A man starts reading a magazine and as he flips through the pages, something striking happens. He glanced at a picture of a man who looks exactly like him. He flips another page and another and then another but does not find anything to read about this guy. He asks people around him but nobody answers him back. He throws the magazine in anger and starts thinking about the picture in the magazine. He gets up and drinks water so he can cool off a little.
After he cools off, he realizes that he did not read the entire magazine from the beginning and might have missed some information about his duplicate. He picks the magazine again and starts reading it from the beginning. He also realizes that the magazine is pretty old and thick and has many pages out of which many are stuck together. He slowly turns every page and reads from top to bottom so that he does not miss any article.
Finally he comes to a page where he finds information about this guy. He starts reading in pain. The man he is reading about was a Male Model who used to live in London many years ago. Two years ago, he had a major car accident, which he caused while driving under influence. He survived but lost his memory and mental balance. After several months of treatment, he was finally admitted in a mental hospital. As he was still reading, a woman passed by him. He stopped her and asked her to sit. She sat and asked him what seems to bother him. He asked her the same question he asked other a while ago- who is this man in the picture? She laughed and replied " you ".
Now did I mention that the man reading this magazine is reading this magazine on a Mental Hospital bed?
