Beyond the Abyss
One of the three new stories currently held up at various stages of the publication process: this one is probably ready to go.
Unlike my Harry Potter attempt, this one just materialised out of my subconscious in the old way when I had a long walk to do one day, and is in consequence rather better in quality! I came back with the leather of my shoe-soles worn through (a prospective hundred-pound bill -- eek) but with this story in the bag, which seems a reasonable exchange...
Continuity: Phantom of the Opera musical, with a touch of Leroux.
Summary:
"Don't throw your life away for my sake": Raoul will take any cost upon himself to save Christine from the Opera Ghost, even if all he can do is buy her a little time... Rated T for horror/angst.
