The Duplicate
When David finds a mysterious machine that can copy living things, he
thinks his problems are over. Now he can be in two places at once: at
his grandmother's and out on a date. While the other David is in
school, the real one can spend the day at the beach. The possibilities
are endless. And they turn terrifying. David's duplicate has a mind,
ideas, and desires of his own – and one of them is to see the real David
dead.
