Jekyll and Hyde revisited

A letter from Mr. Gabriel John Utterson:

Since we have last met, I must say my life has taken a dreadful turn for the worse. After reading the letters of my good friend Dr. Jekyll I was determined to prove that ones alter ego need not be evil. In a very unintelligent move from myself I have concocted a potion similar to the potion responsible for turning Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde.

I assumed that as I was going into this experiment with the knowledge of the latter my experiment should turn out more favorably. Unfortunately this is not the case. I am not saying I have turned into a hideous disfigured villain as Mr. Hyde had been, but into something all the more disturbing. I have become a reality television star. At night I am taken by the overwhelming desire to stab others in the back and to spread misinformation to the youth of America.

This is a great frustration to me as I am a noble, esteemed attorney by day and a foul-mouthed, gin swilling frat boy by night. If you happen upon my dark side's show – The Unreal World – please turn away as it is too disturbing and disgusting a situation to watch.

Pray for me in the hopes I may someday be freed from this world of depravity and brought back to the honest, caring and charitable world of the law.

With deepest love and sorrow,

Yours,

Mr. Gabriel John Utterson, Esq.

Dear Mr. Utterson,
Thank you old chum for the heads-up about the telly show.
But, about the "Real World" in the 21st century:
The Law
Honest...not
Caring...not
Charitable...Certainly not.
Anyway, I assume you've heard of my newest potion disaster... I've returned as ...he whose name should not be uttered... (Voltemort).
Well, if we run into eachother, we can have a "killer" night out on the town.
Yours in all things Depraved,
Love,
Dr. Henry Jekyll
