}}'''''Mrs Zirma''''' was a standalone Jenny Everywhere comic story created by [[David LoTempio]]. It is believed to have been the third of the original Barbelith [[Jenny Everywhere]] stories to be released. 
==Contents==
===Plot===
[[Jenny Everywhere#With Nigel|Jenny Everywhere]] is sent by [[Nigel]] to confront an old lady living in a trailer park. “[[Mrs Zirma]]” is not what she appears; she is not just a doddering old grandmother with a penchant for storytelling, but a living, breathing [[alternate history]] who tries to seep into the mind of whoever listens to her tales and replace their world with hers. Forewarned, Jenny is able to use a mental resistance technique to kick Zirma out of her head and force her to reveal her true, eldritch appearance. She then uses a [[Laudomite]] hand-grenade to kill the creature.
===Worldbuilding===
====Jenny====
* This story focuses on [[Universe (Mrs Zirma)|one universe]]'s native [[Jenny Everywhere#With Nigel|Jenny Everywhere]], who has the "default look" — vaguely Asian with black hair, a ready smile, a scarf and goggles.
*  Jenny refers to herself as "an [[Everywhere]]" and states that she "became" one, suggesting that in this universe it is some sort of rank or job-title rather than her birth surname. Though unconfirmed, [[Nigel]] appears to be one as well.

====Universes====
* This story takes place all in [[Universe (Mrs Zirma)|one, urban universe]], although [[Nigel]] refers to the false history that Zirma sucks people into as [[Zirma's Storyworld]].
====Other====
* [[Nigel]] notes that [[Mrs Zirma]] killed [[Bruce (Mrs Zirma)|Bruce]], presumably another [[Everywhere]], and laments this fact, as Bruce was apparently "a good kisser".
* Zirma appears in "many reports," including ''[[Invisible Cities]]'' by [[Italo Calvino]]
