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.

You thought it would be an adventure. A once-in-a-lifetime journey with history’s most famous explorer.

In this slow, immersive, darkly funny historical sleep story, you’ll trudge across deserts, puke in marketplaces, hallucinate in tents, and witness the grandeur of Kublai Khan’s court — all from the most underpaid and over-traveled position imaginable.

Perfect for winding down, passing out, or existentially questioning your travel choices.
