Disclaimer: I don't own Sweeney Todd
A/N: this is my first Sweeney Todd fanfic (well drabble) so please review, as reviews are love!
My name is Sweeney Todd. I was once Benjamin Barker, but that man was destroyed by Judge Turpin. It my destiny to now kill that man, to avenge the loss of my family, my wife that he as good as murdered through his actions and my beloved Johanna trapped in the corrupt judge's grip.
I will rid this hole of the filth that crawls through it and calls it home. My only true companions are my razors, as I hold them up to the window they glint in the moonlight and fill me with joy. These are my new hands; these are my profession, my weapons. These blades will free me; they will be stained with the blood of those who have done me wrong.
The corrupt aristocracy will have their lives taken with my beauties and their warm blood will flow crimson red through my hands. The loss of their lives will free the world from their filth and will grant me redemption.
I am consumed with this hatred, it is all I can see and feel. Since my life was torn away from me I have lived everyday minute by minute, waiting for the time when justice would be served. My time has finally come, nothing can stop me now. The death of one only feeds my need to kill others; the world must pay for its cruelty, it has caused me nothing but pain and heartache and now it must in turn feel what I feel.
I have become this monster, I can't escape its grip, and yet I don't want to. This plague that has overwhelmed me gives me strength to carry on without the love and affection of my one true love. I will never stop, this world needs cleansed and only I can give it freedom from the dirt the aristocracy has ingrained so deeply into its psyche.
