There was a Cabaret

Chapter 12: Emcee

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Nobody knew too much about him. Even how he came to work for the club was shrouded in mystery. One night, Max had come in, told Frenchie and Sally that the club now had an emcee, and that was that. All during his time at the club, nobody could get a straight story on him. There were lots of rumors though.

"He's a homosexual."

"He has a wife."

“He lives at the club, but goes out during the day.”

“He owns an apartment, but he's never there.”

"He's in love with Max."

"He's in love with Sally."

“He's slept with every Kit Kat Kind.”

“He's a virgin and it's all an act.”

Even his exit was very strange and sudden. Nobody knew what happened to him. All they knew was that a few days after the fruit shop had its window broken, he disappeared.

Towards the end of his life, he like to tell stories. Whenever he could, he'd gather whoever was close by and start talking. His stories always began the same way.

“There was a Cabaret and there was a master of ceremonies and there was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany and it was a brand new life for me. I couldn't wait to see what it brought.”

Notes:

Thank you so much for reading/commenting/liking. If you enjoy long stories, I'd recommend, "Loving Sir." If you enjoy things based off of musical theatre, I'd recommend, "Rocky Block Tango."
