The lights dimmed, and the crowd grew silent in
anticipation. My heart was thudding in my chest as a spotlight pierced through
the darkness and focused on something in the distance. I squinted my eyes
trying to see.
Someone not far from me gasped just as I was able to make
out what I was seeing. In the middle of the stage lay a man, face down, in what
looked to be a pool of blood.
A woman across the room screamed, followed by several more,
and shouts to call nine-one-one. This was not supposed to be a murder mystery.
Oh my, I wonder where they are. Great Flash :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, hijacked their performance with something so terrible. Very nice use of the drabble form, Sherri!
