Subject Matter
Genres: science fiction
First Line: Leeland and I had spent two years perfecting the Thomas-Crane molecular duplicator!
Synopsis: Two scientists both love the same beautiful woman Dora. She refuses to go out with either because she doesn't want to hurt the other's feelings. The men then use a duplicating machine to make a copy of her. Both men then prefer the copy of Dora over the original, since she's more pure and sweeter. They then make a copy of her and the two men marry the two copies of Dora. Little did they realize, that copies made in the machine age prematurely and before you know it, they are stuck with two ugly old women.
