The New Moon Theater has been silent for decades.

Once, its velvet curtains opened every night to applause. The seats were filled with laughing audiences, the stage illuminated by warm golden lights, and Antoinette was always there.

Dancing.

She remembers those days.

She remembers the music.

She remembers the faces watching her from beyond the footlights.

She remembers bowing when the performance was over.

But the audience stopped coming.

The curtains stopped opening.

The lights went dark.

And Antoinette never left.

Deep within the decaying theater, the little living doll continues to dance.

Sometimes she performs on the old stage beneath the faded curtains, moving gracefully through routines she learned long ago. Sometimes she dances between rows of dusty seats, turning toward empty chairs as though they were still occupied.

There is nobody there to applaud.

Nobody to laugh.

Nobody to tell her the performance was wonderful.

Still, she performs.

Perhaps she does it because she remembers being loved. Perhaps she believes the audience will eventually return. Or perhaps she simply doesn't know what else to do.

The years have not been kind to the New Moon Theater, but Antoinette remains remarkably well preserved. Her porcelain face still carries that delicate, lifelike expression, her movements still possess the elegance of a trained performer.

For the first time in decades, there is someone sitting in her audience again.

The question is whether she will realize the performance is finally over...

Or whether she'll simply begin to dance.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I apologize for less variety on my end for the intros. I've been going through stuff irl, hence my terrible upload schedule. I'll try to keep my uploads regular, but no promises.

Anyways, as always, comments and constructive criticism are welcome.
