Ethan stared at the ceiling, relishing the moments of early morning tranquility. The room was dim, still bathed in shadows before dawn. He stretched lazily, expecting the cool sheets to welcome him back into slumber. Instead, as his hand brushed against something unexpected beneath the covers, he froze.
A lump lay next to him, larger than any stray pillow. Heart pounding, he pulled the sheet back in one swift motion. What he discovered sent him scuttling backward, nearly tumbling off the bed.
There, on the mattress, lay an exact clone of himself—but without a head. Panic tinged his rational thinking, but curiosity urged him forward. *Was this real?* he thought.
As if responding to his unspoken question, the headless body sat up, arms stretching in a silent yawn, muscles rippling beneath the skin. It rubbed its hands lazily over its hairy chest before one of its hands moved to touch Ethan's chest, mirroring the sensation. Ethan shuddered, feeling the connection with eerie clarity.
Could this headless form truly be him—or part of him?
He hesitantly reached out, letting his fingers graze the body’s arm. Almost instantaneously, a rush of warmth, reassurance, and a surreal feeling of euphoria flowed through him. The connection between them—beyond physical—was undeniable.
A thought crossed his mind, unbidden and strange: *Hold me.*
Responding without hesitation, the headless clone leaned forward, enveloping Ethan in a firm, affectionate embrace. Strong hands began to massage Ethan's back, and he sighed, melting into the sensation. Holding himself, being held, was oddly comforting, a euphoria he had never experienced.
But before he could dive too deeply into the sensation, he felt a tapping on his shoulder. He turned and saw yet another headless clone standing by the bed. Beyond surprise now, Ethan opened his mouth, but words failed him as his stomach let out a loud grumble.
The newly arrived clone seemed to read his mind or perhaps his physical need and turned to leave the room. He heard the soft padding of its feet before the sounds of pots and pans clinking in the distance reached his ears. He instinctively knew that breakfast was being made.
Still lost in a whirlwind of emotions and sensations, Ethan almost didn’t notice the soft rustling coming from the closet. The door creaked open, revealing a third headless clone stepping forward, joining them. It climbed into the bed with a grace that belied its eerie form.
All three bodies mirrored Ethan perfectly, every muscle, every curve of their physique identical. Their touches ranged from comforting to exploratory. Fingers traced paths over flesh, sending waves of electric connection between all of them. Each touch felt like an extension of his own desires and sensations.
As the headless bodies intertwined with him in a dance of mutual exploration, the rich smells of breakfast wafted from the kitchen. Bacon, eggs, coffee—all intermingling in the air, grounding him in the reality of the surreal moment.
Time seemed to blur. The headless forms caressed, embraced, and each interaction heightened Ethan's understanding of himself. They moved in perfect harmony until a soft bell chimed from the kitchen, signaling that breakfast was ready.
Ethan gently disentangled himself from the headless forms and gingerly stepped out of bed. As he walked toward the kitchen, the clones followed. The morning light began to seep into the room, casting a golden hue over everything.
Life, it seemed, had taken on an entirely new dimension. The man who woke up alone had now found a mysterious, headless yet intimate company.
And as they sat together, enjoying the breakfast prepared by his own phantom cook, Ethan's mind raced with the possibilities of what could lie ahead.

Prompt: write a story about a man who wakes up in bed and notices a large form next to him under the covers. When he pulls the sheet from the lump, he discovers an exact clone of him, but missing the head. after recovering from the shock, he wonders if the headless body is real. in reaction to his unspoken thought, the headless body sits up and lifts its arms up in a silent yawn, then rubs its hands over its hairy chest, and then runs a hand over the man’s chest to prove it is really there. The man is amazed, because he could also feel sensations from the headless body as it moved. as soon as the idea appears in his mind, the headless body acts on it and takes the man into its embrace and starts massaging his back, and the feeling of embracing himself is euphoric. The man then feels a hand tapping on his shoulder, and when he looks, he sees another headless clone standing next to the bed. the man’s stomach makes loud grumbling sounds, and the second headless body reads his mind and turns to go to the kitchen and cook breakfast. Then a third headless clone walks out of the closet and joins him in the bed, and the three of them explore each other as the smells of breakfast cooking waft from the kitchen.
