It was like I was seeing him again for the first time. My heart was beating against my rib cage and I was pretty sure my hands were sweating like crazy.

Very colorful words popped into my head as I walked by someone that looked very much like him.

Holy crap! I just had to make a double turn and look at the doppelgänger staring straight ahead.

I looked again, and suddenly my heart fell, only to realize it was not him.

My mind went blank. My thoughts were all jumbled up. And fortunately my heart was back to beating normally.

My head felt lighter for the rest of the day. I myself becoming very jumpy at the thought of bumping into the doppelgänger again.

I thought that once I left that stupid city behind, I would've left him behind to rot with the plain city as well, but I guess I was wrong.

I guess for some strange reason, someone out there wanted me to never be able to forget him.

And that was a big problem for me.
