I was going to sleep, as I saw the black stage of space with stars and the galaxy MSA-2723 receding slowly, as the vast scale of universe envelopes my senses, making me excited. My desire as the researcher Mike Boyne flaring up, the desire to solve every question mankind has ever questioned. I dimmed the lights and slept.

I woke up to the harsh sun beating the floor with so much heat that I felt the concrete pavement could melt at any second. I looked at my clock and saw the time was 9:00am and thought I had still had enough time to get ready and go to my comic studio, the "Mike Boyne Comics", after my own name. I got ready quickly and took off to work. On my way there, I was thinking about a new comic idea, what if the earth was round, of course this would be wacky, since the world is a donut shaped. I reached my studio and immediately started putting down on paper my drawings of a round earth. I drew up the panels and instantly started filling the lines of characters within this strange and skewed world. By the end of the day, I took my masterpiece to the Teapot Publishers to publish my comic. I submitted it at the front desk and took the cab home. I walked in and treated myself to a nice grilled cheese and hot mug of cocoa. As I enjoyed my meal, I read the newspaper. Since I was tired drawing the round earth comic, I flopped on the bed and slept straightaway.

I woke up to the dark night, the stars being accentuated by the black void of the cosmos. I got up from the bed and I had my normal breakfast first along side my medication. I went to the ship's main frame and started calculating our next maneuver. After I was done, I started my research on the duality of nature. I took the philosophical route. What if we are all connected with another person from an alternate parallel universe? What if the mind were connected to these two people? Would the mind have limits like we sapiens do? Am I connected to another mind, are we one and the same? As I started questioning, I felt as if I have revealed something huge, like the proof for quantum entanglement across universes. Then I felt a weird jolt in my head.

I got up in the middle of the night. This had never happened to me before; I have never woken up late at dusk. As I arose from my bed, I felt a sharp pain in my head, then a thought passed by, I wondered, who is this? Is there someone in my head? He feels like the voice in my head but different, more ...logical.

"Who are you?!", I screamed. "Are you the guy from the round earth?"

This man that I was talking to is a black figure, blending into the dark surroundings around me.

"Me?", Asked the dark figure, menacingly. He walked forward with a guarded stance. "My name is Mike Boyne, numero uno researcher of the Centauri Federation, what about you?".

"Huh, what a coincidence, my name is Mike Boyne too! though I am not from the whatever you call, The Federation, I am from The Earth". I, the creative Mike told.

As we walked close to each other his mysterious shroud disappeared as he walked into the light. My heart skipped the beat, he looks exactly same! He was wearing the same expression as me, the confusing and bizarre situation just presented at that moment, I felt a rage boiling in, for this guy was committing identity fraud!

"Stop impersonating me, imposter!", we both shouted simultaneously.

"Didn't you say you are from the Centauri defense force? No way in hell there is such a thing"

"And no way in hell there exists an Earth or whatever you call it" logical Boyne told me

"And yet here we are, arguing about things that may very well not exist, by that I mean you Centauri Defense force" I retorted

"Let me think!!" logical Boyne screamed like a 4-year-old throwing a tantrum.

Being the Logical researcher I am, I started thinking about all the possibilities of the mysterious space we were in. Are we in extremely rare phenomena? It is possible. After I calculated everything, I could conclude that we are not in my universe. That proves the parallel worlds theory! I started panicking, Questions plagued my mind. Where are we? What is this place?

I, the creative Boyne, was witnessing the frustrations building up on my other self's face. I walked up to him and said

"Everything is going to be alright my friend!" I told logical Boyne, Although I felt just as much anxiety as him

"I have made a conclusion," I, the logical Boyne had announced "We are in a wholly different universe, and..."

"And?" I asked him

We both are one and the same, our conscience is split. Why do you think you were never good at science, but were extremely good at creative stuff, and for me the vice versa?

I was shocked at his hypothesis, it is impossible! How can we be the same person? It is impossible!

"I know how you feel creative Boyne, but that is reality, by all accounts it should cause a paradox, resulting the very fabric of space-time going asunder. But this doesn't explain what we see going on here, which brings my conclusion. Just what could have placed us here, an omega being?"

"Good, Good! Looks like I was in the right bringing you here" A booming voice called, echoing everywhere, sounding like the voice of god resonating through our body soothing us and calming our minds.

"Looks like the test worked! Oh you poor soul, having to work in 2 separate bodies, let me fix you up. You two shake hands"

We shook our hands and immediately collapsed

The last thing we both heard was the primordial being saying " Thou shall go back to thy original body"

I slowly opened my eyes, the pleasant and radiant light rays penetrated the window sill, the birds chirping without a care in the world, the smell of earthiness like it had rained, I walked to the window and looked up and saw the sun, and it said with a very warm and welcoming voice, "I knew you would come back to me"
