A Case of Identity
The news this morning wasn't anything to get excited about, unless you counted the story about me being dead. Well, I guess it wasn't really me, but what else could I call it?

the first agent said, entering with his partner following behind, both pushing past me.

They even wore the same cologne, a sickly sweet one I had always hated. The similarity in the two wasn't surprising. One was a
