[ WP ] You discovered today that you are a clone .

~~Mother, ~~ 
 
 ~~Mother of the previous me, ~~ 
 
 Deborah, 
 
 I'm writing you to let you know that I found the receipt in your dresser while I was putting away your laundry. The receipt for NuYou, the one detailing your purchase of a clone of me. It says right on it that the new clone was activated, so do n't go coy and say it's not been used yet. 
 
 A part of me feels grateful that you'd go to such lengths and expense to make sure I continue living, and I am grateful for that. I can not possibly describe how grateful I am, but I am troubled. 
 
 When I awoke in the hospital bed with you sitting beside me you told me I had been in an accident and had been in a coma for two weeks. This was a lie. Why? You know me enough to realize that I would have been fascinated knowing that I had been cloned. Hell, I even told you about the time I took part in a protest demanding the laws that were finally written to allow for human cloning. 
 
 I should have known something was wrong when Cindy acted so strange and then left me soon after I got out of the hospital. I should have known something was wrong when my co-workers acted like I was a ghost for the first few days after I returned to work. 
 
 I need some time to think about this. I'll let you know when I'm ready. 
 
 ~~Your replacement son~~ 
 
 David ~~2~~
