I curse the day I born. When my mother saw me, she screamed in horror! I don't blame her. My nose was sunken in and there was blood and felsh on the half of my face. My parents and I were so poor. One day my mother was dying. Luckily I caught a fish for her to eat so she felt better. One day my mother gave me a mask to wear. I felt sorror for all those things as a child. When I grew up my family was rich! I left for my own house. I went to circus to circus. I grew up and been a builder. When I was an adult I was supposed to built the underground are for the new opera house. When I was in each circus, I learned some magical things and secrets. I built a torture chamber and I built my own organ. I made 2 rooms and a kithcen. This was all mine-my house. When there was opera shows, I'd dress in normal clothes and put a mask with a fake nose. Everyone seemed to hate me. One day I heard a couple say, "That man cannot be a man, he has no name and he doesnt look normal", said the woman. "He must be an Opera Ghost-THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA", said the man. I laughed. For a moment I was the Opera Ghost-the Phantom of the Opera! I got out a paper and red ink looking like blood and wrote:
Dear Managers,
I ghost who loves music haunts
your oper house! I dare you to
give me Box 5 each night.
They obeyed all right! But what else could I get? I got my red pen again. This time I asked for money. They put it in an envelope and put it in Box 5. Now I was living! Again they obeyed! On 1 night Carlotta sang a big part. A young girl named Christine sang a small part. Her voice was beautiful, but sad. When she got to her dressing room, I hid behind the wall. I sang to her. I looked at a little hole and saw her smile. "What is that beautiful voice?" she said. Opposite of my ugly face, I had a voice of an angel. "With you!" I said, "I heard you sing. Your voice is beautiful, but your heart is sad!" I threw my voice around the room. "Yes its true", said Christine, "When I was 8, my mother died. Father took me to circus to circus. He played the violin and taught me to sing. A man heard us and we sang in all the circuses. Then my father became ill". A big fat tear came from Christine's sweet face. "I am very sorry", I said. "Before Father died, he told me of the angel of music. The angel comes and visits all great musicians. He said he'd send me the Angel Of Music...Oh voice! Are you the angel of music!" asked Christine. I thought for a minute. "Voice", she asked. "Yes I am the Angel O f Music!" I said. Christine wept for joy. Each night I taught her to sing. One day new managers came. I wrote a note to Carlotta not to sing. SHE DID NOT OBEY! Not even the managers! I WOULD TEACH THEM! I made the chalender to fall. I took Christine. "Who are you?" she asked. "Do not be afraid!" I said. Christine reconized my voice and got furious. She knew I lied. Christine fell in love with Raoul. Then one day Christine took Raul and tolled him that she wanted him to take her away from me. Was I such a monster?
I cried as I played the organ. My music made my feelings. One day Christine saw that I made the chalender fall again and she fainted. I took her to my house. When she woke up she asked, "Why wont you leave me alo-"
But I cut her off. "It's time Christine. Should I play the Wedding March or the Funeral March?" I asked. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Here, is it the scorpion or the grasshopper?" I asked, "The grasshopper is poisonous and its pregnat. I will put her babies in every bed if you wont marry me! If you say yes, press the scorpion!" I said. Christine was crying. "Yes", she said softly. Yes, she told the truth. Why? Beacause she wanted Rauol to live. I kissed her forehead. She kissed my head. I knew she really loved me. For who, she tried to kiss my lips when I stopped her. I gave her a golden ring. "I do", she said. I nodded. My heart was spilling with love and blood. "This is my wedding gift for you and Rauol", I said. Christine was leaving to tell Rauol when I said, "Marry him. And do me a favor".
"Anything", Christine said. "When I die, I will say a few words to you far or near. I am dying of love for you Christine. Bury me in secret and I will be your Angel of Music. When I die give me the ring". Months passed, Christine had 4 kids and married Rauol. On December 24, I died. Now, Christine has me...her Angel of
