Friday Fictioneers – 10/11/13 — ‘Curtain Call’

This Week’s photo prompt is from Sandra Crook:
My story is below:

AMPHITHEATER

CURTAIN CALL

Since the earthquake, the amphitheater’s rubble. Few seats intact – and the stage – where ….

Worming my way around boulders, over loose rock, I descend to the stage.

Today, the wind mourns through here, but that night it was deadly still – as was the audience – awaiting the climax of the murder scene.  I was afraid – but I had to do it.

I can feel now the weight of the dagger I used to replace the fake one.  I plunged it deep – just as the world around us came apart.  Falling on top of me, his body took the boulder that would have killed me.

Hurry on over to Rochelle Wiseoff-Fields’ site and get into the act.
