Commemeration

It's bedlam out tonight. The Plastics are in an uproar. From what I can gather, it's some sort of holiday- a celebration of some great accomplishment by one of their former(?) leaders.

On this date, in the old times, a famed cultural leader was reported to have died. As with many of the Old People's icons, this man was a celebrity, a singer in this case. His death was all the more shocking, for he'd recently announced he was planning a "comeback tour."

A month passed, and many of the early Plastics mourned the loss, until they noticed tickets were still being sold for his shows.

The singer exploded back onto the scene, startling the nation, selling out show after show on the tour. he was heralded as a messiah and a genius. Skeptics say he faked his own death to up ticket sales. Believers say he died, but refused to pass on, unwilling to leave the world in darkness without his honey-sweet voice.

He may have been some sort of Voodoo priest, as it seems he was reputed to have some connection with Zombies. Maybe the doors of Hell had already shut, even back then.

In any case, the Plastics own the street tonight. Stay indoors. Stay close to your loved ones. And if you hear their chant- "Thriller, Thriller"- do yourself a favor, and don't investigate.
