Synopsis for "There are Two of Me... and One Must Die!"
A man who wishes to control his anger buys a Chinese lamp which promises that it will separate out madness when lit. It works, and produces an evil doppelganger which threatens to destroy the good version. The evil one raids the man's bank account and hires a couple of diggers to dig a grave and coat it with lime so it will destroy every shred of existence and the evil version can take the place of the good. The man's son sees the two of them so he believes his father's story about the evil version trying to destroy him and decides to leave his father by himself in order to smoke the evil version out of hiding. The son pulls a gun on the two of them as the evil one attempts to throw the good one into the lime pit, but they both say that they are the good one. The son thinks he can tell which one is lying because one is sweating and the other is not. When he brandishes the gun, one of the men falls into the lime pit and is killed. The story's ending is ambiguous as to whether it was the good or evil version that fell into the pit.
