So, I'm writing my own fan fic Stevenson's famous tale "Jekyll & Hyde". As my ideas have run out, I´m prologue here. I hope you will read it and write back to me.
OBLIVION
Prologue
“I am going to ask this only one more time; open this door and let us in!”
That is what I heard him shouting behind the door. I knew he and Poole would have something to break the door. Running would be useless. Where would I go? Entire London knows that I am wanted for murder. But also the idea that I would have to face court just so that they could hang me is also too much. So I look a little bottle in my hands. I don’t want to do it, but what other choice do I have? One last time I try to beg mercy.
“Utterson, in Gods name, have pity!” I shrieked.
Now I heard how they were breaking the door. My hand is trembling so that I’m afraid that bottle may fall and crash. I raised it to my lips and drink it.
I knew that poison would effect soon, but it still surprised me. I would have probably screamed, if pain would not have become so familiar to me during past months. I can’t anymore see clearly, the blessed darkness is taking me. Soon there will be no more pain.
The door is now open. I can just barley see Gabriel’s feet’s when he comes in. Oh, how I would love to see Mary’s feet’s again. It is said that at the moment of death your entire life flashes in your mind. In a way it is true. When you die you think about your life.
My name is Henry James Jekyll and this is my story.
Well, should I continue? If I dont get replies i take it no-one is intrested.

Chapter 1
I was born in 1842 in a good family. I lived most of my childhood on a countryside, where my family had some land. I used to admire nature so much. I loved summers when there are so many colours. I looked in wonder how summer changed in autumn and to winter and so on. I know it does not sound like so big thing, but for me it was. It was because of my hunger for knowledge. Perhaps my fate was sealed then already. I never said that I would want to be a doctor of anything.
My mother, God bless her soul, was a beautiful woman. She always had a smile to give anyone. I remember how she used to sing. She could have become a singer. My father started as a regular doctor but he soon became a surgeon. Well known also and soon we had to stay in London. We didn’t go to country any so often.
My hunger for knowledge soon made me follow my father’s footsteps. I started to study medicine and anatomy. It didn’t take long for me to get to the top of my glass. Future seemed bright. Then my mother died. I was told that she had fell in stairs or something like that. My father was a broke man after that. He did got shock and also died few months later. After his funerals I was told by my aunt what had really happened. My father had caught mother in the hands of her lover. My father beat her to death with his gold headed cane. It was not death of my mother but the knowledge what he had done that drove him to early grave.
My sweet innocent mother was a harlot. My honourable father was a murderer. A murder weapon was the same cane he carried with him so lightly. These facts made me realize something that I didn’t admit to myself until years later. My own parents had made me realize that man is not one… but truly two.
