Thank you, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields, for opening such a great contest @ Friday Fictioneers for this photo prompt.
The Last Show
On a long summer day, I had gone to a long-forgotten alley, in a much-remembered building. Phoenix Theatre.
It wasn’t a place where people went just to entertain themselves. No, it was much more.
It was a monument. A reverend, venerable monument. A legacy of past. Immortal, like its name suggests. And magical.
Inside the hall, curtains were drawn. Lights were off. The movie started… And all the scenes came alive.
I just gasped with shock, a pleasant shock. Until, one movie character came and dragged me inside the screen. Like it did, to every watcher.

Den of Dreams 
Though perhaps the story into which each viewer was dragged was different and individual

Oh, what a premise, this has the making of a great longer story. Creepy, too.

I love the 100 word challenge because I find it a great way to explore ideas, experiment, and also practise cutting everything that isn’t essential.

Do they ever get to come back out of the screen? This is a chilling prospect!

When imagination takes over, it is the dream of ever movie audience, sheer escapism. But we still want to go home afterwards.
