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.
