[ WP ] You are walking to your car after your first day at an incredibly well paying job . On the way , you see a homeless man in an alleyway . The man attacks you and tells you to quit your job immediately - his voice , is your own .

1. 
 
 Is there a bite on his hand? On his neck? He checks himself in the rearview mirror and nearly drives onto the curb. He swerves, He hears the honk of horns and screech of tires. He pushes on the accelerator and grips the wheel until his knuckles turn white. 
 
 His hands begin to ache.

 `` He had my voice.'' 
 
 `` He sounded like you?'' 
 
 `` Brother, I'm telling you he was me.'' 
 
 `` So you freaked out?'' 
 
 `` What would you do?'' 
 
 `` I dunno, try and talk to him?'' 
 
 `` He was me, he knew I do n't talk to homeless people.'' 
 
 `` They're not always looking for a handout.'' 
 
 `` Yesterday started like the best day of my life, They finally showed me the new projections. Now I know why I signed that stack of non-disclosure agreements. 
 
 `` You'll tell your brother, right?'' 
 
 `` They are mirroring the market perfectly.'' 
 
 `` Seriously?'' 
 
 `` 2 minutes into the future Joe, 128.888159 seconds to be exact.'' 
 
 `` Holy shit Fred.'' 
 
 `` We could rake it in, We're gon na rake it in, but slowly, or the regulators will come sniffing..'' 
 
 `` So that's why you freaked out, that bum did n't just sound like you, anyone but you would've blown it off or called the cops but after what you saw...'' 
 
 `` He was me, bro. Stinking of old piss.'' 
 
 `` He told you to quit?'' 
 
 `` He screamed it at me, grabbed for me but he could n't get a grip.'' 
 
 `` Why not?'' 
 
 `` He'd chewed the ends of his fingers off.'' 
 
 `` Jesus, Fred.''

 `` I do n't understand you, you're fucking crazy you know that?'' 
 
 `` My mind's made up.'' 
 
 `` It's your second day and you're not even going to come in?'' 
 
 `` No, I'm sorry, sue me.'' 
 
 `` You bet your ass we will!'' 
 
 The line went dead. 
 
 `` He did n't slam the receiver?'' 
 
 `` New style office, exclusively hot desks and mobile phones, Only the machine gets an office and it's in a cold vault in the basement, they bought the whole building, Joe.'' 
 
 `` You alright? Looking a little green.'' 
 
 `` They're going to come after me.'' 
 
 `` Lay low, keep your mouth shut and they wo n't, trust me, they have too much to lose.'' 
 
 `` I dunno Joe, maybe I imagined he looked like me? Maybe it was all in my head? It happened so fast...'' 
 
 `` When is Vera home from work?'' 
 
 `` She should be home soon. Listen Josephine. Do n't mention I quit, I need to tell her myself, thanks for listening.'' 
 
 `` What are big sisters for?'' 
 
 
 She put him in a playful headlock and ruffled his hair. Like she'd done since they were kids. 
 
 The End.
