(20) DOPPELGANGER (FETCH & WEIRD)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“And I will show you something different from either<\/p>\n

Your shadow at morning striding behind you<\/p>\n

Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s right \u2013 it’s you. You are your own worst mythic enemy, my final special mention for villains of mythology.<\/p>\n

Well, okay \u2013 not exactly you, but another version of you. At least equally matched but possibly better than you \u2013 harder, better, faster, stronger \u2013 because they are supernatural and do you better than you do.<\/p>\n

“A\u00a0doppelg\u00e4nger (also\u00a0doppelgaenger\u00a0and\u00a0doppelganger) is a supernatural double of a living person, especially one who haunts the doubled person.” Usually ominous, as in literally an omen or “harbinger of bad luck”.<\/p>\n

Essentially the same concept as the archaic usage of fetch or weird for a similar entity.<\/p>\n

And yes \u2013 it’s also an exception to my rule of reserving my final twentieth special mention for a kinky or kinkier entry, unless of course that’s your kink or you want to take narcissism literally.<\/p>\n
