<THE SAME PERSON>
In 1888, from 31st August to 8th November, there was a person who threw the London citizens in a state of terror. His name was Jack the Ripper. He had already committed two disgusted murder. Swanson inspector assumed that the Jack the Ripper was a knowledgeable person in dissection. Jack the Ripper murdered five prostitutes and he dissected all the bodies. Police weren’t able to arrest him and the Jack the Ripper suddenly disappeared after the fifth murder.
It was very dark inside even though it was early afternoon. Holmes had a newspaper in his hand and was reading the same article over and over again. The second corpse was found and a letter was send to the press. The second victim was Annie Chapman. She was also a prostitute. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Holmes didn’t answer but the door opened. It was Watson. The moment he went into the room, he frowned because of the smell that was all around the room. Holmes said “What brings you here?” not even looking at Watson. Watson sat down on the sofa and said “Mrs. Hudson called me.” Holmes silently passed a letter that was in his hand with the newspaper. “Jammy Estiorra? Who is this?” Watson read out the strange name on the letter and looked at Holmes. Holmes finally stood up from the sofa and picked up his violin. “Professor James Moriarty.” Holmes replied while holding the violin. Watson couldn’t understand what Holmes was saying but he just started to read the letter.
-Dear. Sherlock Holmes
It’s been a while since we met. I guess you’re missing me as well.
I prepared a present for you. I have raised him since he was 10 years old.
He has grown beautifully and strong. I wasn’t expecting him to do this well.
Will you be able to stop him?
He listens to me. He will never disobey me.
Holmes, two filthy prostitutes are going to be found soon.
He won’t stop, and prostitutes will be found dead until they all disappear.
There is nothing you can do, Holmes.
I’ll tell you one thing. His name is Jack the Ripper.
Let’s see what you can do, Holmes.
Watson looked at Holmes after reading the letter. He looked shocked because of the name that was mentioned in the letter. Then he carefully watched the name again. ‘Jammy Estiorra’ was just a mixture of ‘James Moriarty’. Holmes placed the violin where it was before. “Seems like you’ve notice. Yes, the letter is from Professor James Moriarty. That name is just a silly joke. It’s time for us to leave. We should head to the ‘White Chapel’.”
By the time the letter that Professor Moriarty sent, was arrived to Holmes, another letter was arrived at the London press. The letter started with ‘Dear. Boss’. He indicated his hatred towards the prostitutes and confidently said that polices will never be able to arrest him. He predicted the murder that is going to happen and at the last, he named himself as ‘Jack the Ripper’.
Swanson inspector was still wandering around the scene of incident. He couldn’t stop thinking that the culprit might be belonging to the upper class. The two bodies that were found were dissected as if it was used in the dissection class. They weren’t able to find any clue about the culprit. All they found out was that the two victims were both prostitutes. There was another person who was wandering around the scene. It was Holmes. After listening to Swanson inspector about all the personal information of the two victims, Holmes sat down on the ground and didn’t move. Watson sat down beside Holmes. Holmes was staring at the scene. A few minutes later, he suddenly stood up. Watson was trying to follow him, but Holmes stopped him. “Stay here, and see if anyone is coming close to the scene. I won’t be long.” Holmes whispered to Watson and walked away. Watson sighed and stared at the scene just like Holmes.
Prosecutors were all around the White Chapel. They waited all night but Jack the Ripper didn’t show up. Early morning, they all pulled out and returned. Expecting that Jack the Ripper showing up the next day. However, few hours later, bodies were found at White Chapel. Swanson inspector ran into the scene of incident. He could see that it was done by Jack the Ripper as the bodies were dissected.
Hey Chloe,
ReplyDeleteThis was REALLY good, i really liked how you merged Sherlock Holmes and a historical event together. It was a very creative idea, very original. I do think however your past and present tense sometimes get mixed up (but i do understand that English may not be your first language so that is OK), and your word choice is sometimes confusing. The concept is great but the execution is sometime flawed. But I do LOVE this though!!!
I hope that that was helpful I am not a professional or anything just trying to help :)
