Heather World
by Michael S.
Collins
If a man
clones his wife, is he guilty of bigamy? Should
he then be arrested? Well, that’s what I
wanted to know. I had called the police and
everything, waiting to find out if they would
arrest many when they saw the many Heathers.
I cloned
Heather.
Had I foreseen
the consequences, I’d have just had an
affair. It would have been less messy.
Heather was my
wife, it can be safely assumed. All of them.
Every person in the world.
Every person
in the world is my wife.
I knew when I
made my Super Cloning Machine; I shouldn’t
have added a “Change the Entire World to
your Likeness” option. It seemed like a good
idea. Something to toy with.
Unfortunately,
when it came to cloning the wife, I pressed the
wrong button.
Now all the
world’s a wife, and only one of me to go
around.
And her every
word is law, because she’s the leader of the
free world. Every leader of the free world. And
all the dictators too.
That’s a
hell of a lot of nagging.
