Mary Reilly: Quadratic Equal

Mary Reilly: Quadratic Equal

A Story by Abishai100
"

Adaptation of the Jekyll/Hyde maid-sideshow tell of things psyche, Selfie, eerie, and maybe evil.

"
Adapted tell-fiction/drama of the unusual sideshow-character of Mary Reilly, house-maid of Dr. Jekyll, loosely-inspired by the under-valued humanist Stephen Frears film Mary Reilly (Julia Roberts), an 'extra credit' piece injected in-between my Green Hornet fanfic-trilogy for this Feb.-day. Happy Valentine's, all 
DISCLAIMER: This work of adaptation offers no commercial/explicit ties to any representative person(s)/body and is therefore cast as purely a 'personal' expression for social art (for 'open' views/translations).

JOURNAL_ENTRIES: "I've become so enraptured by my Selfie-psyche immersion magnification studies of the perceptible duality-lines of Realism created by the very-stark accessible physique-form eye view of the mirror-image of myself, moved with an experimental homeopathic substance to think this alter-ego hologram is for-deed something like myself but from the dark-side...Alas, I've had to give my mirror-image Selfie its/his own name and demeanor-category and personality shape label and even known/tangible ID, for he is my evil alter-ego itself, and I, a doctor, am now facing my 'Mister-Evil' other-person come through the mirror universe for exam...And despite all these misgivings of my mirror-fractured once-singular Selfie created by a 'broken'-mirror, my alternate-self, Mister Evil, is for-deed a villain, behind the bloody-murder of a flight-attendant, a British Airways lady, which made me distant from the lovely dutiful house/lab maid who cares for me, a Ms. Mary Reilly (Facebook-like)."



MARY: Here is that acid you wanted from the chemistry store for purchase, sir.
MISTER-EVIL: You foolish lady of God, I'm not the good doctor you care for here!
MARY: What you speak for this madness' eve here, sir (Selfie-like)?
MISTER-EVIL: I tell you truth, for I've encompassed your employer by mirror.
MARY: You insist you've become an alternate-self because of a mirror-hypnosis.
MISTER-EVIL: I tell you incomplete-truth, Mary Reilly, and I love you (almost).
MARY: This is either madness or evil, but no haven, good doctor.
MISTER-EVIL: I'm not that doctor you know, poor poor lady of God!



JOURNAL_ENTRIES: "I now fear something bad, for Mister Evil has made some form for 'first-contact' with my lovely house/lab maid-lady, the goodly Mary Reilly, who'd no inkling of the Realism behind the existence of my alternate-self who came through the mirror and is either his own 'being' completely/incompletely or myself having gone completely/incompletely mad honestly thinking/knowing/imagining he and I are (somehow) same in spirits (damn)...Mary Reilly had to be confronted, and so I did so, and when I inquired of her 'know' of any existence of a 'Mister-Evil' for her input, she insisted my Selfie-sense was my own lab/psychology/home-life business distant from her lady-like care for my scientific/human person (wow)...Despite these misgivings, I must insist there's something oddly/ironically (completely) Facebook-like about Mary."



MISTER-EVIL: Here I am again, Ms. Reilly, to find you mine (ha).
MARY REILLY: You are that good-doctor my employer, sir (damn).
MISTER-EVIL: Your good doctor employer hadn't conceived of a mirror-place.
MARY REILLY: Had you any notion to take some acid-antidote to this gibberish?
MISTER-EVIL: So shocked you ask me, Mary, for I do...and I ingest it now for you.
MARY REILLY: What?
MISTER-EVIL: If this 'potion' sees me dead, neither your doctor nor I can love.
MARY REILLY: What?
MISTER-EVIL: Watch me now, Mary Reilly...as I drink this for you to see your IQ.
MARY REILLY: Care for your self, distant sir.
MISTER-EVIL: Aha, I've drunk it now, Ms. Reilly...and alas, my strength leaves.
MARY-REILLY: Damn, you're dying, sir!
MISTER-EVIL: Farewell, Mary Reilly; may they bury me for tell of special teams.
MARY-REILLY: Wow.
