My ex of 10 years has a doppleganger in town somewhere.
First time I saw this ghost was while in a left turn lane in a snowstorm. She was kitty-corner pushing a couple shopping carts towards a grocery store a long block away. How odd. I had to look twice. There was no place to pull over and help. It was years after we split and she told me never to contact her, even though I initiated the separation. And besides. My ex would never do something that self-sacrificing and communal.
The second time was actually inside the store by happenstance. I glanced over a few times. Almost everything was the same. The hat and overcoat. Face wrinkles and crows feet. Even the eyes. But now blue instead of green. I'm standing five feet away. A slightly more square jaw but it has been a while. I said her name questioningly. This person's voice was definitly not my ex. I apologized and walked away. But holy carp. That was odd.
