-->'''Agent Smith:''' It seems that you've been living two lives. In one life you're Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company. You have a Social Security number, you pay your taxes, and you help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers where you go by the hacker alias "Neo", and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not.

* In the [[Literature/Dragonlance]] novel "Dragons of Winter Night" the wizard Fizban uses a dragon orb to peer into the future, describing it to Tasselhoff Burrfoot as "two paths before us", the first of which is tranquil and well-lit, but will lead to ruin. The second of which, which he later confirms to Tasselhoff they are on, is "the dark path, that ''may'' lead to salvation."

* ''VideoGame/TheStanleyParable'', an EnvironmentalNarrativeGame exploring the concepts of choice and freedoms in video game storytelling, uses a version of this trope with two doors as a central motif. The BigFirstChoice features Stanley (and conversely you, the player) approaching a room with two doors, with the narrator saying "When Stanley came to a set of two open doors, he entered the door on his left." The game's developers have revealed that they spent a lot of time designing the layout of the otherwise plain, generic room just to communicate to the player that the choice of which door to take is critical, yet valid with either decision.
