Description
Premise:
If only it were as simple as black and white. Perhaps over time one would eventually consume the other. At least I could live as one and only one, with a clear mind and focus on life. But alas, it's not that simple. The emotional constructs of my own mind manifest themselves into outward physical changes. The Dr. Jekyll to my Mr. Hyde, and I'm caught somewhere in the middle. While some are able to hide their emotions, suppress their true natures to the world, mine are visible for all to see. I am but a mere vessel to their whims, with no where to go, no where to hide.
Leila:
A gentleman? Perhaps somewhere under all of that power, greed, and lust. Deep down I can sense his fear, the distress of failure always looming over his causes and dictating his actions. "Come now, for there's so much more to life than indulging yourself with the riches of success. Let me show you what love and compassion can grant you. You see, when you place others before yourself, you bring light into an otherwise cold and dark part of their world. Imagine a place where everyone reaches out a hand to help another and there's no room for fear. Love can certainly get you there."
Leiland:
Her eyes are like none I have ever seen before, full of innocence and tenderness. Signs of weakness in my book; they could easily walk all over her like a doormat and not think twice about it. "Unfortunately the world doesn't operate like that. Come my dear, don't be shy; let me show you what power can grant you. You see, when you've climbed the ladder to the top, the only one to challenge you is yourself. Imagine being able to live without a care in the world, a luxurious home, money, and all the sway a man of my status can muster. Power can certainly get you there."
