My biggest performance yet

Having setup everything, I noticed it was already time as the city started to get darker.

I probably had around 2 min before the ghost of the innocent showed up. Looking around, many had gathered at the center of the city. They had no idea that I was about to sing here, but it is natural to come here when something like the dead comes back to the land of the living. Nobody really knew where the ghost would show up.

The crowd was the biggest yet. The PA system I had installed may not have been all around the city, but it's range could reach at least a mile away in all directions. With so little time left, I pressed play on the computer and I began to sing, instantly grabbing the attention of everyone around.

🎶♪🎵Young blood thinks there's always tomorrow

I miss your touch on nights when I'm hollow

I know you crossed a bridge that I can't follow

Since the love that you left is all that I get, I want you to know that

If I can't be close to you, I'll settle for the ghost of you

I miss you more than life (more than life)

And if you can't be next to me, your memory is ecstasy

I miss you more than life, I miss you more than life🎶♪🎵

The sky had slowly become pitch black while the moon was a bright orange. The whole city had a tint of orange overlayed on it. A thick bright white fog blanketed the ground. The ghost hadn't shown up yet, but the atmosphere and already begun to change. I continued to sing.

🎶♪🎵Young blood thinks there's always tomorrow

I need more time, but time can't be borrowed

I'd leave it all behind if I could follow

Since the love that you left is all that I get, I want you to know that

If I can't be close to you, I'll settle for the ghost of you

I miss you more than life (yeah)

And if you can't be next to me, your memory is ecstasy (whoa)

I miss you more than life, I miss you more than life

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-yeah-yeah

More than life, oh

So if I can't get close to you, I'll settle for the ghost of you

I miss you more than life

And if you can't be next to me, your memory is ecstasy

I miss you more than life, I miss you more than life🎶♪🎵

As I was singing the last verse of the chorus and song that was originally by Justin Bieber, the ghost finally started to appear. At first it was one or two ghost that seemed to fly from the orange harvest moon, but not long after many and many more glided down to our city.

The ghost's were all glowing in the dark a neon orange and had a bit of an after image as they moved around. You could see their features and yet see right through them at the same time.

Most of the ghost and the people crowding the area seemed surprised for different reasons. The ghost were surprised to be back on earth, while the people were surprised ghost really came.

The people had all seen the magic of the moons up till now, but minor healing and beauty are both different than bringing back the dead. It had seemed too good to be true for many.

Ghost appeared all over the city, most in their old homes, many also filling the streets. Quite a few were ghost of children, but a few here and there were older ghost.

At one point I saw the two kids the cop killed when I first arrived in this city. I was happy to see them get a new day they wouldn't normally have had.

Many of the ghost that had nobody alive within the city had chosen to talk amongst the living and chat about current events and other things. For a lot of these ghost, it had been decades since they had last set foot on this earth and so much had changed. Many were curious about how things worked and would point too different types of technology and express their awe.

As the ghost kept flooding in and looking for their loved ones, I looked around some more as I prepared for my next song and cleared my throat. The system even amazes me at times. This whole city which was dull and crime ridden not long ago, is now magical, but sadly still full of crime, but at least they have hope now.

I could see many people including some ghost gathered around the stage awaiting the next song. A mother, father, and their ghost toddler had set up a picnic blanket near the stage and were full of smiles.

A man and his ghost wife held hands and talked while looking up at the stage.

People had set up food stalls and moonlight city merchandise shops nearby in preparation for the first harvest moon. I wasn't the only one that saw this event as an opportunity.

Not everybody was happy though, many had hoped their loved ones would come back, but they hadn't. The realization had them weeping and some were even angry.

One of the effects of the harvest moon was that they city and myself will appear more attractive. I had noticed more eyes on me than ever before as I had sang. I wanted to see how far I could push my allure and so before my next song, I chose to drink the minor charm potion that I had purchased long ago and then quickly bought a few voice cord upgrades.

Right after drinking that I changed the stage lighting to set a mood. I then pressed play on the computer and started to sing my next song in a deeper voice than I usually sing.

🎶♪🎵Under a lover's sky

Gonna be with you

And no one's gonna be around

If you think that you won't fall

Well just wait until

'Til the sun goes down

Underneath the starlight, starlight

There's a magical feeling so right

It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight, no

You can't fight it

It's gonna get to your heart🎶♪🎵

The effect of the potion and the harvest moon showed itself as the crowd grew larger and larger. Both ghost and people were drawn to me. Many could not take their eyes off of me as I continued to sing can't fight the moonlight in the style of Hales Corner.

🎶♪🎵There's no escaping love

Once the gentle breeze

Weaves its spell upon your heart

No matter what you think

It won't be too long (not too long)

'Til you're in my arms

Underneath the starlight, starlight

We'll be lost in the rhythm, so right

Feel it steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist

Try to hide from my kiss

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight, no

You can't fight it

No matter what you do

The night is gonna get to you

(Never know)

(Cannot know)

Don't try, you're never gonna win, oh🎶♪🎵

Some of the ghost that had no loved ones to meet them when they arrived, got up on the stage and started to backup dance as they glided around me and the lights from the stage went through them, staining their forms with different colors. The fog had only grown thicker and was being swept around me as the ghost's danced their weird but oddly satisfying dance. I acted like it was part of the show and finished up the song.

🎶♪🎵You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

No, you can't fight it

You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss

But you know, don't you know that you can't

Can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark, you'll surrender your heart

But you know, but you know that you

Can't fight the moonlight

No, you can't fight it

It's gonna get to your heart🎶♪🎵

When the song ended, the silence was deafening, only to be followed up by a thunderous applause. Many women were calling out to me and some had even thrown their under garments on the stage. One ghost that had just been backup dancing even kissed my cheek before exiting the stage with the others.

The night was young, but many of these ghost and people were going to want quite a bit of quiet time to themselves. I thanked the crowd for their applause and moved on to my next and final song.
