The Last Temptation, Book III
Act III: Cleansed By Fire is the final of "The Last Temptation". It's Halloween night and Steven is leaving school wearing The Showman's make up aka Alice Cooper. Steven goes to the library to find any history of his town to learn if they ever had an old Theater. As Steven searches through the Microfilm Reader he notices a pattern on Halloween night up to 1900 a child is missing.
It usually is every five years but Steven notices there are some cases of it being less than five years. Then Steven finds a story dated as far back as October 31, 1884 The Spaulding Memorial Theatre was burned to the ground and they found human skeleton bones to be less then fully grown. Steven goes to the Theater which appears again and it's marquee reads "Grand Finale! Starring Steven, Who Is Just A Little Boy!" Zombies are all outside the Theater waiting to go in. Steven enters the Theater knowing The Showman's plan of collecting children so he can continue on with his Theater. Steven gives a suggestion his life for the freedom of Mercy but The Showman reveals Mercy isn't real. Steven doesn't believe The Showman and starts to reveal to him that if the Theater isn't real you don't need real flames to burn it down again. Steven thinks of a "ghost-flame" as the Theater starts to be engulfed in flames. The Showman yells out that he would have to start all over again to assemble those children as the Theater goes up in flames.
As Steven and Mercy are outside Mercy reveals The Showman was telling the truth of her being made up as she fades away. Steven heads back home with The Showman appearing in the mirror saying he's just a reflection away.

Excellent story and I'm sad that "The Last Temptation" album didn't get the recognition it deserves. This would of made a great animated story or even a musical on stage. But I would of preferred an animated movie.
