Anti-Hate Pills: Science Fiction

[penthius]

The personality altering drugs were kicking in, and he hated it. Of course, he hated everything--which was why he was on these damn drugs. He hated himself enough to decide they were worth while, at least for a while, at least long enough for him to make the documentary of the two sides of him, altered by drugs and unaltered. Kind of a Jekyll and Hyde sort of thing, though he supposed it was a Dr. Hyde and Mr. Jekyll instead of the other way around. Not that he was that bad, despite what his ex-wife said. He'd never hit her or anything like that, he just didn't much like her some days--not that that made her special. He didn't expect, however, the way that the drugs made him want to go out into the world and document *it* instead of himself.

Story Potential: Medium?
Notes: I dunno. This kinda fits in with the whole how people react to close quarters, need to work with the *world* community to survive, figuring out how "tribe" works in the brain sort of ideas, but it doesn't gel.
