunt me for the rest of my life.By this point, the spectators had more than enough fun from watching things play out, and even the police officer was starting to look tired. That was when I got a call from Mom.Ever since I left Lakeworth, she'd been calling me much more frequently. She kept acting like she was scared I'd waste all my money while hanging out with Christy. Time and time again, she told me to stop running around, rebuking me for already spending lavishly when I hadn't even earned much money after graduating from high school.In the past, whenever Mom called to lecture me, I would reject the call and call her back later that evening. However, I'd seen so many bizarre things today that I was starting to question my own memories.Therefore, when I saw Mom's name on the screen, for some reason, I answered the call and asked, "Mom, have I ever been to Sarlington before? Why have so many people fro

Had I really been to this hospital before?I had no memory of it at all.The head nurse didn't stop there. She also got one of the nurses to pull up the security footage from one of the days I'd supposedly come to the hospital for treatment.The footage showed me walking down a hospital corridor in a hospital gown, with one hand on my lower back as I limped along. To make sure we could get a clear look at the patient's face, the nurse deliberately found a front-facing angle, paused the footage, and zoomed in.When I saw the man in the footage sporting the same features and hairstyle as me, my mind went completely blank.The tourists who'd come along to watch the show were having a blast."See that? Six consultations with the proctology department! They need to test him for STDs.""You got that right. Things wouldn't have gotten this ugly if he'd just admitted that he dated multiple women before.""How do you know he didn't date them all at the same time? What a mess this is, bu

"Hello, is this the police? I'd like to make a police report. I suspect that someone has been using my identity. Could you please send someone over?"The receptionist frowned at me. Derek looked just as incredulous as he shook his head. He was acting like I was an incorrigible scumbag.Christy was already giving me the cold shoulder, scowling as she refused to say a word to me.A police officer soon arrived, and I explained the situation. Now that the police were involved, the receptionist had no choice but to pull up the security footage, in spite of her great reluctance.She started searching through the footage from three months ago. After nearly an hour of reviewing the footage, she was visibly losing her patience when she suddenly straightened up and called out in a raised voice, "I found it, officer!"The officer leaned in to see the footage, with Christy and me following suit.On the screen, a man who looked exactly like me had his arm around a young woman as they happily
Tourist Trap: Framed by a Photographer Chapter 2
With an unsettling feeling in my heart, I snatched Derek's phone, only to see a photo of a man who looked exactly like me. He was hugging a woman I'd never met before. The two of them were beaming widely.I was utterly dumbstruck.Meanwhile, Derek eyed me in annoyance and asked, "I've got other photos, too. Do you want to see them? I only saved these on my phone as samples to show my other customers. I didn't think I'd have to use them to prove that I'm not lying."I stood frozen for what felt like ages, unable to get over the shock.Christy grabbed the phone from me and started scrolling through it. She saw several photos of me with different women. In some, I was kissing their cheek. In others, I had my arm around their waist. Every single pose proved that I was in an intimate relationship with those women.Her expression was dark as she confronted me. "Ethan Reed! I demand an explanation from you!"I carefully went over the last 20 years of my life. I'd gone to school like eve
