A Rainy Night in New York

Eddie Morino paced the night-time streets of New York, lost amongst his own thoughts. He did not know where he was walking, he just needed to get out and let his mind and legs wander. He peered through the driving rain, which was so common in New York City at this time of year. He noticed the lights of a thousand cars and the colours of hundreds of neon shop signs, bright, in his face. He saw how the images shimmered in the ever-growing puddles at his feet. It was these images that helped him in times like this. He had been working on a case now for two weeks and his clues seemed to have dried up. The reflections in the puddles changed, took on new shapes as people and cars caused the water to ripple. To Eddie, this change, this new angle, helped him look at the facts in a new way. It all began like this.       

 Eddie is a man who thinks life is unfair. He is a scientist who wants to be the famous man in New York City. He wanted to invent a machine that cloned  people, for the ones who wanted a brother or sister. So Monday morning he goes to the laboratory and starts making his great machine. His friends thought he was crazy, but he didn't pay much attention to what they say. He spent hours and hours trying to make that machine. Suddenly IT WAS FINISHED!!!! But he had to ry it out to see if it worked.

So he started thinking who or what could see if it really works. He  goes to his house and started thinking. The next day he went to his machine and tried with himself. On the one hand, he was afraid because if something bad happened to the machine he would have to stay there for ever and the clone would be his identity, but on the other hand he was HAPPY because he would be famous so that was the dream he wanted to get to. He get to the laborite, he saw the machine and gulped. He turned on the machine.... and he step slowly onto the machine. It started making strange noises that  were very unusual. SUDDLENLY the machine stopped all was very calm and quiet, smoke started coming threw the door of the machine. Mr. Eddie was in there. He started walking threw door and immediately stopped. He started seeing the room. He goes out of the laborite and a friend of him said:"you are ok Mr. Eddie” "Am I ¿Mr. Eddie ?" "Yes" Sudanly he started ranging to street shouting ¿were I am? ¿ who I am ?.Eddie was not Eddie He was the clone! Some days went by and he started getting usual to the city of New York. He started being famous and a grate scientist too.

5 years went by and he went to that room that was abandned nobody went there. So he sees the clone magine. He started looking at it and by accident  turned on. He get into it and the machine started working , there was a lot of smoke  in the room and suddenly there he was in that room  Mr. Eddie was the one who had been for  5 years in that machine. He looked old with wrinkles in the face. He started smiling and jumping; he was happy very happy. He ran threw the door to the others rooms, there their were his friends, he said "here I am me Eddie the real Eddie”(NOT VERY CLEAR) the friend started laughing at him. He shut the door very rudely and went to the street very angrily. Immediately it started raining.
