This is a story I wrote for a school writing contest. It follows the main character James as he dies, ends up in an apocalyptic afterlife, meets the band and joins my version on The Black Parade. ->I'd like to give credit for the ideas for some of the characters and the theatrical elements to... -The wonderful band My Chemical Romance (The name, the theatrical elements, the main idea, and song lyrics) -The fantastic band Panic! At The Disco (The demon from 'Emperor's New Clothes' the music video) -The amazing band Fall Out Boy (The phoenix inspired from the song 'Phoenix') **************************************************************************************************** I also want to give a special thanks to our armed forces that keep our homes safe. The active service men and women, the veterans, and the fallen. Thank you for your service!
