This is a piece of short fiction originally published as a Twitter thread, which is now a Hugo Awards finalist, and yes, it's really good.
I feel old.
A person on their phone one night gets a text from an unknown number, making the unlikely claim, "I'm you."
"You" from an alternate timeline, it develops.
This person had a rough childhood and adolescence, and eventually the word dysphoria is mentioned. One version of this person eventually got serious therapy; the other did serious physics research.
One of these routes was more successful than the other in dealing with their serious difficulty in dealing with life.
And I can't really say more than that. Just read it.
Even if, like me, you feel too old to deal with this crazy town business of original fiction being published on Twitter. 😲
