Twice In A Lifetime

by Marie S Zachary

When Sweeny Todd is given a second chance he has to go back and convience his younger self to make some changes to avoid the path that led him to where he was at. Benjamin Barker instantly believes his older self but it proves harder then it appears to avoid the circumstances. To make matters worse he and Lucy are soulmates so if he fails her soul is also doomed.

2. Failure Is Not An Option

Sweeny stared into the nothingness for several long moments before he spoke.

"Had I been aware of the consequences I would have not done the things I did that led to the circumstances," he said finally.

"Of course you wouldn't have. You are not a fool... or you were not a fool when you were Benjamin Barker but that doesn't make every decision you made right."

"Believe me," Sweeny replied, "I am aware of that. Hindsight is 20/20."

"It's a little more complicated," the voice said, "You and Lucy are soul mates. If you fail her soul will end up in hell."
