BUTCHER!ALFIE

She takes another wrong turn and ends at the lowest level of the manor. The repetitive sound of metal clinking against something attracts her to a half-open door. “Mrs. Shelby.” She is startled by a rumbling voice coming from the dimly lit kitchen. “Couldn’t wait to meet your dinner?” She feels a chill run down her spine at the odd choice of words. The man behind the countertop is wearing a red-stained apron. He continues swinging his meat cleaver against the cutting board, sorting cuts and discarding innards with ease. “W…who are you?” She asks, shaking. “I’m Mr. Solomons. The new butcher.” He keeps slicing meat like she isn't standing there shell-shocked from previous frights in a bloody dress that used to be white. “What happened to the last?” A stupid question, really. The flesh looks too strange and sinewy to be from any animal she knows. What further horrors could that house have in store for her? A wicked smirk lights up Mr. Solomon’s face slowly. “Oh, Mrs. Shelby. You really shouldn't have wandered tonight.”
