A Second World

When I turned on the radio that morning, I didn't expect to hear "Breaking news: a mirror Earth has just been confirmed...".

On Monday, I awoke at 5 a.m., got dressed, ate breakfast, and got into my car, as usual. The news of a mirror earth, on the other hand, was unexpected. According to reports, a planet similar to ours has been detected in our orbit by the International Space Station. Since it was on the other side of our orbit, no one ever noticed it. The photos of Earth 2.0, as it is now known, are similar to our home world. Countries all over the world are racing to be the first to set foot on the new planet. Mars has been neglected now. Everyone has no idea that Earth 2.0 is much more similar to us than we had imagined, and that they, too, are rushing to get here.

Would we be blinded by greed? Or can we all learn to live in harmony? There will be a war, and only the most clever will survive.
