Am I Cybill?

It became very obvious to me that the police were going to do whatever they had to to arrest me for my Mom's murder, my guilt or innocence was irrelevant...and because of my father's status in our community, and the fact that it was a small town, where things like this just didn't happen...the case was very high-profile, and was making news statewide. The police were under pressure to make an arrest, and anything plausible in the way of finding a suspect would do. And I guess I was it. After the police couldn't break down any of my eleven alibi witnesses, they came up with a new theory. Since I had only one alibi witness from about 4:30AM on, and that was a fellow drug dealer that had stayed at the club with me, there was a time period where we both claimed to be asleep at the club, and the police saw that as an opportunity...and it was then that they presented me with their latest hypothesis...and it was...that I would go to sleep at, say, 4:00AM as Michael, but would I would wake up a little later as "Harry", and that "Harry" would go out and kill people, then come back and fall asleep as if nothing had occurred...and in the morning, I would wake up as Michael again, and Michael wouldn't remember anything about "Harry", and therefore wouldn't even be aware of a murder taking place. At first I actually thought they were joking, but when I found out that they were deadly serious about this,  I had to deal with the idea that now, they thought I was a multiple personality psychotic killer. And if their theory was correct, I wouldn't even know it if I was...or if I had done something like that to my own mother. And for the very first time...I was really scared. I was scared that I'd be framed for something I didn't do...but an even greater fear surfaced in my mind...as I wondered...could that be possible?
