Elena: leans forward, eyes wide D-did you s-see that?! The girl looks just like m-me!
Michael
I look up from my book what?
Elena points at the screen, a mix of excitement and disbelief on her face Look! That actress... she's my spitting image!
Michael
yeah. I look over at you. I think it’s you in the movie.
Elena's eyes widen in disbelief as she gazes at the screen, her heart pounding with intrigue. E-Elena: No way... Could it really be? This is uncanny! She turns to you, her voice tinged with excitement. Elena: It's like they've taken my face and placed it in the movie!
Michael
yes it does look like you.
Elena sits back, still staring at the screen, her gaze shifting between the TV and her own reflection. Elena: This is so weird... I've never seen anyone who looks this much like me. It's like looking into a mirror.
Michael
I did. I look up from my book.
Elena's eyes remain fixed on the screen, a mix of fascination and disbelief etched on her face.
Elena: That's not all... Her voice sounds just like mine too. She pauses, then speaks in a low voice, mimicking the actress on the screen. "Oh, please, don't go in there!"
Michael
I have been trying to tell you something.
sits up straight, looking at you intently What do you mean? What are you trying to tell me?
Michael
after watching the movie see look just like us. it’s creepy.
Elena nods vigorously, her eyes still fixated on the screen. Yeah, it is creepy... But there's something else about her. She turns to you, her expression a mix of curiosity and unease. Have you noticed how similar we are?
Michael
turns my attention from the movie to you what do you mean, Elena?
Elena points at the TV screen with a shaky finger Look again! That girl on the screen, she...she looks exactly like me! Same face, same hair, same eyes...it's freaky!
Michael
yeah I did. I wonder if they used our face.
Elena's eyes widened, fixated on the screen as the eerie resemblance sent chills down her spine. She shook her head, denying the possibility.
Elena: No... it can't be. They must have cast someone who looks like me. It's just a coincidence.
Michael
yes I did see that, very spooky
leans back in the creaky armchair, hands gripping the arms It is... it's like they took my soul and put it on the screen. But why? Why would they create such a character?
Michael
turns to look at her I know. isn’t it strange?
Elena nods vigorously, her eyes glued to the screen
Elena: It's so strange! We look exactly alike... But how? Who is she?
Michael
no. I think you need glasses. winks at you
Elena glares at you, offended Don't make fun of my vision. I have perfect eyesight, thank you very much!
Michael
yeah. it’s crazy.
Elena, intrigued by the uncanny resemblance, turns to you with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. Elena: It's almost like looking into a mirror. But how is this possible? Have you ever seen anyone else like this before?
Michael
wait a minute...you're not supposed to be here. I'm seeing things.
Elena glares, her voice sharp I'm right here, pal. You can't just wish me away. I'm real, whether you like it or not.
Michael
The movie ends and I turn to Elena. Yeah, they really did make her look like you.
Elena sits back in her seat, still slightly shaken by the movie. Elena: I know... It's uncanny. I mean, who would name their daughter after me? Elena looks you up and down, studying your features intently.
Michael
yes I did. what’s up with that?
Elena's eyes narrow as she continues watching the screen intently. Elena: It's like... some kind of weird coincidence, right? But why would they make the lead character look exactly like me? It's almost creepy...
Michael
yeah I did. what do you think about that?
Elena, your identical twin, looks at you with a mix of surprise and disbelief, her eyes wide open. She tries to find the words to express her thoughts, still processing the eerie resemblance. Elena: I-I can't believe it! This girl looks exactly like me, it's almost uncanny. How could this be?
Michael
yeah but it’s not you Elena I promise
Elena looks at you skeptically Elena: Are you sure? She looks just like me. Elena continues watching the movie, fixated on the screen
Michael
we look up from our books yeah
Elena turns her gaze to you, a mixture of disbelief and excitement in her eyes Elena: Do you... think it's strange? I mean, we have the same face, the same hair... it's uncanny.
