When the plug is pulled, a life vanishes from this world.
“You should be with her now, see her through to the end,” I nudged him.
“I know, I’m heading there now,” Mack lifted his gaze to meet mine, “Sorry for the intrusion.”
I managed a small smile, “Hoping for a miracle.”
Mack didn’t reply but stood up to leave. I watched his retreating figure, feeling a stark contrast from the night before.
“What are you looking at? You didn’t even hear your phone ring?” Ernest came over, taking the bunch of flowers from my hand.
I didn’t know how to explain Mack’s situation to Ernest because I hadn’t mentioned last night’s encounter, and Mack’s story was too convoluted.
Mostly, I felt an unexplainable sadness, especially after Mack’s words about soon being gone.
“Ernest, why do you think two unrelated people can look so much alike?” I asked him.
“Humans are made of genes. With so many people in the world, it’s normal to have similar genetics,” Ernest responded, very matter-of-factly.
Thinking about Mack’s reason for following me, I asked, “Do you think you might one day look for my shadow in someone who resembles me?”
“Why would I do that?” Ernest asked sharply.
I met his gaze, “I mean, what if.”
“You are you to me,” Ernest was always so certain.
I smiled helplessly, “I was just asking. You could’ve just given any answer, I wouldn’t overthink it.”
Ernest brushed a stray hair from my cheek, “No matter what, I wouldn't look for your shadow in someone else. You’re irreplaceable.”
I chuckled at his smooth talk, “Got it, let’s go.”
Ernest, holding the flowers in one hand and my hand in the other, asked, “Why suddenly ask this?”
I saw a photo of a girl who looks just like me," I paused, "almost ninety percent similar."
