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.

3. One Month To Fix This

Sweeny felt like he was going to be sick. His wife's soul depended on him. What if he were to fail? He remembered how adamant he had been back in the younger days. If someone came to him claiming to be the future him back in his younger years he would have either shrugged it off or said, "then if you're me you will understand why I am acting the way that I'm acting. You will remember the insidious attitude and while I will stand for a lot I will not stand for insidiousness."

Benjamin had been under a lot of pressure and he had not been feeling well. He had no idea that his foolishness would cost him the life of the person he loved.

"I don't know that I would have believed me if I were me."

"You will have help," the voice promised him, "You have 31 days to rectify the occurrence."

"THAT'S ONLY A MONTH," Sweeny exclaimed, "How am I supposed to fix this in a month?"

"You will have help," the voice repeated, "But ultimately it is up to you."
