“Fielding!”

“Christ, Flavia, you’ll give someone a heart attack sneaking up like that.”

Flavia looked at him with distaste. “Have you written that Jemima Bates review yet?”

“Almost finished.”

“You look like hell, Fielding.”

“I haven’t been myself recently.”

Fielding took the Jemima Bates tape into the viewing room. He had lost count of how many times he had started to watch it and fallen asleep. It was like some dreadful Sisyphean task he had been set. Fielding wondered what the other Fielding was doing. Undoubtedly having more fun than this Fielding was. Was it possible for only one of them to be active at any one time? Perhaps it was like matter and antimatter and the two Fieldings (strangely, Fielding had begun to think of his double as an equal) couldn’t exist at the same time. What was his doppelgänger up to, Fielding wondered? Was its goal to get rid of the original and take his place? Or simply to destroy his life? Whom the gods punish they first make mad, wasn’t that what they said?
