During the first days in my new house, everything seemed perfectly normal, until I started noticing small things, almost insignificant: objects not where I had left them, doors slightly ajar that I was sure I had closed. I wasn't afraid, just plagued by a growing suspicion. One night, I heard footsteps upstairs. I live alone and that part of the house is empty. I went up with my cell as a flashlight. Nothing. But when I came back down, all the lights were on. I tried to sleep, but I heard my own voice downstairs. I went down and saw someone sitting where I usually write. It turns out they were reading my own diary! The figure had my clothes, my posture, my way of speaking. It looked up, stared at me and whispered: "You're already inside." Now, when I wake up, I'm never sure who I am.

Clever stuff happening!
