lyrics

"John Fenn"

‘My name is John Fenn.’

A week ago I keyed my name into the search field of my browser and hit Enter.

There were thousands of matches for the name John Fenn. They lived all over the world. They were doctors, surf shop owners, government officials, sanitary workers, lecturers, marketing consultants, sex workers, killers, actors, unemployed and - and they all looked like me.

‘Impossible!’ I mumbled.

Hour after hour I checked their profiles and each John Fenn shared the same date and same year of birth. All the photos of all the John Fenns showed the same unmistakable physical characteristics.

‘But … our faces are all virtually identical.’

‘We are John Fenn.’

Until this morning.

I searched my name online again and noticed that obituaries, death notices, were appearing for John Fenns. Lots of them. New ones were popping up every few minutes. There were tributes and funeral announcements. More and more of them. Dearly loved. Loving husband of. Passed away suddenly. Peacefully at home. Unexpectedly gone. Taken from his beloved.

Page after page, it went on. I was transfixed.

This afternoon I started getting chest pains.
I don’t feel at all well.

‘My name is John Fenn. I think I am about to die.’
