Well, writing was why I got into RPG maker in the first place. But I now turn it around. Instead of turning my story into a game like I did then, I now take the story used in my game, and turn it into a song.
Image this: Music in the background, a story teller telling this story, and the chorus is actual singing. And there are instrumental parts in between...
Everything between () is spoken.
(It is 1995, we are in Marterdam, the Netherlands.)

And if you wonder if Ramona really had to die, then the answer is yes, this is a huge part of the main story. Maybe not a happy end to the song, but then again, it is not a happy story.
I plan on keep writing like this, untill I have a full chapter, and then do the same for the next chapter, untill my story is completed.
Edit:
Here are all lyrics I wrote (11) so far:
Album 1, release date: July 4th, 2026
Bite Me 0: Listen to my story, friends
My name is John Troubadour,

A small city in the Netherlands.

But first make sure there are no kids around,
This story is going to be scary.

Bite Me 2: Guilt
Remco feels guilty and it eats him up inside.
One prick in a clown's mask turned the tide.
Remco and Ramona just started their adult lives.
Now his future stings like a thousand knives.
He drinks beer to forget,
He spends his days in bed.
He lost his twin sister,
Since then he has missed her.
Remco doesn't open the door when friends knock,
For the last days he wears boxers and one sock.
His room is covered in empty bottles of beer,
His lack of hygene becomes painfully clear.
He drinks beer to forget,
He spends his days in bed.
He lost his twin sister,
Since then he has missed her.
Remco's roommate David is not giving up yet,
He plans a surprise party and everything is set.
Samira and Abdul will also come to comfort him,
and help forget the world seems angry and grim.
He drinks beer to forget,
He spends his days in bed.
He lost his twin sister,
Since then he has missed her.
Remco has a laugh for the first time in weeks,
He even gets a little color back on his cheeks.
But like every night the time comes to go home.
Remco and his guilt are once again alone.
He drinks beer to forget,
He spends his days in bed.
He lost his twin sister,
Since then he has missed her.

Bite Me 3: Maaike has a crush
Maaike has a crush on a punk in school.
His mohawk makes him oh so cool.
She touched his denim jacket one day.
It was pure ecstasy she would say
Maaike has no friends at all.
Maaike is always alone.
She is just the type of weird,
That carries a magic stone.
Maaike likes things that scare others,
Like skulls voodoo and magical duels.
She learns about necromancy in an old book,
And performs holy nightly rituals.
Maaike has no friends at all.
Maaike is always alone.
She is just the type of weird,
That carries a magic stone.
She tries to raise Ramona from the dead,
With a ritual on the spot where she died.
Nothing happens and Maaike thinks she has failed,
But the destiny of Marterdam now is tied.
Maaike has no friends at all.
Maaike is always alone.
She is just the type of weird,
That carries a magic stone.
She just wants to impress Remco no matter what,
He can't deny her when she gives him back is twin.
If she can only get this ritual to work,
His heart is easy for her to win.
Maaike has no friends at all.
Maaike is always alone.
She is just the type of weird,
That carries a magic stone.
She's rather cute, though.

Bite me 4: We have a bar and we have beer...
Can I please have your attention,
This building is a squat.
We call this house the mansion,
It is our party spot.
We have a bar and we have beer...
We don't allow s here.
You're welcome at the mansion,
where friends are never far.
Thank you for your attention,
Now I'll show you to our bar.

Bite Me 5: Ding Dong
Sunday morning and Remco is hungover.
Why did he drink so much last night?
Did he ask Martina to marry him?
Did Bruce and David really fight?
Ding dong ding dong,
Officer Buster at the door.
Stay calm and do not panic,
Just ask who he's looking for.
Remco panics nonetheless.
He has no idea what he did last night.
Or was it Bruce who was getting married?
Then who and who got in a fight?
Ding dong ding dong,
Officer Buster at the door.
Stay calm and do not panic,
Just ask who he's looking for.
Remco finally opens the front door.
What can I do for you today officer?
Then he sees the mask in Buster's hand.
The mask that belongs to his sister.
Ding dong ding dong,
Who cares what he's looking for.
Stay calm and do not panic,
Grab the mask and shut the door.

Bite Me 6: Mister Denzel pasted away
Mister Denzel passed away last night.
Yet he's walking through the hospital.
He's grabbing nurses by their aprons,
And tries to bite girls in the hall.
Denzel bites Merryl, Merryl bites Patrique,
Patrique bites Michael, Michael bites Monique.
Monique falls tumbling down the stairs,
Halfway down her head turns all the way around.
She stands right up without a care,
She leaves a puddle of blood on the ground.
Monique bites Debby, Debby bites Ollie.
Ollie bites Dennis, Dennis bites Paulie.
Paulie is the first infected to make it outside.
A yellow school bus hits him straight in his face.
His skin was completely removed from his skull,
Yet he takes the kids on in a foot race.
Paulie bites Carol, Carol bites Penny.
Penny bites Theo, Theo bites Danny.
Danny bites Elmer, Elmer bites Eddy.
Eddy bites Homer, Homer bites Freddy.
Freddy bites Leo, Leo bites Tammy.
Tammy bites Thomas, Thomas bites Emmy.

Bite Me 7: Neighbors eating neighbors
Remco sits with David behind the television.
When suddenly they hear screams from outside.
They both stand up and reach for the window,
Through which they see the horrors of the night.
They see their neighbours, eating their neighbours.
They even see the Janssens chase a teen.
That teen is Martina who lives next door.
She is the prettiest girl Remco has ever seen.
He acts instead of thinking and rushes outside.
He throws rocks at the Janssens and they react.
He runs to the pound in the park.
He dives and hopes the Janssens can not swim.
Who would have known?
Remco is a hero!
No longer will Martina,
See him as a zero!
Remco is soaked and his walkman is completely broken,
But by a miracle he and Martina are alive.
Back home Martina wraps her arms around his neck,
She thanks him with kisses for saving her life.
Who would have known?
Remco is a hero!
No longer will Martina,
See him as a zero!
Martina tells the boys that her parents got aggressive,
They grunted and they tried to bite everyone.
She says she went outside to look for help,
But people act like this all over Marterdam.
