"Take and give back affairs and their dispatch, with such a smooth, discreet, and stable bearing As I perceive she does. There's something in 't That is deceivable. But here the lady comes." Sebastian said. He paced slowly across the stage from left to right, his hand gesturing thoughtfully as he spoke. He was currently the only one on stage, and he paused center stage, turning to face the audience as he delivered his final line.

  Before the start of the play, Syd gave me a rundown of what I missed in the first half of the play. Surprisingly I was able to stay awake during this part of the play since it was much more entertaining than the first half.

  Currently Sebastian was ecstatic that Olivia had suggested that they should get married. He was very quick to agree even though he barely knew the stranger.

  Olivia entered the stage from the right side, her movements graceful and deliberate. She was wearing a white dress with a veil and flowers woven into her hair. She walked toward center stage, her dress flowing behind her as she moved. "Blame not this haste of mine. If you mean well, now go with me and with this holy man into the chantry by. There, before him and underneath that consecrated roof, plight me the full assurance of your faith, that my most jealous and too doubtful soul, May live at peace. He shall conceal it whiles you are willing it shall come to note, What time we will our celebration keep according to my birth. What do you say?" Olivia said, extending her hand toward Sebastian as she walked closer, closing the distance between them with measured steps.

  Sebastian stumbled backward, his arms raising in surprise before he suddenly dropped to one knee. He looked up at Olivia, his face filled with adoration, his right hand reaching toward her outstretched fingers. His eyes were locked on hers, completely captivated. "I'll follow this good man and go with you…" Before he could finish his sentence, a stage light fell from the ceiling and landed directly on him. Sebastian remained gazing up at Olivia, utterly unaware, before he was crushed underneath the weight.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  The entire room went completely silent as we processed what just happened. We all waited in suspense wondering if he was going to pop up from the accident. But when the blood started to pour off the stage and Olivia's screams broke the silence, we all understood this was not a part of the play and the actor had actually died.

  Damn, and it was just starting to get good. Hold on, am I getting desensitized to people dying?

  The other actors started to rush from either side of the stage. First to reach the body was Vi, who played Viola. "Ray! Ray get up! Help, we need to get this thing off him!" she screamed, trying to push the stage light off him.

  Ruppert, who played Orsino, and Haluk, who played Sir Toby Belch, moved to push the stage light off Ray. As they struggled to move the light off Ray, I approached the stage. "Hurry, we have to save him!" Vi screamed. She was now being held by Abigail, who played Olivia. No one noticed that I was now standing next to them.

  When they removed the stage light off him, we could see the crushed body in the dented floor. It was clear that he was no longer with us. "Hey everyone, my name is Tom, and I am a temporary detective. Someone please call the police and ambulance." Dylan, who played Malvolio, reached into his pocket, placed his phone to his head, and walked away from the group. I walked over to the edge of the stage. "Everyone please move to the lobby. After the police arrive, they can clear you to leave."

  I really wish this was just a simple accident, but something felt off. I looked over at Vi crying in Abigail's arms. There were no tears coming out of her eyes and her cries sounded as if she was acting.

  I should at least investigate for foul play. Just in case.
