A Collection of Tragic Deaths

Theatrical Relationships

As the world would have it, relationships started in the workplace, or clubs for that matter, don't seem to ever go all that well. Especially for the boy in our story. The boy walks into the theater room a few minutes before the meeting starts, and he immediately goes to talk with the leading actress, who he has a huge crush on. He has just received the news that he has been selected as the leading actor, and he is happy to discover that the play the club is doing has a scene where the two leads kiss on a balcony. As they rehearsal the scene, he kisses her, and  she playfully pushes him away, as per the script. All seems normal, until the day of the opening performance. As the curtains open, and the play begins, he gets more and more nervous. The captain of the club comes over and helps him calm down. As he prepares for his entrance for the balcony scene, he looks for her, but sees nothing, as she enters from the other side. The scene begins. They walk up curved stairs on either side of the balcony, reach the top, and embrace. Ke leans in and kisses her. She pushes him away, hard. He frowns, that's not in the script! She pushes him again, over the edge of the balcony. He falls, and hits the ground with a loud crack. The audience gasps, his head is at an odd angle, his legs backwards. The audience just witnessed a murder, and the girl is crying as he throws hers off after him, breaking her legs, but not dying. She will never walk again, and nor will he, but she has to live with the knowledge for the rest of her very short life.
