I've spent the evening hunting, as I'm wont to do and choosing for tonight an older lass, I hold the shop door open while she passes through and as it closes, watch her in the glass Her face is plain, no trace of paint unlines her skin, her matted hair is gathered in a bun Beneath the shabby dress, her frame...

Whitechapel, London 1888
Wanton women of Whitechapel Desperate and destitute Weakened from want Shrunken stomachs barren of bread Dying from disease in dingy dosshouses Selling themselves on the streets for shillings to buy beer, a bed for the night or a bonny new bonnet to enable them to appear more enticing to men with money to spend A woeful and wretched existence worn down by the world envisioning escape Evil born...

Premium Member Jack Speaks
Although intoxicated within ethereal madness; bound within the chains of this soulless prison. I'm desperately in love with this Gothic sadness; whilst staring into a fog of disheartened reason. Walking and stalking through dark rancid streets; stopping for pints, now the pain's finally receding. Through smoke and crowds; reverent and discreet. A bottle to the abyss, now heartless and bleeding. Watch the frightened...

Whitechapel You Must Watch For Me
Whitechapel, you must watch for me. Your streets unlit, they are dark and dreary. Those ladies of night go passing by. I’ve chosen my victim, the one to die. I Lurk, I follow, I know this place. I watch this woman, I see her face. I View this wench as she plies her trade. I cannot wait to show my blade. The blood...

Jack the Ripper
I Jumped up suddenly out of my bed With Jack the ripper spinning in my head And the word cabinet kept floating in my bed I had a very serious message to deliver But I don't know who to tell because it felt improper My heart was pounding and I felt like vomiting I hurried outside and jogged around the circle I...

Tacita Pruval Learns the True Identity of Jack the Ripper
Tacita leaned in close and lowered her voice a tad. “So tell me, Jack. What’s your real name?" "You don’t really want to know who I am. You just think you do. Aye, the public loves its monsters – as long as we keep our distance. Nessie and me, we know the score. It’s not us...

Jack the Ripper
Aaron Kosminski, you were not Jack the Ripper as many would have thought. You have not kept a dissecting knife under your coat as Raskolnikov had kept the ax. You were not addicted to opium. You liked the verse, The Hound of Heaven and that’s Finis Coronat Opus - the violence did not seized your...

Ripper
Shadow-clad, softly he treads, a harbinger of death, and he's out hunting. Stilettos in a leather belt, his weapons keen and gleaming in the gaslight; skulking in concealment there he waits. Patience; his bloodlust can't be hurried. He hears footsteps on the cobblestones, a harlot leaves her trick and heads for home. Silently he sneaks...

Jack the Ripper
The man in the alley is insane. Syphilis eats at his brain. All dressed in black, he is ready to attack. He stalks in the dark of night, trying to stay out of sight. A certain type he wants to find. Whores,filthy whores screams in his mind ! A door opens at a nearby Inn. Laughter for a moment and silence again. The click-clack of...
