There's a mysterious (possibly government-created) sandstorm hitting the town of Night Vale, but for the most part, its business as usual as Cecil takes listener e-mails, updates everybody on local sports and traffic, and reports on the exact, murderous duplicates of everybody which have suddenly appeared. That is until a mysterious blue portal appears in the studio, and Cecil enters to see where it leads....

There's a mysterious (possibly government-created) sandstorm hitting the town of Night Vale, but for the most part, its it's business as usual as usual. Cecil takes listener e-mails, e-mails and updates everybody on local sports and traffic, traffic.

Traffic: Highway officials warn Night Vale residents to stay off the roads. The sandstorm makes travel nearly impossible. Several cars are stalled. Many drivers fought what appeared to be their clones. All stop signs
and reports traffic lights taken down for polishing.

Old Woman Josie has posted some runes on her Facebook: "They come in twos. You come in twos. You and you. Kill your double." Also, adorable cat gifs.

Financial news??? There is a child dragging a hatchet, his eyes cast down and tight. His eyes are superfluous. He knows not what he sees but he knows what is there. A single black-winged beast alights
on the exact, murderous duplicates child's shoulder. The beast picks at the boy's ear. Clouds keep poisonous rains at bay. The bird knows. The boy throws a hatchet at something.

Mayor has declared state
of everybody emergency. Everyone must stay in their homes. Then she says she was lying, and that was an impostor. She wrestles her double for the microphone.

Cecil says not to murder your double. Violence is not the answer. Dayna the intern is fighting her double.

Word from our sponsors: Home improvement project. Incomplete? Having strange feelings? Is your body filled with hot blood, waving curves of sinew and skin? Can you feel that blood? Is it even your blood? Are you dizzy from it all? Where are your hands now? Where are they going? Where are you going? What is trust? Is making a thing proof that you exist? Is fixing a thing proof that you have transcended mortality? History? Feel things? Feel things? We can help. The Home Depot.

One Dayna is dead but the other is alive and Cecil doesn't know
which have suddenly appeared. That is until the original and which is the double. An email from Steve Carrelsburg: he believes the sandstorm is a coverup created by the government. Cecil says of course it is; the government can do anything.

Another reporter appears in the studio from Desert Bluffs. He believes he has gone back in time.

After the weather, Cecil has returned. He saw his clone (possibly) in the vortex and almost killed it, but remembered his stance against violence and let it live.
