The Birthing

by Robert Stetson

This is the story of Professor Edgar Pelion ,who creates a replicator. He finds more than a way to clone people. He finds proof of a single universal soul. Edgar gets more than he bargains for when he realizes that people under hypnosis, speaking languages, accurately recounting things, are not demon possessed but having recollection of their former lives. He makes an exact copy of himself. He has an empathic link to the clone. He can feel what the replicant is feeling. It turns its gaze, and their eyes lock. It is like a lightning bolt, as they each know what the other is thinking. He freezes in fear as the other becomes aware that he will have to destroy it.
