Doppelgänger

2026 · 13 min

A short, heightened, darkly comic duel with oneself that feels strange, bitter and oddly cathartic.

Tagline: Sometimes you are your own worst enemy.
Overview: When ten-year old Josie Johns met her doppelgänger, it kicked off a decade of intense and bitter rivalry. Now an adult, Josie is about to confront her double, settle some scores, and take back control of her identity once and for all.
How it feels: Dark, absurd, melancholic and tense. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Identity, obsession, trauma, coming-of-age
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
