The Enigma of Miss Hyde
By Fre Jorgles

18 Aug, 2023

In the heart of mysterious London, amidst the shrouded fog and cobblestone streets, resided a peculiarly fascinating individual— Dr. Jekyll. His days were consumed by his medical practice and scientific research.

Dr Jekyll's nights, however, were an enigma. He seemed drawn to the vibe of dimly lit cafes and back-alleys, where he assumed the persona of Miss Hyde.

His transformation into Miss Hyde was an instantaneous, inexplicable phenomenon that occurred as the clock struck midnight. Regardless, the change was unsettling.

Miss Hyde possessed skills and traits that were distinctly different from Dr Jekyll— a wicked charm, an uncanny intuition, and a craving for adventure.

Revelling in the strange bond she shared with Dr Jekyll, Miss Hyde set out on a quest to ascertain her true identity. Her quest began with exploring the doctor's residence.

She examined carefully Dr Jekyll's study, piecing together the scattered remnants of his work, hoping to discern a pattern, a clue, anything that might hint at her peculiar existence.

One night, Miss Hyde stumbled upon a hidden compartment in Dr Jekyll's desk. Inside, she found a strange serum and an old, tattered journal filled with cryptic entries.

The entries were undoubtedly Dr Jekyll's— a complex mixture of scientific observations and philosophical musings. It was as if the doctor were grappling with his own duality.

Fascinated, Miss Hyde delved deeper. The journal revealed that the serum was a potion concocted by Dr Jekyll in his pursuit of understanding human duality.

The potion was a way of splitting the good and evil contained within every individual. It seemed that the doctor had inadvertently created a physical manifestation of his own alter ego— Miss Hyde.

The revelation was overwhelming, but it brought a sense of clarity. Miss Hyde finally understood her existence— she was the embodiment of Dr Jekyll's hidden desires and suppressed emotions.

The journal also revealed that Dr Jekyll was living under the constant fear of being permanently lost to his alter ego, a fear that was growing with each transformation.

The fear was justified. The transitions began to occur more frequently and unpredictably— in public places, in broad daylight. The once distinct line between Dr Jekyll and Miss Hyde began to blur.

Miss Hyde realized that if she wanted to continue her existence without causing harm to Dr Jekyll or arousing suspicion among his contemporaries, she needed to find a solution.

Having read about the serum's composition in the journal, Miss Hyde decided to tamper with the remaining serum, hoping to alleviate its side effects.

Using her intellect and intuition, she spent countless nights altering the potion. She was persistent, driven by the desire to protect the doctor and their shared existence.

Finally, with trembling hands and hopeful heart, she administered the modified potion to herself, just as the clock struck midnight and her reflection in the mirror was transforming into Dr Jekyll.

Dr Jekyll woke up the next morning feeling unusually peaceful. There was a sense of harmony within him, as if a balance had been restored.

The transformation, when it happened that night, was smooth and painless. There was also a newfound control, as if he could choose when to let Miss Hyde take charge.

Dr Jekyll's fears were quelled, and Miss Hyde's existence was secure. The discovery of their unique bond had ultimately led to their mutual survival.

Their dual existence provided them with unique vantage points— Dr Jekyll's scientific curiosity and rationality during daylight, and Miss Hyde's adventurous spirit and instinct by moonlight.

They found a bizarre kind of fulfillment in their shared existence, each complementing the other and making the whole. They became two sides of the same coin, coexisting harmoniously in a single body.

This strange journey helped them to understand and accept themselves in ways which they had never imagined. Their unusual bond taught them the value of unity in diversity, of harmony in duality.

Dr Jekyll continued his medical practice and research, while Miss Hyde took to the streets at night, exploring the city's mysteries and living life adventurously.

And so, they lived as Dr Jekyll and Miss Hyde, each one secure in their own identity, each making peace with their peculiar existence, and each finding comfort in their shared solitude.

Their story became a legend, whispered softly in the alleys of London. A tale of two identities sharing a single body, a tale of mystery, transformation, and self-discovery.
