A picture scrawled in blood pushes paramedic Noah McKeen into a game of hide and seek with someone attempting to honor Jack the Ripper. Tormented and controlled by little white pills and visions of the woman he had intended to start a family with now in the company of another man, Noah fights to control his sordid selfish behavior and stop a brutal reenactment of history’s most notorious serial killer.
Benjamin Thomas is the writer behind Jack Be Quick, a dark thriller weaving together the lives of a troubled paramedic and an individual wanting nothing more than to recreate the infamous Ripper murders. His short work has appeared in The Lascaux Review, Flash Fiction Online, Winter Tales: A Fox Spirit Anthology, and elsewhere. In his spare time, Ben reviews books for Shoreline of Infinity, the hugo-nominated speculative fiction e-zine. He lives in New England where he unequally balances time between hiking and quoting seemingly random movies. He can be reached at bthomas7.weebly.com or @jigsawkid7
