Jack be Doubt

A Story by Abishai100

Could a mystery figure in 21st-Century ('Scarecrow') somehow be the unknown Jack the Ripper, reincarnated for an Earthling transit field goal?

Jack the Ripper story (fictional). Happy Halloween!

Jack the Ripper was simply unknown or invisible. There'd been much talk in the streets of London at night in this age; and there were records for gossip and conjectures concerning his ID for bloody-murder and masked or veiled darkness. However, Jack remained a simply shadow-man, a mystery-man, a dark-man of incomplete-distances readings of the transit-securities of Earthling/city jam (for the Ego!).

Of course, it'd been some time since Jack be alive, and today, the town he haunted, old London, was simply teeming with Selfie-age exchanges and traffic and consumerism and lights for the holiday-season and occasions nicely marshaled by the new century detectors of Earthling happiness (sure). Jack was long-gone as it seemed. However, a new face emerged in the new millennium who called himself Scarecrow. Eerily enough, it seemed that this masked mystery-man was (somehow) a reincarnation of Jack himself (Selfie-like).

SCARECROW: Perchance me be a real reincarnated man, reader!

READER: You sound eerily ominous with your weird English-cop stalker imagery.

SCARECROW: Thanx...you know there'd be much tales of women in threat, ok.

READER: You make mark of London's policemen for social media chat, eh?

SCARECROW: Selfie-like.

Was this 'Scarecrow' figure of 21st-Century London (somehow) the reincarnated Jack the Ripper of old-London? Who knows? Well, many social media readers/chatters had theories of their own, but the eerie imprint and languages whispered by this unknown-ID 'Scarecrow' somehow invoked some illusions of what made Jack the Ripper a stranger character for the stews of hospitality-readings...of paranoia and jewelry.
