[ WP ] Every individual has an alternate reality where their alter-ego is the exact opposite of them . The separating walls between the two realities are broken and you find that the other you is a selfless philanthropist .

My face contorted rather disgustingly as I finally laid eyes on the pitiful creature that stood before me. 
 
 Yes there was no doubt it was truly me. Well lets be clear here, it was a far lesser version of myself. There was for example some differences in appearance. This me for example had a ponytail while I did not. This me seemed to have no sense of style... or perhaps they were just very poor. Hmm this last thought saddened me as though the thought of another me being unsuccessful was itself a bad reflection on me. 
 
 So much time and money seemingly wasted to explore another dimension, which apparently ONLY contains a different me. How odd that mother nature contains a reality that has lesser versions of those individuals from the true reality with apparently no physical world to house them. How was I going to explain this to the board and our investors... the stock was going to take a huge hit if other dimensions were similar. Hmm, maybe we could pivot from our platform of providing unlimited natural resources to a platform of unlimited free labor? I wonder if congress would be ok with slavery if these individuals were from other dimensions.... Well at the very least we could get away with it until the law caught up with the times. 
 
 I realized that this was not the time to worry about such matters. Engineering had made it clear that this was the only portal we were going to be able to open for a few months and it would only be able to be held open for a few minutes at most. I better make the most of it. 
 
 The other me seemed to be more surprised then myself and stood with mouth agape. It clearly did n't look like this me was going to work up the mental strength to begin the inevitable conversation so I sighed deeply as I began the initial contact. 
 
 `` Hello Judith, to answer the obvious question, yes, I am truly you. But I am you from a different universe...'' I began, 
 
 `` I understand that this is an alarming and confusing situation but I will briefly attempt to explain what has happened. I own a business which has finally developed the technology to open portals to universes different from our own. Our encounter now marks the first such successful opening of a portal after decades of hard work!'' I paused and smiled proudly waiting for what I expected would be a show of admiration and pride from the other individual. Unfortunately, while the gaped mouth slowly began to close it did not seem that this lesser Judith was grasping anything that I was saying. Maybe this lesser Judith was simply a shade or a hologram with actually no sentient thought of its own? 
 
 `` Judith. Can you please acknowledge that you can understand me?'' 
 
 `` Um... yes, yes I hear you. I am sorry... I just do n't really know what to say'' lesser Judith finally stuttered out. 
 
 I could n't help but let out another sigh accompanied with an eye roll. I really did n't mean for that to come out but I was losing patience and time was of the essence. Lesser Judith had no idea how much money was being wasted keeping this portal open! However, now that it was demonstrated that she was sentient and was at least intelligent enough to communicate, I could question her to determine if she simply was `` created'' by the portal, or if she comes from a physical reality similar to my own. I put on my most sympathetic face in an attempt to calm her nerves and make sure that she would have no issues with talking again. 
 
 `` Judith, can you tell me about where you come from?'' I said as softly and nicely as I could muster. 
 
 `` Um... yes I can. I come from Paris, Missouri. Its a small town where everybody knows each other and I have lived there all my life. I live with my husband Garry and my two kids Tammy and Kyle. I did work a bit after college as a teacher but have been a stay at home Mom ever since Kyle was born. He has down syndrome you see...'' she paused for a brief moment looking away before continuing `` but you have to believe me that he is the nicest person to ever walk the planet! Oh my family is such a blessing.'' She smiled at me before suddenly becoming very panicked. 
 `` Will I ever see them again? What have you done to me? Put me back at once!'' 
 
 Wow. She is part of the technological breakthrough of humanity and all she can talk about is her tiny shit town and her dumb ass kid and family. Oh well, at least she does come from a true physical world. This means that I would n't have to try and convince our PR team that inter-dimension slavery was the way of the future. 
 
 `` Bob,'' I said in to my microphone on my blouse, `` is there anything more I should ask her while the portal is open? I think we will just need to try again.'' I waited a few seconds but there was no reply. `` Bob, come in dammit.'' 
 
 `` Um yes Judith this is Bob, we might have a problem here.'' his voice was trembling and it sounded as though he was about to vomit. In the background you could hear what also sounded like Bob screaming at the top of his lungs. 
 
 `` Bob, spit it out'' I said a bit shaky myself. If that was truly another Bob then that meant... that the portal was n't isolated to this room as we thought. Could it possibly mean... 
 
 `` Bob! Please tell me that there is no other version of you with you at this moment'' I cried out. Lesser Judith, who had started to tear up, began to look even more worried as she sensed the panic in my own voice. 
 
 `` There is another Bob here with me, there is another Cindy with Cindy, there is another Richard with Richard and worse...'' Bob finally said with a cool and collected voice. The crazed shouting continuing at full force in the background. 
 
 `` Oh Jesus Christ Bob... Jesus Christ. What else...'' I stammered out. 
 
 `` I closed the portal 5 minutes ago.'' 
 
 I paused for a few moments, my heart pounding through my chest. 
 
 `` What did that man in your microphone just say?'' Asked lesser Judith frantically? `` What did that man just say! You have to let me get back to my family!'' 
 
 There was no time to worry about this pathetic woman right now. Clearly, the device had just ripped space-time apart or something else terrible and caused a permanent doubling in the population. Yes, I ca n't see it any other way then that at least every single other sentient being on this planet currently being with their doppleganger from that bumfuck dimension. I suppose there is no reason to think that it would be limited to sentient beings. Christ, if it is every life form then we have just doubled the biomass on the planet. We are fucked. Lesser Judith looked at me stunned as though I had just murdered a new born. Oh. oops. I said that last part out loud. 
 
 `` Yes, thats right Lesser Judith. We are fucked. I am pretty sure you are never getting back to your family and I am pretty sure we are going to have to quickly start eradicating every single thing that came from your universe before you kill us all.'' I said glaring and with a snarl. Lesser Judith began to cower and quiver before she seemed to realize that she was best off trying to run away as fast as she can. 
 
 Good thing that Bob suggested I pack heat in case anything bad was to happen. 
 
 I quickly pulled out the pistol from my holster and aimed. Lesser Judith clearly had n't been going to the gym or doing much of anything in the realms of physical activity as she was struggling with the stairs. I took the first shot which immediately produced a bang followed by the sound of a ricochet off of metal. 
 
 Crap, I should have practiced with this thing before hand. 
 
 `` Please, please, do n't kill me'' Judith was hysterically crying but was still trying to run up the stairs. She was so out of breath by now that she could barely even get the words out. 
 
 I readied myself for another shot this time I used two hands. 
 
 No ricochet this time. 
 
 Lesser Judith was still sobbing but it looked like she would expire fairly quickly. 
 
 `` Bob, do you think we can get the president on the line?''
