-{My Queen of Hearts}-{The Joker}-1-

-{Crazier Than A Dartboard}-

Laughter rang throughout the room. Not Happy laughter, insane maniacal laughter. Laughter that could only be made by somebody truly screwed up in the head. That person was me. I sat in Arkham asylum, in my own little room laughing like the maniac I had become. This all started about a year ago. I used to have a normal life, well as normal as a rock star could have. My name was Jayden Haytes. I was 20 years old and living the good life.

-1st January 2007-

It was new years and I was performing in Gotham City Arena for the big occasion. I stood up on the stage with my band, Straight Flush. We were at the height of our fame, and everybody knew us. I was the lead singer and rhythm guitarist, my best friend since kindergarten Charles-Bobby McGee was on lead guitar and back up vocals, his girlfriend and my long-time friend Katie O'Brian was on drums and finally her twin brother and also my long-time friend Michael O'Brian was on bass and back up vocals. We all wore clothes for a suit in cards. Mine was hearts, Bobby's was Spades, Michael was clubs and Katie was diamonds. We just finished performing our first hit single, "Creature of the Night" which we had written about Batman and was about to start our latest song "My Queen of Hearts" when our concert got literally gate crashed. By a familiar dark figure of Batman. The bat mobile crashed through the gates of the arena and into the crowd.

Luckily everyone was close enough to the stage to not get hit. Gun shots could be heard outside and soon the batman got out of his vehicle and started shooting back with his bat gadgets. I looked back to the band and smirked. "Change of plan guys you ready for Crazy as a Dartboard?!" I called out into the microphone to the crowd who were all scared. However when they heard me yell they started cheering as if the batman incident was a part of the concert. "1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4!" I yelled out and the music started. I sang the lyrics fluently and perfectly to the music and the audience was hypnotised and forgot all about the gun battle going on behind them.

"And you always are,

And always were,

Crazier than a dartboard.

Your mood swings change,

Black and red,

Green and silver." I sung into the microphone for the chorus and the crowd sung along.

"I could never understand,

When you took my hand,

In the blink of an eye,

You'll be saying goodbye," I wrote the song about my mother, she was bipolar and had committed suicide a few years back. I proceeded into the bridge as the crowd sang softly along with me.

"If you leave me now,

I wouldn't know what to do,

I'm lost and alone as your cold as a stone,

Then the fire in your eyes resurrects you!" There was a break in the music and then we pounded hard into the final chorus. The whole time I played I watched the battle between batman and his enemies rage on. Just as we finished an armoured car drove into the arena and up to the stage.

We played on trying to ignore it as I sung the last lines, "Your mood swings change," I sung as a man got out of the armoured car and walked up onto the stage towards me. "Black and Red," I sung as he got ever closer. He wore a purple trench coat and clown make up giving him a sickening smile all the time. His hair was badly dyed green and looked extremely greasy. "Green and Silver," He stopped directly in front of me and stared into my eyes with a crazy smirk on his face. "You always were," I sung out as the band all stopped playing. "Crazier than a dartboard," I whispered into the microphone staring at the man who captivated me with that strange insane look in his eyes.
