          I had done it. I had told Satine her fate. She was now in her dressing room preparing to go break her heart. I wondered why this had to happen.

 

          Another hero, another mindless crime

          Behind the curtain of the pantomime

          On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?

 

That's what we were. Pantomime players. We were who ever they wanted us to be. We had no personality left. I saw my own thoughts reflected in the eyes of the women around me while they sewed costumes and worked on backgrounds.  I had seen many love affairs and seen many heart breaks. But none like this.  Satine and Christian really loved each other. A pure love. But all love comes to an end.

 

          Whatever happens, we leave it all to chance,

          Another heartache, another failed romance,

          On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?

 

I walked past them and threw open the stage door. The sun was rising and slowly lighting up the stage illuminating the busy stage hands and people going about working on back drops.

 

          Outside the dawn is breaking on the stage that holds our final destiny

          The show must go on!

 

She had to do it. She had to save him. She had to save us all. But by God I wish she didn’t.
