Plot

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 one universe's native 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.
