Happy Birthday Cath and Liz!

I almost forgot!

Today's a special day... Because 120 years ago, in the same day, I made two new friends: Catherine Eddowes and Elizabeth Stride... I don't think they enjoyed our friendship as I did...

So... Happy birthday!

PS. I forgot to congratulate Polly and Annie! Mmmm... Some other short but intense friendships!

Let me please introduce myself...




Believe it or not, my dear reader... I'm a time traveller... Not in a literal way, of course... I don't have a time machine, just like H.G. Wells wrote back in the 19th century... My century... Yes, that's right! I was born in the 19th century, but I can't even remember the day or the year... That was a long time ago... But forget my verbal diarrhoea... It's just that I'm not a talkative person, but when I start I can't stop doing it!

So... I was talking about me... Yes... I don't know why, but I'm still alive after so many years... If I were a religious being, but I'm not, I'd think that God has given me a mission that I haven't accomplished yet... I don't think God agree with anything I do during my "spare time"... Even if I were a follower of Satan I would not know what to think... I haven't seen anything real, when it comes to demonstrate the devil's existence, even if I tried! Every man I've known that assured to have some connections with the Devil or the Other World was a liar... But don't worry... They have achieved a proper ending for trying to cheat me... I still smile when I remember Harry Houdini, unmasking impostors who tried to convince everyone they were mediums... Arthur C.Doyle told me once about their experiment for trying to communicate with Houdini's dead mother and how he discovered (because Houdini was not that silly) that it was all a lie... That's why they lost their friendship... But see? I'm talking again, and talking about nothing! Anyway, what I wanted to say it's that I can only see devil in men's eyes... We all have that epical internal fight of good against evil... Sometimes, however, you found some special beings, whose internal fight finished long time ago, and evil became the winner... You may not believe me when I say this people are happier than the other ones... Because they accept themselves in a way nobody else does...

So, as people says, Devil knows more for being old than for being the devil itself... Then I must be the wisest man on Earth... That's what I like to share some of my...wisdom with you, my secret followers... World's crashing down, animals and plants are slowly but surely disappearing, men even are dying and dying every day... It seems they haven't learnt the lesson, they don't remember that two World Wars... However, they called ME monster! This is really funny... Human being is certainly a strange kind of animal, but surely you know this already...

Well then, I must go... But I'll keep youin touch... But... Yes!... You may not know who I am! My real name doesn't mind at all... In fact, It's difficult for me to remember it, because I've lived undercovered so many time... Hm... I still remember how Scotland Yard tried to catch me and identify me... in vain! They received hundreds of letters, written by me... or at least that's what they thought! Only some of them were written in my own handwriting, but what did they know about me! I vanished just in front of them, and now, they're all pushing daisies... Do you got any clue of my identity? Well... I'm the first modern serial killer of history, and that's a title I haven't chosen by myself... But I like it nevertheless...

So, you better call me Jack... because that's certainly my REAL name... Jack the Ripper...
