A Bohemian Sequel:
Come What May

It has been one year since the published story of the Moulin Rouge. That story written by a man who wrote about truth, beauty, freedom, and that which he believed above all things, love. It was a story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But most of all, it was a heartfelt story about the love between a man named Christian and a women, a courtesan, named Satine. The forbidden love but the love that overcame all obstacles except for the force darker than evil and stronger than love. A consumption took Satine's life leaving Christian alone in a bohemian world.
The Moulin Rouge had been closed down for well over two years and people almost began to forget about the infamous girls and Harold Zidler. All that was left was the giant red windmill that no longer turned but held the memories of the past. People walked by not giving it any notice. But one man looked at it everyday thinking about that dark, fatal night.
Christian.
He spent most of his time in is room overlooking the Moulin Rouge. Painful memories haunt him day after day. He tries not to think about it but he can't escape it. He lived it and he couldn't turn back the hands of time. No one knows for sure because he doesn't talk to many people except for his bohemian friends. He's a shy loner, just typing away at his typewriter. He hasn't published anything since Moulin Rouge and no one expect him to publish again.
But his book, his story, his life, will change the life of one special girl.
Paradise*
(Diana's Theme Song)
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in.
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been,
Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
When covers tucked in tight.
Funny how the bottom drops
How she forgets to fight...to fight.
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise.
As darkness quickly steals the light
That shined within her eyes
She slowly swallows all her fear
And soothes her mind with lies.
Well all she wants and all she needs
Are reasons to survive.
A day in which the sun will take
Her artificial light...her light.
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise.
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright....alright.
Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out.
Don't pretend to hold it in just push it out.
Don't you try to hold itin just let it out and
Don't you try to hold it in you hold it in
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise.
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in.
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been.
