It's another weekend and as usual, it comes with awesome engagement concepts from the weekend experiences community created by Sir @galenkp. If you love to be a part of this, then check out the original article and pick a topic from the listed options. Don't forget to follow the guidelines.
For this particular one, I will be combining two of the options into a mega one!
You've managed to create a clone of yourself but it will only last for one weekend. What do you do with your clone and why?
You're immortal, you can't die, but only for one weekend. What do you do and why?
The weekend usually starts on Saturday and ends before Monday, which means I have two days to be a freaking immortal clone! I always complain that I don't have enough time in a day to finish all the tasks I planned out, I always try to balance blogging on two different platforms and taking programming classes online, and most of the time it isn't easy.
I remember wishing for the power to clone myself before going to bed last night and when I woke up this morning, I was staring at another me who was staring right back. "Oh, this is one of those dreams I usually have once in a while", I said to myself. "is it?", the clone replied, "didn't you wish for something last night?" That was when I realized it, I have actually made a clone of myself.
"So, what can you do?"
"I can do basically whatever you can do, you remember I'm also you, right?"
"Yeah I got that part, which means I can now multitask and do double of what I usually do in a day"
"That's pretty much the idea behind this, but do know I can only stay for the weekend"
" I am totally cool with that. Let's not waste any more of the limited time we have, it's time to do our daily tasks"
My daily routine usually starts with engaging with other people on Hive and readcash, followed closely by going out to fetch water to fill the empty containers in the house. So, I decided to focus on blogging engagements while I sent my clone to fetch water
"Why will I have to be the one to fetch water and not read articles online? Are you trying to say you're the brains and I'm the muscles?
"Look yourself in the mirror, you look just like me, where are the muscles?!", I yelled in frustration
"Geez, calm down, okay? I was just wondering why I am not the one doing the brainy stuff online, I'm pretty sure you're the dumb one"
I ignored him (me?) after that, I just can't believe I'm insulting myself. I focused on both blogging platforms. Some time has passed but my clone still hasn't returned from his errand, so I went out to the balcony to see if he is coming back. I saw him walking to the house pushing a cart with gallons of water and I was wondering what took him so long. Just when he was about to cross the road, a truck came out from nowhere and hit him head-on. Crash!
I panicked! My heart almost flew out of my chest and I thought I was going to die. It's not every day I see myself getting hit by a truck. I quickly retreated into the house and observed the rest of the event from my window, I wouldn't want my neighbors to start wondering when I got a twin. Luckily for me, there aren't many people around the neighborhood that morning coz majority of them have gone to work.
My clone quickly got up and started dusting off dirt from his body. I'm pretty sure I was even more freaked out than the driver of the truck who is looking at my clone and wondering if he is dreaming. "Young man are you ok?" He asked. "Yes Sir, I was lucky to quickly jump off the way and your truck only hit the cart", the clone replied. "Ah, thank God you didn't get hurt, I didn't even see you crossing the road until it was too late", then he got in his truck and left.
I definitely know what I saw, that truck hit my clone head-on and his body twisted at an inhuman angle, but now he is walking fine as if nothing happened. I confronted him when he came into the house and that was when he confessed he is an immortal. "I am a copy of your soul in physical form, which means I can never die no matter what happens. And the best part is that I can transfer that power to you too".
"Sweet! Now that's very convenient", I said with a grin on my face
"I know that look"
"What look?"
"The look we usually have on our face when we are thinking of something crazy"
"Oh yes, that look", I said still grinning.
"Let me guess, it involves something very dangerous, a camera and YouTube?"
"You see, we think alike!"
"Of course we do, I'm you!"
"Come on, we are going to the zoo"
I grabbed my camera, a mask (to keep my identity secret), and some clothes, then we got into the car and found our way to the zoo. "Now that you have shared your immortality with me, does that mean I can easily heal from any injury and won't die?". Instead of a reply, I got punched very hard in the face.
"Hey! What was that for?"
"Did it hurt?"
"Actually, it didn't! What in the hell...?"
"That's one of the perks of an immortal, invulnerability to physical harm"
"But I thought that's a power on its own?
"Yes and no. Check out this screenshot"
"Where did you get this from?"
"It's from the book of immortals, a version of it is online right here"
"Nice! That's so cool"
We got to the zoo and fortunately, it wasn't busy, there weren't a lot of people around. Nobody is in the kangaroo section so I figured that's a good place to start. "You do know they have powerful legs, right?", Said my clone. "yes I know, I wouldn't want to have a lion's jaws wrapped around my neck for a start, let's go with baby steps".
I got kicked so hard by the kangaroo but I managed to land some good punches while my clone is making a video of it. I didn't sustain any injuries, after all, just a torn shirt and I quickly changed it. It was so exciting! But not as exciting as fighting a lion, so we headed for the lion's den next. I have always imagined fighting a lion just like Samson did in the bible.
I jumped into the den and I could tell the lion was shocked seeing a human walking comfortably towards him, he quickly readied himself to pounce but I made the first move and gave it a good jab across the face but my wrist snapped!
"Sht! Why didn't this power also come with super strength!?"*
"Come on now, you can't be greedy", my clone replied. Luckily, my wrist quickly snapped back into place in a matter of seconds but now I'm faced with an angry lion. Before I could blink, I saw a fast paw coming towards my face and I got smacked very hard, I landed on the ground with the lion going straight for my neck with his teeth but it didn't hurt at all!
I managed to get out of that teeth-neck situation and continued wrestling with the lion. There was nobody around and my clone made sure he got everything on camera. The lion eventually got frustrated after a while and left, it was a very exciting experience! We repeated the same thing with other animals like the crocodile, rhinoceros, gorilla, and the final opponent: a grizzly bear!
The fight with the bear was no joke and it was the best of them all, the bear even stood on his rear legs and made several attempts to mow me down with his paws but I always stood back up and continued to wrestle him. He eventually gave up and retreated into his home. I posted the videos of the kangaroo and the lion on YouTube and so far it has generated millions of views! I'm going to be rich!
"You mean WE are going to be rich, right?", Said my clone.
"Yeah sure, you aren't even going to be here anymore once it's Monday"
"That's true. So at least let's make the most of this moment"
"Glad to see we are on the same page! Tomorrow we will do more crazy stuff, I wonder how it will feel to take a swim inside a volcano".
The videos I uploaded on YouTube had broken the internet and are being shared all over social media. Most people it hard to believe because how will anybody survive a fight against a lion? And besides, nobody saw my face because I was wearing a mask, which also made them conclude it's all fake, but there's still a part of them that thinks it's real, and it pushes them to keep watching more of my videos. Nobody knows my identity, so they call me: "The masked daredevil".
