Parallel Universe

I woke up in dimly lit room with closed windows. I had no idea how I got here or where I was.
I walked towards a table at the corner of the room and there was a note which read
“Welcome Hudson Matt. You are now in a parallel universe. You have been sent here for a purpose which you will have to find out. Please check the drawers for documents for further details and a gun licenced to Kevin Fray which is your new identity.”

I pulled open the drawer and hurriedly went through the files. A driver’s licence, residence details, insurance policy were all in there. I saw a gun and a bunch of keys which included a car key according to the file.
I stepped outside a bright sunny day and looked back at the building. There was something different about it I couldn’t figure out what. I started for my new home with the help of navigation. I looked myself at the rear view mirror and got the shock of my life. I had undergone a major plastic surgery. There was not a single resemblance of my old face.  The streets were clean and with very few people.  There is really nothing different here for a parallel universe.

The building was tall with around 20 storeys I guessed.
“Hello sir how I may help you?” the receptionist asked with monotonous tune. She had curly hair and had an oval face. She wore thick framed glasses which made her face look even more wide.
“Kevin Fray, moving in…” I cut short hearing my voice. It was different, more deep and low. They even messed with my voice box. I will find out. “oh yes Mr Fray right this way.” She guided me to an elevator. “Hope you like your new place Mr Fray”
12B. I pushed open the door and stepped in. The place was luxurious. Everything was made, the living room, the bedroom, the open kitchen and the attached bathroom. The living room opened to a balcony which overlooked the city. The air felt warm.
I lay on my bed thinking. If this is a parallel universe, why is everything the same? There was nothing different, people the same, the atmosphere. Why am I here? Will I ever return if this is a parallel universe?

The night was cool with a light breeze. I drove around searching for information that would lead me to believe that this was a parallel universe. I decided to look into history, music and other stuff. There was no possible way that it would be the same. I stopped outside a cd store and stared at the posters. Oh my God. Yes those posters had names I never heard before. I walked in and went through several discs. They were all different but some had a similarity in their names. I moved over to the movies section. The movies too were of I never heard before but the plot of a few movies were similar to those in my home universe. I started to build a theory in my mind. I found the books section and hurriedly went through a few books which I thought I was familiar with. I was right. Most of the books had the similar story of books in my universe.

I sat down on my couch reading the guide book I picked up. My place is called Talexia. The president was a guy called Frank Telly. There were only 31 other countries. This universe was pretty much the same as compared to my universe. I knew I was not the only one sent to this universe from mine and each had a purpose a purpose to make this universe a universe like ours, a home like ours. But what was my purpose? I decided to look for people who shared the same fate.

The alarm went off and I woke up with a jolt. I lay on my bed thinking about the dream. If something like that really happened. I thought. So with that thought I masturbated and left for work.
