~King of the Kingdom~
His memories seeped in from all corners of the barber shop, like the end rays of dust mites spinning down from the ceiling.
You couldn't see them, but they were there, every night at dusk when the window let the sun in onto that once yellow wallpaper.
"I am alive," Sweeney said, rubbing his fingers over the coarse walls.
He was alive, and in that desolate landscape, he was King.

Because EminentlyPractical begged me, I'm extending this fic up to chapter 13. I think Tim Burton would somehow approve. P.S. The last three will be requests, randomly selected =D
EminentlyPractical: She doesn't die here!!! I think it's time to give Sweeney a dose of his own medicine....
Sakura Katana: This chapter is for you and Eminently, because if I kill of Mrs Lovett anymore you're going to come through the computer and strangle me, I can tell =p
F8WUZL8: Poor Lovett indeed! (Thankfully she got a break here)
AngelofDarkness1605: I hope you aren't too mentally exhausted right now, because here's another chap! WOOT! At least your test is over, yay!! Btw, "she heard no more" just is my way of saying she couldn't hear any more sounds/noises, but she could still see her surroundings as she faded into death. It's an interesting theory, when you die, which senses go first? O_O Yeah, you know the fic! It's the one you helped me to come up with the title. It's going up on Friday, so I need to figure out the title soon!
Nellie Lovett Gracey: Alex I agree with your thoughts on Alice. I actually *gasp: Off with her head!* didn't like the Hatter as much as I wanted to, but I Loved Stayne/Iracebeth. I so desperately wanted them to be a pair that I could not BELIEVE the ending (although I should have seen it coming, Knave, anyone?)
linalove: Lina, I happened to write this all in one day, so I might have been in a bad/depressed mood when I wrote it? Remember, you get to request the rest!
the-sadisticalovett-nutcase: Well, funny what you mentioned in your last review. There's a hint there for my newest Long story, which I'm posting up on Friday, but shhhhhh ;)
