My mother used to tell me that there was another world called the dopple-ganger world which was exactly the same as this world with people doing exactly the same things as we did on this world. There was another me and another mum on the dopple-ganger world having this exact conversation at this exact time.
She told me that the dopple-ganger world was the real world, and this world was just a simulation.
She also said that whenever we went on holidays the dopple-ganger gods got really angry because they had to do extra work making the simulation. (Normally they just had to simulate our house, school, the supermarket etc...)
I never really believed her, but I thought that was a pretty twisted thing for a mother to say to her daughter.
