I have decided to begin writing down my experiences on paper. I figure that this will keep me sane while I write my part on the Opera Ghost! Does that sound odd? Allow me to explain:

I am a journalist for La Gazette de Paris named Manon Valois, which was only established the year before, and I am one of the boss's favorites. The Opera Ghost is... a mystery that I am attempting to solve. He, I believe it to be a he, is only a shadow that I long to get a clear view of. So far, I know next to nothing about this so called 'Ghost', but I do know about the mayhem he causes at the Palais Garnier, and his apparent dislike for any leading lady. Signora Guidicelli seems to be a special hate of his.

These entries will be short, at best, but I will try to write daily, or just whenever I can.

~ M. Valois
