... May I...?
I would like to extend my thanks to Corrusader again for clearing up a few stray points. I have read them, and would take them into consideration as I see fit, in accordance to what Corrusader has advised earlier. After all, if I am supposed to take this with a heap of salt, I might as well do it smartly, without running the risk of having a diet that is high in cholesterol (see poll question) and high in salt...
Two final points that I'd like to raise:
1. The short description on Whitechapel and Jack the Ripper was Dodger's take on this historical case; nothing more and nothing less. It is also my attempt in generating interesting and suggestive narratives for this story. The readers could take the comments at face value, and think of infernal being that had been raise from Hell to do someone's dark biddings. Else, they could, like Corrusader, believe that these lines refer to the dangerous backwaters of the human psyche and the places that exist to let them float to the conscient surface.
They have not turned out as well as I'd hope so. At the moment, however, I could only let the readers interpret these lines to whatever end they will, thus allowing the personality of Dodger take hold in the mind of the readers.
2. Corrusader is only partially right when it comes to this being "a story based on another story." The first-ever Oneiromantic story - or "affair", as I call it - takes the readers to a time when the series of murders commited by Jack had passed into obscurity for 10 years. The artist and the readers alike should take whatever they know about the case for granted, since this story only makes references to the people and the places that are associated with Jack. It is not an extension nor another interpretation of the old mystery, since these material abound (for a good graphic novel that concern this topic, the readers are recommanded to Alan Moore's From Hell. A word of caution - this work is definately not for the faint of heart.)
This story takes the old case for granted, and so should the readers. If it is necessary, I will consider putting background informations about this and other future affairs in the website, for those who are interested.
Once again, a sincere thanks for the employment of such a keen eye. These comments and observations would help me immensly in my future endeavours.
