The Magic Shop

There can be only one

You stare at yourself across the store with your jaw hanging down. "What the hell?" you ask quietly.

Your reality reflection seems to be doing the same thing. "Who the hell are you? Where did you come from?"

You both walk up to each other, staring. This is you, wearing the same clothes, the same strange dog nose. "This isn't possible," you muse. "Did the mirror do this?"

Your reflection seems to think about that. "Or the spray did it," he says after a second. Why you tilt your head in question, he explains, "Maybe when I sprayed my nose, it created two forms, one dog and one human, but now in one body."

You catch on, "And since two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time..."

"...The magic made two forms."

You stop you from continuing, "That would seem to mean that one of us is the human and one is the dog."

The other you smiles, "Yeah, but I wouldn't worry about that much."

You furrow your brow, "Why not?"

What do you do now?

• "Because I like the idea of being the dog." A BM added 9 years ago

• "Because you've been turning into a dog this whole time."
• "Because in a second there's only going to be one of us."
• "Because we're in a magic shop. There has to be something in here to fix this!"
