Conflict.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are still fighting....

Two separate personalities in one body, each one fighting for dominance. Dr. Jekyll's always been dominant as he was the original, but now he's hanging on for dear life. Hanging on a cliff, with Hyde's boot crushing his fingers.
Hyde and Jekyll's conflict has been going for over sixteen years, Jekyll is a weaker, kinder, easily hurt and caring person, with a tinge of melancholy. Yet Hyde is an arrogant, competitive,carefree, pain inflicting extrovert. I don't have a side because I am both and neither. There are usually ups and downs in the conflict, one may be winning but the next day he may be losing dismally. But lately Jekyll has suffered too many hard hits to the chest and has been coughing up blood, wiping it all over the walls as he struggles to stand. Hyde in the main time savouring this occasion, watching yet not acting, giving no input as Jekyll is already on the verge of death. He feels compelled to run over with his knife and deal the final blow, yet his time has yet not come. So he is merely waiting, watching the clock.

Soon enough Hyde's time will come and he will torment Jekyll for a few beautiful minutes, so beautiful in fact that he'll cringe in delight then end his sorry life. So Jekyll needs a miracle if he still has the will to fight, maybe he'll get it before Mr.Hyde's watchful eye sees the timer hit zero. Or maybe Jekyll will watch Hyde walk over to him, grinning ear to ear.
