The Curtain Finally Fell

A Vignette by Brad Corallo
word count 177

A collective gasp of wonder and amazement.
"Did you ever see anything like that?"

"No, she is outstanding,
What a performance!"

"I thought she was so beautiful!
I wonder what she is really like as a person."

"Oh, I have no doubt she had to be playing herself."
"Well, she is an actress,
That's her job, it's what she does!"

"But it seemed so real!"

"I know, it is almost scary!" 

She sat alone
Removing stage makeup in the dingy dressing room
Two burned out bulbs shadowed her mirror.
She opened a drawer
And grabbed a pint of Bourbon
Uncapping it she slugged directly from the bottle.
The anxiety and the rage
Temporarily watered down. 
She did not whish to return home.
She hated him almost as much as she hated herself.
For the thousandth time 
she wondered why she 
Didn't just end it all,
Maybe tonight.
She exited the theater
waving 
while her star struck admirers 
stood reverently,
beaming their worship
into the empty 
rain grey night.
