Once upon a cold morning, Snebbers was outside, walking his cat Magpie at 4 A.M. before going for work. The sun shied away from him, rising up every few seconds just to take a peek at Snebbers, and then hiding over the horizon, giggling like an anime girl.

Of course, Snebbers couldn't hear the giggling. But not like he cared about it, anyway. Hakuna Matata, as they say. Snebbers Hakuna Matata. Yes.

Just around the street corner, Snebbers walked into an invisible wall. Magpie rushed to lick his wounds.

"No Magpie, no. Bad cat. But thanks. I wasn't hurt anyway", Snebbers got up on his feet again, while Magpie jumped up and sat upon his shoulders.

Snebbers carefully inspected the wall in front of him. Suddenly, it started tearing up, as in literal cracks mid-air, just hovering above, like bad animation.

"This game sure is glitchy!", Snebbers chuckled to himself and patiently waited, watching the atmosphere crack up in front of him.

And then, a hand came through. Two hands. A torso. The left leg, and then the right leg. All in pieces.

Hah, just kidding. Altogether.

Snebbers blankly stared at the man that emerged from thin air. "Are you human?", he asked with immense curiosity, although not really showing any signs of it, acting completely formal in case this was the first contact of mankind with another sentient bipedal species.

Actually, no, he didn't care. He just wanted to go home, and then report for work. And then play Titan Conquest all day.

But his life was about to change forever.

"In what way?", the man replied, in a voice strangely similar to Snebbers. The man was eerily exactly as tall as Snebbers as well, and even seemed dressed in similar colours. Same hair, same indifference in his voice.

"What do you mean?", said Snebbers.

"I meant in what way did you mean I was human?", the man uncovered his face, and.. it..

"Huh, you look just like me. Cool", Snebbers said to the man who looked like Snebbers.

"Oh, you look like me too. Cool", the man replied to Snebbers. He then looked at Snebbers' cat, "Hey Pagmie."

"Pagmie?", Snebbers asked.

"Yeah, my—our cat?"

"Her name's Magpie", said Snebbers. "Your cat's name is Pagmie?"

"Yeah, of course her name is Pagmie. Why would it be anything else?", the man replied.

"It would be something else, that is Magpie, here, sir. What's your name, Bnessers?", Snebbers chuckled a bit too loudly.

"Smenners. It does seem to be a strange universe, this one of yours", said the man who looked like Snebbers.

Snebbers pondered for a moment. "Smenners.. okay. I'm Snebbers. Good to meet someone from another parallel universe. Anyway, I am getting late for work, so please excuse me", Snebbers said, and he turned around and started walking away.

"Meow", said Magpie.

"Wait, what am I supposed to do then?", said Smenners. You'd think he was panicking, but you'd be wrong. He definitely wasn't. "I'm supposed report to work too, Snebbers. How do I report to work today? I didn't even take my pho..what..oh well.. I.."

Snebbers couldn't hear Smenners' words anymore, as he'd walked far enough. He didn't turn back and have a look either. "Not my problem", he muttered, as he paced on towards his home. Magpie firmly sat upon his shoulders.

"You're supposed to walk, you know?", Snebbers said to the cat.

"No", Magpie replied.
