Mr. Hyde & You (A Short Story)

"Born in a time of love
Facing the winds of pain
Storm's brewing up above
I was breaking, I was breaking
Just to raise you up
From the grave of your mistakes
Pleasure is a kind of pain
Have I had enough?
'Cause I keep wrestlin' with snakes
Sick of all the slippery stuff
Are you Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me?"

Bishop Briggs - JEKYLL & HYDE

■

Around the year 1886 a very intelligent young woman gets to meet two men. One of them seems noble and charming but the other disgraceful and menacing to society.

In the Victorian London in which the hierarchy of different kinds of casts decides on who shall be condemned to live in poverty or shall have the opportunity to rise out of one's miserable status, the young woman goes through rough living conditions. However, her encounter with these two men lifts her up from her poor origins and changes her life for the better or for the worse. Life seems to be in a perfect order, despite of a few unbalanced inconveniences, but one discovery of a curious secret leads her suddenly to the question:
What is it that makes Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde tightly connected with each other and how is she related to that mysterious kind of bond?

This is a fanfiction that contains heavy topics like swearing, sexual content, mental disorder and violence!

I do not own the classic novella "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson but my story is loosely based on the novella.
