I Live with You By Carol Emshwiller




I find this to be a very creepy story. Someone who looks like you moves into your house and micro manages your life. Just the thought of having some stranger spying on you, eating your food at night, and wearing your cloths is disturbing. She is not trying to hurt the women, though she might be trying to make her go mad. But then she gets bored and wants to make her life better, well their life. I think the internal dialog in the narrator’s head is very intriguing. How she refers to thing in the house as ours. And she says we and us instead of I.  It is very strange how the woman knows she is living in her house and doesn’t do anything about it. I was wondering at first if maybe she had a split personality or something. But the ending is pretty clear that it was just another person living in someone’s house. The scary thing is that this has actually happened before.
