Doppelganger Syndrome Novels & Stories

My hand dropped from his face and I turned to leave then the door opened. A younger, handsome doctor entered the room. My eyes stayed fixed on him, my heart beating as I watched him adjust his glasses. Then he cleared his throat, breaking my out of my trance. “Hi, I'm Doctor Xavier.” His name sounded familiar. He extended his hand for a handshake and I paused, looking at him from head to toe. The hair was the same, the face structure, the voice and… Oh my God, they had the same eyes.

I demanded. The figure slowly turned. Its face. My face. A mirror image. "Your greatest fear," Amara whispered. My mind reeled as I stared at my duplicate. "Who are you?" I repeated. The doppelganger's voice echoed mine. "I am the shadow you've denied," it said. "Your darkest self." Amara stepped forward. "This is the trial," she explained. "Face your inner demons."

Sydney clenched her fists, "Do you remember Finn said that when a mental illness got severe enough, the patient might develop a dual personality. Earlier, when Finn started Cay's psychotherapy, he had told me that it was very likely for Cay to develop a dual personality. It turned out it really happened." Syndey looked at Cayden with complicated eyes. Cayden smiled at her as if he was completely unaware that he was the patient Sydney was talking about. Luke was shocked, "I've seen on TV before that some people would develop a dual personality after they had some huge blow. Did the whole thing about you falling off the cliff stimulate him, so this guy occurred?" Luke pointed at Cayden.

I stared at the police car in front of me, feeling utterly incredulous. "I'm not gonna smash it! That's a crime!" The system in my mind said coldly, "If you don't self-sabotage, you'll die." I did not believe it at first. Half an hour ago, I suddenly heard the system's voice in my mind. It told me that I was the male protagonist in a tragic story that would end in my death. I would be kicked out after the love of Clara's life, Maxey Tyler, returned to the country.
