Lady Gaga blasted in the background as I gave my entrance on opening night, shuffling down the stairs and shrugging out of my coat. I heard female voices screaming, squealing my name as they once had during my mortal life, and I swelled with pride. My friends joined me as we all danced in sync, Ghoulmaster following us with his chain.
The filled-to-capacity auditorium laughed as they heard the story of Chester's demise, and shuddered when they heard only the basics of how Ghoulmaster came to be the way he is today. I had no idea that we all could dance so well after only a couple weeks of rehearsals. I knew that Raven would be beating down the door to renew his contract when he heard of this strange new relationship we had with our beloved amusement park.
"This is Halloween," my master lip synced as he played out a scene with a screen in the background. Yes, this is Halloween. The one time of the year when the mortal and the immortal can both pretend to be someone they're not. "Is it scary for you, babe?" Yes, this season may be scary to the mortals, but also to the undead who wander, purposeless. Thank you, humans, for giving us that purpose for one month out of the year. "Too bad, too bad," for the baggage that we all carry with us, but I am now certain that people can change.
An idiotic grin pasted itself to my face as we took our final bow, amid screaming applause. We couldn't even wait a few minutes to start communicating with each other.
They loved us! We'll definitely be able to come back next year!
Maybe we should make a DVD!
Should we do something additional for our final show?
Why not? If even death had not stopped each of us, then this was only the beginning.
*We'll see you in your dreams*
