Plot 139: Mini Plots For Clones, Duplicates, Twins, etc.

A) Muse A is casually flipping through the channels on TV for something good to watch when they stop on the pilot episode of a new show; they’re stunned that the lead actor, Muse B, looks and sounds exactly like them. It isn’t long before Muse A starts getting mistaken for Muse B when out in public.

B) Muse A attends a ‘haunted’ carnival with some friends and gets lost when they reach the hall of mirrors in the fun house. They bump into Muse B, a performer in the ‘freakshow’ who has the ability to split themselves in two, while trying to find their way out. Muse A has no clue that they’re simply one of Muse B’s copies.

C) Muse A was born and raised in a top secret research facility; their sole purpose for being is to provide donor tissue and organs to Muse B if Muse B should need. After a mix up, Muse A is mistaken for Muse B and is able to walk right off the premises without raising alarms. With nowhere else to go and limited socialization skills, they search for Muse B who they presume is their sibling. 

D) Muse A locates their twin, Muse B, 2 decades after they were adopted by separate families. Muse B had a miserable upbringing and decides to seek revenge on Muse A who had quite the opposite experience and now has a wonderful family of their own. 

E) Muse A is arrested for a crime they did not commit and they can’t understand how the DNA evidence seems to point to them. It isn’t until Muse B is taken into custody and put into the same holding cell that Muse A realizes there is a duplicate version of them who’s also claiming to be innocent.

F) Muse A is devastated when they discover that their significant other is having an affair with Muse B. They’re speechless when they manage to catch the pair in the act and Muse B looks identical to them.  

G)  Muse A invents a machine capable of cloning from a single strand of DNA for a prestigious science convention. Muse B, their most successful clone, is not only identical to them in every way possible but becoming better than them every day. Pretty soon, Muse A becomes worried that Muse B is preparing to take over their life. 

H) Muse A, a lonely genius, turns to cloning to solve their romantic problems. After all who would make a better mate than a carbon copy of them? With a little tweaking of chromosomes at the conception stage, Muse A creates their literal other half, Muse B, as a member of the opposite sex.
