Young Man Sees a Little Boy in the Park Who Is a Carbon Copy of Him as a Child – Story of the Day
A young man sees a little replica of himself at the park, and it leads him down the rabbit hole of finding out about his parents’ messy past.
George Thorn had no worries in the world. He was a young man of 27 who had worked as a chef at his favorite restaurant which was located at the heart of the city he lived in.
His house was just a stone’s throw from the restaurant, which made it easy for him to and fro. After work every day, the young man would hang his apron and take a quick walk across the road to a park where the city natives loved to spend time on breezy days.

One day he was walking in the park, taking in the ambient scene, when he heard a boy shout, “Out of the way!”
As soon as he heard the scream, his attention snapped to the boy careening towards him on an out-of-control snowboard, but there was no time to move out of the way, so they both collided, and the kid ended up on his butt.
“Owww,” the boy said as he looked up offensively at George while rubbing his head.
“I got hit but you’re the one screaming?” George joked as he picked the boy up and went down on a knee to look into the boy’s eyes.
That’s when it hit him — the resemblance between them.
It was so strong that George could have sworn he was staring at his younger self. It took him some moments to get past that to ask if the boy had gotten bruised.
“I’m okay and sorry for running into you,” the kid said with a cheeky smile just like George’s.
At the risk of seeming too interested in the child, he let him go on playing with his snowboard but sat close by, watching and waiting to see his parents.
“How can that boy be a complete copy of me?” he wondered. “He’s definitely not mine — I’m a virgin after all.” He had never been intimate with a woman, but the boy looked like his son.
Immersed in his thoughts, he did not quickly notice the boy being taken by a woman. It took him some moments to notice the boy was gone and then another few to locate them moving towards the street to get a cab.
