Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
The Last Will and Testament of Lee Ping
I had always wondered about the human psyche. Two sides to the human soul, three parts like what Freud suggested, I guess I was lucky to only have two.
One day when out on the town I found a bust of the Roman god Janus. Never would my wife Tina have allowed it to be in the house while she lived and I can understand that. It is not the kind of thing anyone wants in their house based on look but it is unique nonetheless.
When I got home and I was in my study, I found myself translated as they say in the Shakespearean sense. I found my evil half and realized that with my own hypocrisy I was unable to engage in many of the vices in human nature. I am not pure good but rather both good and evil but I discovered this this other side of me was nothing but evil thus why I refer to him as my evil side.
I eventually gave him the name of Lynch Webber, naming him after an old patient of mine. There was a resemblance but he was shorter and younger this evil side of mine.
I enjoyed becoming Lynch. When I became Lynch I was able to take part in the vices I was never able to. I refused to take responsibility for Lynch's actions even though I enjoyed them and now look where it has taken me. I killed Basil Hagen merely because he once knocked into me while walking.
In fear that the transformation may become permanent, I made Lynch my heir. Now that Lynch has done what he has done I cannot allow it. Not to any of my children who are well enough but to my friend Holger Holgaart, the barrister who has always had money troubles, I hope this will help him.
So do we die.
THE END
This story was inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's novella "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." I changed the setting to the 1950's and the way of the transformation to something supernatural so those familiar with the original story would not know what was coming.
