THOUGHTS FROM THE OVERGROWTH

We were wrong

I don't know when that happened. I woke up and i knew my wife wasn't my wife. Somebody replacd her at night pretending to be my significant other. I was terrified, but didn't let it show. I went to our son's room to tell him some mean lady is pretending to be his mommy. He was still asleep, so I woke him up by shaking him gently by the shoulders. He opened his eyes, surprised. And then it hit me..

It wasn't my son. I didn't know that child, it certainly wasn't mine. Petrified with terror i ran into the hallway. I rested my hands on my knees trying to overcome dizziness. When i stood back up, I saw a man in front of me.

"Who the hell are you?", he yelled. "What are you doing in my house?"

I didn't answer. I was too stunned. I had never seen such nerve. But when i tried to grab him by the throat, my hand only hit the hard surface of a mirror. The menacing intruder instantly fell into pieces screaming with a voice that sounded just like mine.

We are strangers
