Chapter 4 we’d like to speak to your supervisor


I feel discarded. I was born as a clone, but damnit I’m me. However, who do I have. the person I was cloned from doesn’t want me. I’m not a citizen of any country. I don’t have a dime to my name. Where do I go from here? I guess I could ask the person who started all this. The person who cloned me. I have all these memories of the person I was cloned from’s past, but theyre all lies. Yesterday never existed. I am just a cruel joke created for the sake of nostalgia. But I’ve got to do something. thankfully, I’m being a tad melodramatic. Yesterday, I lived in the house I always lived in. Today, I found out I was a clone. There’s a hidakey under a rock in the backyard. It goes to the backdoor. I may not be welcome there, but it seems like a good start.

Anyway, I got nothing. I vaulted effortlessly over a small wooden fence. I landed normally but placed two hands down like a cat to steady myself. I didn’t want to make noise. I was to be as inconspicuous as possible which was of course possible with 10 clones behind the wooden fence. I grabbed my old cellphone and typed in the unlock code. there was a door behind her room, closed shut. I guess it wasn’t relevant, but I’d thought i’d mention it.

I stole my own phone. At least that’s how I saw it. I mean I’d leave it, but I guess I’m just kind of lost. As I’m sure you are reading my account. I called a friend I hadn’t heard of in 10 years. Hopefully her number hadn’t changed.

-Monica

-Is this Jennifer. Id never thought I’d hear from you again it. I’m tired call tomorrow.


- I need to call andy

- I didn’t know you liked andy. I thought you were with joey.

- No it’s nothing like that

-you wake me at 4:30 in the morning. It better be important.

-It is important

-then tell me why you are calling after you haven’t talked to me in 10 years.

-fine I’m in love with andy.

-I’d be too much work. I think I have his number on an old phone. hopefully he’s one of the last people that called me on it.

-here’s his number 666 666 6666

-did you like andy

-sure (hangs up)

I dial the number.

-hello this is andy of andysbot.com. what would you like to talk about

-a... andy jennifer won’t let me live here. you caused this problem, so it’s up to you to fix it.

I waited a day but never got a reply. the phone was on standby but there was no way it was going to last another day. I looked on andysbot.com and his first and last name was on the site. When I was cloned so were all my credit card’s and money. Although I didn’t have much money. With my last 30 dollars I purchased a debit gift card and did a background check on andy of andysbot.com.

I found out andy was in a mental hospital, and I was nowhere near there. we thought about hitching a ride. The problem is 10 identical people side by side is kind of conspicuous. We did have a dollar left. I payed the male bus driver the one dollar. the rest of us sidled up close to the cash reader and adjusted our cleavage. Maybe we were making it more apparent that something was up. However, since we were so close to the cash reader and the bus driver wasn’t really paying attention. It wasn’t much of an issue.

we actually made it to the mental hospital.

-Id like to visit an andy zigamarang

-no such person exist

-what do you mean they don’t exist.

-Here is their name in the phone book

-that is not normal behavior. please stop making a scene or we will escort you to the unit.

the other jennifer’s followed.

One jennifer watched from the other side as someone entered the code that locked the door.

Another jennifer waited to prop the door open when enough time had passed.

another jennifer was there to rely information to the jennifer that had the keycode information.

See what the jennifer’s needed was another name. A name of someone they’d let them see.

the jennifer that waited to prop the door open let the jennifer that had been captured know the plan.

Afterwards the jennifer that waited to prop open the door got led back into the waiting room by the jennifer with the keycode.

And somehow noone found this suspicious at all.

-You’re an angel

-why thank you

-No look I’m an archangel and your’e an angel

-what’s your name

-Gabriel

-Look noone believes. but in revelations.

-what do the people here call you

-joe schmoely

-Why do you think you’re an angel

- because we need angels right now

I got the name and was horrified when I realized the problem in the plan. The other jennifer couldn’t hear me on the other side.

I thought all hope was lost, but then a phone rang.

-Don’t pick up that phone

But of course I picked it up

-the code is 8675309

-are you sure

-yes

my medication was severely increased. great. I woke up.

The other jennifers sat in the waiting room waiting for it to all be over. They weren’t feeling hungry, but they weren’t sleeping. The uncomfortable chairs weren’t a pleasure to sleep in.

Unfortunately when I got phone time on my own terms, legitimate phone time was out of my reach. I tried to sneak out at night, but someone was watching me sleep. This was going to be a pain.

When I woke up. I gave the name Joe Schmoely to one of the jennifers.

-I’m here to see joe schmoely

-are you the sister of the girl that just came in here

-yes

-why don’t you want to see her

-we haven’t talked in years

-I thought identical twins were close. learn something everyday.


with everyone in place, maybe even a bit unnecessairly in place. we found andy.

-you didn’t tell them you were a clone did you

-no

-then how did you end up in here

-I was trying to save you asshole

-so her clones care about me, but she doesn’t.

-no it’s I’ve got nowhere to go

-I’ve been sentenced. If we left now we’d be on the lam. It does you no good.

-then at least prove to people you cloned us

-sure, if you think that would help, but your’e forgetting something

-what

-you were created in space. the blast of sound needed to created a person is harmful. I can’t do it on earth. Also what about the other clones I create.

-so we came all the way here for nothing

-why can’t we live off the land

-I don’t want to live off the land

-you’re making this tough

-you’re making this tough

-we could steal another nasa rocket

-that’s your solution to everything

-I have the answer

-what is it

-hyperinflation

-what

-I could use those sound files to give us all wings then I could also use the sound files to counterfeit money.

-do people actually take pictures of current money.

-and your forgetting about the backs of the money.

-If we take pictures of the money under the right type of light the money might develop to the other side.

-will that work

-that’s the only idea I have.

-let’s head to arizona and find a vast stretch of land with noone around for miles and develop the money.

-There’s this government official that keeps coming by. they’d said they’d be here around nowish. do you have the keycode to the unit.

-yes.

The alarm blared.

-What do you mean someone was asking about an andy zigamarang.

I flew around the room with the wings of a california condor opening doors and carrying 10 women on my back. Ow!
