You began working as an employee for Mrs. Lovett’s pie shop not too long ago, you had always heard of the pie shop, but with its booming popularity you decided to try and get a job there to help poor Mrs. Lovett out.
You had always wondered why the shop got so popular, it was always rumored to sell the worst pies in London. And when you had asked what was so special about the pies, the question was quickly overlooked and the subject was changed.
That was until you met the man who lived upstairs, Sweeney Todd, who owned a barbershop in the flat upstairs. You were always sent up there every now and then to bring Mister Todd a pie and some ale, Mrs. Lovett kept him fed, of course.
But today, when you went upstairs to bring him his food, you saw a sight you thought you’d never see. Mister Todd, covered in blood, wiping down his bloody blade.
