I'm Jasper Jones, and some may say my life is extraordinary. Truth is, my life, or the mask it hid behind, was one big conspiracy. We got by how we could, for my family was cursed. And not one of those crazy old folk tale curses; we were, for some reason, designated with the single most important task in the world. My mother had the horrible task of defeating a demon, one that's become pretty popular in America lately. Her name is Depression, and she is a wicked one. She entertains herself by taking the form of a young woman, usually a very attractive one, and worms her way into people's lives, screwing everything up for them. There was some kind of incident involving my family a while ago, and one of us caught her in the act. Ever since then, that's what we've done; run rampant through America tracking some demon whore who is probably one of the biggest serial killers in history.
