Today I had 5 people coming into the 'hair salon'
We were short on meat so I agreed to kill more.

But can we just talk about last night!!!
I slept with Nellie ever since I've arrived I've wanted to do that.
It was amazing but I know if the police found out they would burn us alive.

I received a letter from my father today it read.
"Hello my dear,I expect you are doing well and eating and sleeping in appropriate accommodation!".
He didn't even say I love you!

The first customer arrived,I sat her down in the seat.
I tried making small talk like I usually do,she was so rude so I don't feel bad for what I'm about to do,today Nellie wanted to be in the room with me whilst I did it.
The knife grazed her neck.
"Ouch!".
I laughed and said "oh I'm so sorry!".
Then I twisted the scissors around like I was holding a knife and I penetrated her neck,she was bleeding out.
Nellie stood there in shock like she didn't know I had it in me.
The woman looked at Nellie and pleaded for help.
Nellie laughed and came up to me and wrapped her arms around me.
We stood and watched her perish.

I then dropped her body down into the basement where we deboned her and started to slice her up.
I kissed Nellie on the lips and said "soon my dear we will be on top of the world!".
She smiled back and wiped the splash of blood that was on my cheek.

We then heard a ring on the bell and went back upstairs,it was a little girl she was about 8 she looked messy and dirty.
She asked for a pie because she haven't ate in 3 days.
I was a cold blooded killer but I always loved children.
I went and got her one of our 'meat' pies.
She scoffed it so I got her another one.
I asked her "where are your parents?".

She said "they were sent to the workhouse but me and my brother managed to escape".
Nellie asked "where is your brother?".
She looked down and said "he was trampled by one of the horses,he was only 5!".

I looked at Nellie and said "I'm sure she could stay here?".
Nellie looked delighted "yeah of course!".

The girl looked confused "why do two women live together?".
I wanted to say "business parters by day and lovers by night!".
But I said "oh me and Mrs Lovett,we've known each other since we were children!".

She smiled "thank you for letting me stay I promise I won't be a burden".
