Writing Prompt Friday (Doppelgänger)

WPF_Doppleganger

Hello and welcome back to Writing Prompt Friday! This week’s prompt is inspired by a traffic jam that left me sitting in my vehicle with time to spend contemplating the mysteries of life. After deciding that I couldn’t solve the mysteries of life, I watched nearby birds play in the air currents and let my imagine wander to think about all the things I could have been doing if I wasn’t stuck behind another vehicle.

This is why we use the facilities before we hit the road.

On to this week’s writing prompt. Enjoy!

Describe a day in the life of your doppelgänger.

Bonus points for letting your doppelgänger have a chocolate shake.

Bonus points are valid only for self esteem and bragging rights. Not valid for monetary prizes or any tangible goodie here, with any merchant or anywhere on the planet, real or imagined. Non-transferrable. Never expires.

Enjoy!
