Well, the story is basically this: I'm trapped in a huge tower jail cell, that is some sort of quantum jail thing, and every "major" version of me is there as well (me as the main character plays the central me). I need some ideas as to what other "versions" of me I could include, as well as some reasons why every version of me would be plucked out of every dimension.
Some versions of me I've already thought of:
Hacker me
Scientists me
Central me
Angry me
Sad me
Philosopher me
Plot twist: the cell where the quantum physicist should be is EMPTY moahahaha

Since that's al you've got, there's the best advice you could ever get on writing: write all you've got and end it when you're done.
That is, tell you situation in needed details and be over with it. If you have no idea about something, like additional you-s for your (rather silly) premise, don't bother with it. If your main course in the empty cell, tell about it when you're two-thirds done.
There is a decent plan for your short story (what, wanna write a novel? that's a spankin'):
- "I'm trapped in a huge tower jail cell that seems to be some sort of quantum jail thing, and every known version of me is there as well." That might be your first sentence.
- All of you-s unanimously decide that to untangle the goddamn situation, you gotta find a you that is some kind of scientist.
- Nobody present is one, so you gotta go check all the cells.
- The sad you sitting alone in his cell is much-a trouble, holy fuck;
- The philosopher you is even more so, because at first you mistake him for a physicist;
- The cell that obviously belongs to the physicist (philosopher might lead you-s to it or something else) is fucking empty;
- and not only that, but it seems his cell is different: it's some kind of a lab block that seemingly was torn out of some other building. This is where you shouldn't tell, but show. Don't explain, only picture, or you'll rob your reader of all the fun.
- Oh boy. All of you-s reminiscene on the happenings while retelling authors general views on life. Fin.
Hope that helps. I also hope you can write.
And don't shoot for more than about 25,000-30,000 symbols (5,000-7,000 words), okay?
