About Jerrymanders

Jerrymanders is a digital interactive website that delves into the troubled life of Jerry Warren, a young man grappling with the weight of a difficult past. The story unfolds in two parts, each offering a unique perspective on Jerry's journey.

The first part of Jerrymanders focuses on Jerry's formative years, marked by an abusive childhood that leaves lasting scars. We witness the challenges he faces as he tries to navigate a world that seems stacked against him. Despite the hardships, Jerry's resilience shines through as he seeks solace and strength in unexpected places.

The second part of the story, titled Jazzman, follows Jerry's life after a stint in the army, where he develops post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As Jazzman, Jerry's struggles intensify as he battles the demons of his past and present. The narrative explores the complexities of trauma and its impact on the human psyche, offering a raw and unflinching look at the challenges faced by those who have experienced significant adversity.
