My eyes snapped open to a vast, red-glowing cavern and the sounds of pain, and I had no doubt where I was. My life was n't all bad, but I had to face the fact that it was mostly bad, and I had eternity to do it. With effort, I stood up, and my eyes were met with another pair just like them, in a body just like mine, standing a few feet away. `` Hello, Mark,'' it said, in my voice. 
 
 I nodded a greeting. `` I know what this is, you know, and it's not going to hurt me. I know you're going to show me how much better I could've been if I did things differently, what incredible things I could've done, or seen, but I made my choices for my reasons, and what's done is done.'' I coughed. `` So... do your worst, I guess.'' 
 
 `` Well, you're right,'' said the doppelganger, with a cold offhandedness. `` That's my normal routine. There's just one problem.'' An agonising pause hung in the air before I murmured a half-formed `` What?'' 
 
 The doppelganger smirked. `` Your life in this universe is the best you ever do. Let that sink in.''
