Erik has reincarnated (kind of)

Well, I am in some serious hell as of late.
My mom forced me to tell her my deepest secret...that i am gay and have a girlfriend...and played the biggest guilt trip on me. that was a month ago friday.
now i cannot speak to my love or see her or anything.
its a Phantom's worst nightmare...knowing she is yours but you cannot do anything about it...its worse than Raoul's taking Christines....much worse.
My parents made me see a counselor to try to change me...
but the counselor says that this is God's way...and my parents need to accept that.

I am living in crazy times.

I like to think of it in these terms.

Erik died and recieved a second chance from an unknown force. When he realized that he was alive and felt that his face was flawless, he nearly rejoiced...aside from the fact that he was missing very important parts...and the sultana had nothing to do with it...he also aquired parts he was quite attractive to...adding to the confusion.

Erik found his Christine in a flash, but found that she could not love him...it was against nature and all custom...but then again, hasn't it always been against "nature" and "custom" to love poor Erik?

Well, true love is eternal and Christine fell in love with Erik...in his new body. She lost all romantic feelings for her Raoul (yes, there really is a Raoul) and things seemed to turn out better than they had...until they were found out and the beast was seperated from the beauty.

So here Erik sits...trapped in a cage...sending notes using his magic...but still unable to find a way to escape...in his new body, he has forgotten some of his useful tricks.

Bit of a stretch? maybe.
