Jack Knife
An investigation in New Orleans involving Voodoo and Hoodoo and monstrous occurrences that he previously couldn’t have even imagined possible culminated in what could have been the ultimate the Schizomega effect. After experiencing the loss of his friend, Mr. “E”, as well as the death of his dog, Scout, Ian was once again slipping into a deep depression – one that found him self-medicating in the form of heavy drinking.
In his very intoxicated state, Ian staggered around the streets of New Orleans until he stumbled one too many times off of a curb and out into the street just as an Olde English 800 beer delivery semi-truck was winding a corner. As the driver spotted Ian and slammed on his brakes, he oversteered attempting to no avail to avoid hitting Ian. Struck by the jack-knifing semi, Ian is immediately knocked unconscious, sustaining traumatic head injuries.
Ian was transported by ambulance to a nearby New Orleans hospital, where he lay helpless in a coma, fighting for his very life. Within the theatre of his deeply fractured mind, Ian believed he awakened from his dream-state transported not only in distance but back in time to what he believes to be his new present-time merry ole’ England, London, circa 1888.
Believing he’d been a victim of an accident, that he’d been struck by a speeding carriage, Ian soon found himself very confused by his surroundings as he discovered that he was suffering from amnesia. But soon, he finds some comfort that he was in the care of and in association with what he was reassured was his lifelong friend, Doctor Watson. Absent any logical evidence to the contrary, Ian comes to believe that this is in fact his reality. As such, Watson convinces him to get cracking-on with what they do privately investigate crimes that have Scotland Yard and the London Municipal Police forces baffled.
Their present the search for a serial killer of ladies of the evening. He is known in street vernacular as none other than Jack the Ripper .
