    Great story, Sharazad. You should try writing a novel using this idea, as far as I’m aware, it hasn’t been tried before.
    It’s strange that since the Whitechapel murders there have been many serial killings, more gorier and with more victims, but Jack is still the Daddy!

    Dear Mrs Sharazad,

    Thank you to have nursed me. Of course I know this is not the story “of an old woman”, it’s yours. And of course you know he is not dead, he just… passed away in another body… As I do already for more than 400 years now…

    Still,

    Yours Truly,
    the One & Only
