Alexander had always been fascinated by the concept of time travel. He spent years tinkering in his workshop, trying to create a machine that could transport him through time. Finally, after many failed attempts, he managed to build one that could move him backwards in time by five minutes.
With excitement and a great deal of trepidation, Alexander climbed into the machine and set the dials. After a five minute launch procedure, the machine hummed to life. Alexander felt a strange sensation wash over him. Suddenly, he was back in time, standing just a few feet away from himself.
Alexander's clone looked just as surprised as he did, and the two men started arguing about who should test the machine first. Neither of them wanted to miss out on the chance to experience time travel, so they decided to go back in time together.
As they emerged from the time machine, they were very surprised to meet the two Alexanders arguing over who should test the machine first. The four of them stared at each other in disbelief, but quickly realized that they were all versions of the same person.
Upon this realisation, their eyes all lit up and all four climbed through the portal.
"Soon our army will rule the world!" they cackled in unison....
