Jekyll and Hyde IIII

Author's Note: We all want things that we know are bad for us. Everyone has dangerous fascinations and unhealthy fixations; some of them are a little harder to explain than others. But most of us know how to keep our impulses in check. We use willpower to fight off our darker instincts. Unfortunately, for others, willpower just isn't enough. The siren call of one's own obsession; simply too strong to resist. The thing we used to want, becomes the thing we now need. Our obsession becomes our compulsion... until eventually we realize, pursuing the one thing we want most in life, has left us without much of a life at all. But in the end, our compulsions are still there. Even if they have pushed us to the brink of death. Or guided us into places of unimaginable horror.

Jekyll thought over his worries for this dangerous, poisonous, rather scarce drug of his creation - this potion that transformed his body from a man of intelligence and wisdom, to this hidden person of interest and crime. (I kind of feel like this man was incredibly filled with an enormous amount of pure stupidity.) As long as Jekyll's back, Hyde can get away with any mess he makes... unless of course Hyde can no longer be hidden. Possibilities ran through the doctor's head rapidly, that possessed his mind:

What if this isn't safe?

What if I somehow trap myself into the wrong side of me?

What if there's no going back?

What if?

The worries were rather apocryphal, until his fantasies turned to reality. For several nights, going to bed as Jekyll, a surprise guest reflected in the mirror one morning - Mr. Hyde. 

How?

The father/son relationship revealed itself within the story, as an executive decision had to be made by Jekyll. Without this doctors intention nor permission, Hyde revealed himself. When the mystery came unveiled even further, the two lives of this one man became more threatened each day. Each hour. Each minute. Jekyll had let this come too far, granting his mind to weaken so much that his potion planted itself in his body. Hyde lived in his body. It all came down to one executive decision between this father/son; sacrifice. To rid this horrid character of Hyde so he exists no more, it is up to Jekyll to take control again, live his last moments as the criminal creation of the devil, and end it in the only way possible. 

Death.
