Step into the gaslit, fog-choked streets of 1888 Whitechapel — where survival isn’t safety, and being a woman means navigating judgment, poverty, violence, and fear on every corner.

In this immersive, second-person sleep story, you are not a detective, not the killer, and not the headline — you're just one of the countless women trying to stay alive while the city looks the other way. From brutal labor conditions to terrifying nights under flickering gaslamps, this slow-burning historical journey explores what it meant to endure as a working-class woman during the era of Jack the Ripper — when death came quietly, and survival was rarely rewarded.

Perfect for those who enjoy dark history, calm narration, and bedtime stories that whisper hard truths.
