It
was the end of a long night at the theatre, the performance was
drawing to a close.
The
audience applauded the actors as they walked off stage towards the
dressing rooms. Once the audience had left, the cleaners began to
pick up the litter and Hoover the floors. In the dressing rooms
the actors were celebrating after a successful production of the
play "An Inspector Calls".
After
the actors had left the cleaners and the ushers all sat in a row
at the back of the theatre.
They
were all talking about the supposed ghosts of the theatre. They
hadn't been seen for years. One of the ushers who had worked at
the theatre for years was there when the ghosts were last sighted.
Suddenly
there was a loud crash from behind the stage curtain. Two of the
ushers went down to have a look but nothing had moved. So they went
back to their seats and brushed the whole thing aside.
Then
the lights went out and the whole theatre was pitch black. Everywhere
was dead silent .. then a massive boom echoed through the building
like big doors being swung back.
Laughter
filled the ears of the employees. One of the ushers stood up only
to be pushed back into his seat by and invisible force.
The
whole row of seats began to shake. Then all of the chairs flipped
down as if someone was sitting on them. Stamping on the ground and
continuous laughter filled the place with noise. The employees got
up and ran for the door.
The
laughter followed them out the theatre as if it was showing them
out. Only one person remained in the theatre. The usher who had
worked there so long.
Then
he faded away and as soon as he had done so, all the seats flipped
back up .. the laughing stopped .. and the whole theatre fell dead
silent.
