The sounds of the tide rolling in filled the air, as well as the sound of seagulls. The skies were grey and dull on this winter day. The empty boardwalk on Cony Island was covered in frost, as well as the rides nearby. Everything looked almost ghostly in this area… a broken down Ferris Wheel, an empty steeplechase track and a skeleton looking roller coaster. Torn and tattered posters covered the wooden wall that ran along the boardwalk… posters of great performances that once delighted people in this area…

A lonely woman with a ragged coat entered the area and began walking slowly down the boardwalk. Her red hair is turned slightly grey from the years gone by. She looks older then she really is… as if she was ill used by time. When she reaches the posters she paused her walking and looks them over. She began reading one out loud

"Phantasma, City of Wonders… Mr. F. presents marvels, astonishments…human prodigies…"

She looked another one over and laughed slightly,

"The Ooh La La Girl, five performances daily… Isabella Daaé, the soprano of the century. Gone… all gone."

As she trails off, another woman's voice addresses her,

"Yes…there's nothing left. Nothing but ghosts… but I knew you'd come back, Linda!"

Linda turned around to see the source of the voice. Another woman walked over towards her. This woman had a very pale face, sunken in eyes and had a bizarre manner about her. Almost like she was mad…

Linda gasped and pointed at her, "You… you're still here, Vanessa?"

Vanessa chuckled, "Of course we're still here. The freaks, the monstrous, the bizarre… where else could we exist but here?" her voice grew louder and angrier now, "And after the tragedy… after the master disappeared with the child… after the fire that consumed everything!"

Linda looked around, "His dream. Our dream…"

Vanessa walked up behind her, "Remember how it was? Remember…" and then with a soft voice, Vanessa began to sing,

'Coney Isle… glistening and glimmering!
Rising bright, drenched with light…'

As she sang, ghostly fireworks appeared overhead. As if everything was back to normal before the disaster…

"See it smile, beckoning and shimmering!
All agleam…Like a dream!'

Linda joined in softly as well,

'Every fantasy set free!
Sodom rising by the sea!'

The ghostly lights vanished as Linda took a deep breath and sang,

'Coney Isle! Miracle on miracle!
Speed and sound, all around.
Mile by mile, loud and lewd and lyrical.
Thrill on thrill, never still…
All America was there!
Beggar next to billionaire!'

Linda looked around at the posters again and sang out stronger,

'In they came, chasing sensation and romance…
Eyes a flame, desperate for pleasures yet unknown.
Night and day, pouring in by the hundreds of thousands!
Swept away, as their every desire was made real!'

The sound of the sea filled the air. Both women looked around and recalled how glorious this place was back in the day. Vanessa started breathing heavily and turned on Linda,

"That's the place that you ruined, you fool!"

Linda looked shocked, "Wh… what do you mean?"

Vanessa pointed to the disheveled place, "That's the world you destroyed with your greed!"

Linda shook her head quickly, "It wasn't my fault! I couldn't have known!"

Vanessa glared at her, "Don't you remember what happened back then, when we… even we dared to walk among men?" her tone turned into a hushed whisper as she looked around, "When even a Phantom could dream his dark dreams once again…"

Back in time…

~ Cony Island, circa 1907 ~

Cony Island was now filled with many people, who were either away on holiday or lived right near by. They all started forming around the new area, calling out to each other…

'Hurry up!'

'You won't believe it!'

'Take a look what's over here!'

'Who imagined just how big the place would be?'

They looked around the newly built area and all sang out,

'The man called Mr. F put it up in just a year.

It's a little slice of Heaven by the sea!'

They looked around in amazement at all the different buildings and rides,

'Look, there's restaurants!'

'A midway!'

'A gigantic concert hall!'

'The biggest funhouse ever seen!'

'A volcano that erupts each day at three!'

'Wonders brought from 'round the world!'

'The season's just begun, but Mr. F has got it all!'

'Crystal fountains!'

'Grand pavilions!'

'Hell, it must of cost him millions!'

'It's a little slice of Heaven by the sea!'

The crowd soon grows larger and all began to sing,

'The sights! The sounds! The lights! The smells!
The wonder wheels! The carousels!
The gardens and arcades, the marble colonnades!
The rides! The shows! The games of chance!
The rush! The whirl! The sheer romance!'

They all began gossiping about the freaky stuff that was possibly inside the covered area,

'And the rumors…'

'What about 'em?'

'Things so odd you daren't doubt 'em…'

'Freaks and monsters…'

'Aberrations…'

'Weird mechanical creations…'

'And the Genius who designed it wears a mask!'

Everyone gasped,

'A mask? A mask?
But what's behind it?
What's behind it? What's behind it?
What's behind it? What's behind it?'

The crowd began moving around and spreading out to the different areas. Different ones began pointing out more amazing buildings and rides,

'Fancy ballrooms!'

'Vaulted spaces!'

'Shoot-the-chutes and steeplechases!'

'A casino!'

'A museum!'

'Look! A Roman coliseum!'

Some spotted out a beautiful stage with a curtain covering whatever was behind it,

'And a concert hall that's bigger than the Met!'

'What's inside it? What's inside it?
What's inside it? What's inside it?'

What is behind that curtain? xDDD Guess we'll find out in the next chapter...

Thanks for reading. Review?
