Entry 1
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
Such a classic tale. A well known one, at that. I’ve always been fascinated by the idea. Perhaps it’s stupid of I, but I want to attempt something. An experiment. I’ve taken notes on where he failed. What he did wrong, and how I can improve it. People will think I’m insane, following some story, but I know what I’m doing. I’m not stupid.
Entry 2
Here is what I’ve gathered about Jekyll’s failures. The main mistake was that Hyde was part of himself. Inside of his Jekyll, there was still Hyde. He didn’t truly split the two. So I’m going to do what he failed to. I’ve created a vessel - a robot - to carry my “Hyde”. I do not wish to split my “good” and “evil”, however. Just the positive and the negative. The negative is going into the robot. The positive will be left with whatever remains of me, so hopefully I can continue to live, but instead happily. I won’t have to worry about being sad ever again. I will simply leave the robot… locked away, perhaps? It feels wrong. Is it unethical? No- no. I’m overthink this. It’s just a robot. It doesn’t matter. Im not going to write down what I do. If this fails I don’t want anyone else following in my footsteps.
Entry 3
It’s been a few days. I’m nearly certain I’ve got it, but I’m afraid. There’s so many things that could go wrong. I’ve noted the two main possibilities of what will happen. A., I will have the “negative” parts of me distributed into the vessel, and the rest will stay with me. B., a second human, or human-like thing, may form. If this is the case, my body will be left an empty husk. So be it.
Entry 4
I don’t think this is a good idea. It’s too risky.
Entry 5
The other half won’t hear what’s had to say.
Entry 6
I have everything sitting in front of me, the knife in hand. God, I must, but God, I cannot.
