Fog

Fog slowly creeps throughout the house

Making its way through the doors

Into the bedroom

Where a man peacefully lies

It seeps into the cracks

Up onto the mans body

Calmly it begins to wrap around him

His eyes pierce open

While his body begins to feel tighter and tighter

Inch by inch the fog suffocates him

A soft screams lets out, for no one to hear

Trapped

His body begins to react

Constant moment to escape from this horrible reality

Death was soon to come

The fog wouldn’t leave

Gradually the mans body was covered

The fog had taken over

It was taking the man with him

As the struggle of escape gradually came to a stop

A light appeared into his eyes

A bright, blinding light grasped his attention

A sense of peace hit him

Heaven had called

He was being lead into a better place

He was free

The fog had overwhelmed him into rising to the top

Confused and terrified as the man was

The fog washing away his body

He had reached a better place now

As the fog whispered with delightment.

Jekyll turns into Hyde

I took a deep breath as I slowly raise the glass of potion from my sweaty hands to my dry mouth. The color of the purple and blue substances intrigues me. My emotions are running high, thoughts are scattered throughout my brain.. 'What is going to happen next?" "Can I die from this!?" Before I could change my mind, or back down; I took a sip.. and then another sip, and before I knew it the glass was empty... "What did I just drink!?" no one knew. Nothing happened for a while, just the taste of strawberry banana savored in my mouth. Until a unexpected tingle hit me. I wasn't scared, but more interested.. interested to discover what was going to happen next. 

It wasn't long before I began to feel evil inside me, the thought of anger and negativity obsessed throughout my body. Who had I become? I looked in the mirror but all I saw was the reflection of the same man I've been staring at ever since I had been alive; Jekyll. This wasn't me, these feelings weren't the happy, innocent, intelligent guy of Dr. Jekyll. I was someone new, a darker more devilish man; I went by the name of Mr. Hyde. My mind couldn’t comprehend these last couple minutes, everything seemed so surreal. The unthinkable happened. A sip of potion, and I (Jekyll) had changed into a new man, not on the outside, but on the inside. We weren’t different, we were identical twins; our feelings weren’t the same but our appearance came off as one man. “What is going to happen now!?” I questioned, “Will I ever be Jekyll again?” Time quickly flew by as I was thinking of all the possible solutions to get myself out of this mess, only to realize the drink was slowly fading off. I was beginning to be Jekyll again, with the happiness and innocent I lived for. My mind still wondered about the potion, and the curiosity killed me inside, wanting to know what I just drank, and who I had just become. 

Alone

Silent nights, laying in your bed
emotions running through you,
you're screaming inside, but no one can hear you

alone, alone no one is there for you
to take away your pain,
your sadness

you need an escape, but there's no where to run
the thought of nobody, sinks deep into your stomach
stabs you in the heart


alone, alone no one is there for you
to take away your pain,
your sadness

a tear drop seeps into the corner of your mouth
no sounds let out,
just the silent water washing you away

alone, alone no one is there for you
to take away your pain,
your sadness

no friends, no family, no loved ones
you, yourself have to fend on your own
lost in this huge world, what step to take next

alone, alone no one is there for you
to take away your pain,
your sadness

Jekyll and Hyde

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde show the diversity of good vs. evil. This Gothic novel compares and contrasts the Doppelganger effect. The alternate identity of these two provides the definition of exact polar opposites. With Christ-like figures mention throughout this writing, it has been portrayed that Jekyll would be the definition of Heaven and Hyde as as the figure from Hell. Heaven (Jekyll) is the light in life, bringing happiness and energy in a positive way. Will Hell (Hyde) sucks away life from everyone and everything. He is the dark-alter ego of Jekyll, having a obsession of wanting to be him. The desire to be good haunts him inside knowing Jekyll will always be one step ahead of him. Stevenson piece tires to send a message of the comparison between these two alternate identities. With Jekyll trying to send out the meaning of innocence and contentment, Hyde is using his devious powers to destroy that, and send out the meaning of anger and hate.  Coming back to the Doppelganger effect, this parallel figure has came to the conclusion that not only do Jekyll and Hyde have alternate identities towards one another, it lead to conclusion of being identical twins.
