“The Last Act” by Angela Early

Submitted to Contest #201

Angela stood in the arena, standing at her seat long after the other attendees had left. Perhaps to continue their celebrations elsewhere. She was stupefied to say the least.

Surely her message to him didn't start this chaos. She reads it again once more, looking for the hope somewhere in the message. "Maybe I need to leave to see how I feel about things." No, she read it right the first time and the five hundredth time. He was intent on leaving her. How did they get here? She knew that he had been distant lately, going to bed around 4 am, right before she needed t...
