Some say that she was raised by wolves
And never learned to care
All I know is when I looked
Jessica wasn’t there.
Some say that she’s part-daemon
And she has the devil’s flair
I’ve heard she’s deadly beautiful
But Jessica’s never there
Some say she hates the sunlight
And her skin is vampire-fair
I thought I saw her shadow once
But Jessica wasn’t there
Some say that she’s an outright lie
A ruse beyond compare
So many truths are possible
Yet Jessica’s not there
Some say that she’s bedecked in scars
Her eyes like your nightmares
And if you see them, you’ll be doomed
But Jessica won’t be there
Some say her stories cast a spell
To trap you unawares
But if you’re caught, you’re left for dead
Cos Jessica won’t be there
So try and find her if you will
Go seek her if you dare
I’m certain when the screams begin
Jessica won’t be there…
Jessica week starts on the 24th October, and ALL SOME OF THE MYSTERY WILL MIGHT BE REVEALED
Ask around on Twitter – #WhoisJessica, to follow the trail, or click Jessica’s picture to go to the blog where it’s ALL TAKING PLACE.
OHMIGOSH…I can’t believe I’m part of this…
Reblogged this on Being the Memoirs of Helena Hann-Basquiat, Dilettante and commented:
I couldn’t not have this as part of my blog. Jessica begins in less than 12 hours, and I’m on pins and needles to hear people’s reactions.

See, now I reckon you might be the only person who reads this who’ll know how hard it was to resist the line “All I know is she’s the Stig…”
Thanks though. I’m verrrry excited about this 🙂

Jessica is a character who lurks in Helena Hann-Basquiat’s basement and writes a lot of horror. Her origin stories have recently (this week) begun to be published online as a result of a collaborative effort by a group of writers (I am one) and on November 1st, there will be an Actual, In Fact BOOK and e-Book of these stories, PLUS extra…and it’s all very exciting.
I’m glad you like the poem though 🙂 Thank you.

Thank you ma’am 🙂 I do rather love poet-ing, though I confess, the non-amazing stuff (it exists) I try not to publish 😉
This one was special though, for Jessica week 🙂 Glad you have space and time to yourself 🙂 Enjoy it.
