[ WP ] ( WIN PIZZA for best prompt ) You live up in a world where all people are 'your kind ' - like-minded , and similar to you , for better or worse . Show me around .

`` It's great to finally meet you! You know, we have n't had visitors in a few years now. And boy, things have changed. With the new ore deposits we found, we were able to improve our work ten fold. We have large, beautiful parks and towers that reach the skies....'' 
 
 You look, slightly disappointed. 
 
 `` I know, I know, there's no windows but you'll see it soon.'' 
 
 You start to walk down a long, white corridor. The door behind you closes, leaving the small ship in the dock. The walls seem to continue forever. 
 
 `` Patience is key. I had to remind myself that every day since I came here. It was easier, at first. Ever since we figured out how to travel faster than light I knew my dream could become a reality. We already had cloning machines then, but no room. Overcrowding and all that. Well, you should know, you read the history books, I'm sure. How old am I to you now, 110? 120?'' 
 
 You shrug. 
 
 `` Well, 120 sounds about right anyway. So I found this place. Perfect planet, perfect climate year round. Like I found the Garden of Eden. I landed, or should I say we. I had already made 70 clones by the time we landed. We got right to work. We were here to build the best civilization ever even dreamed of.'' 
 
 `` That's right!'' You look over, and the same image pops into view. `` We have made the most advanced and well made cities ever created by humans. Everyone lives in comfort.'' 
 
 `` Seriously, everyone!'' A third appears. `` We have no poverty, no illness - not even mental illness - no problems, no stress.'' 
 
 `` We all live quite content.'' You look back. It's the original talking again. You think. `` Oh! You look confused. Since it's hard to tell us all apart, we put on name, or rather, numbered tags for you. This is clone 891, and here is clone 42. One of the first!'' 
 
 `` Yes, I remember landing on this planet,'' 42 recalls. `` Seeing land for the first time. It was incredible. And you will feel almost as incredible when you see the city!'' 
 
 `` It'll knock your socks off -'' 
 
 `` *If you're wearing any! *'' All three say suddenly. It was as if it was rehearsed. Even their laughing was together. 
 
 `` Anyway, I guess it's finally time. 42, 891, please excuse us.'' 
 
 Just then, the blank white wall opens up to reveal a door. `` Please, the city is right this way.'' The door shuts behind as you realize there are still no windows. 
 
 `` I am just so glad you came here. You will love our city. It is just such a pleasure to live here. You'll find all the comforts of home. Just tell us and anything you need can be made. You'll never want to go back.'' 
 
 You walk up to the opposing wall. White everywhere. No city in sight. 
 
 `` Oh there's a city out there. Like you've never dreamed. And fifty more. Maybe even hundreds by now. You can see it - all the buildings the same, each tower parallel to the next and next and next - all order, no imperfections. Artificial. Unnatural. 
 
 `` There is nothing here except me. No other people, not even other animals. Every city I visit has the same structures, same art, same music, same people. There may be thousands of bodies but it's all one mind. One mind controlling these drones that all think the same, laugh the same, interact the same. It's all me. When I left earth, all alone, I thought that I would be bringing humanity, even saving humanity as I developed this place, but I realize now that we left it far behind. We are aliens. Something new, something horrible created by a project gone perfectly right. 
 
 `` And so, you came. You are needed here by all of us, all of me. Society can not survive on one mind but you can save ours. And you will. I really do hope you enjoy your extended stay. We are so glad you could join us.''

 *So, this is my first ever submission to this sub! It was fun to write. I guess I did take a bit of a creative liberty with the prompt but I think it fits well enough. And I do want to say that I am not actually insane, but if I were stuck with a whole bunch of me's... who knows what could happen. *
