I loved the old theatre setting and the whodunnit feel to this short story about a leading lady with a nasty streak who is murdered in the middle of a performance. There are multiple people who would love to see the diva actress dead, including Grace, an usher and aspiring actress who wants to find out the culprit's identity for her own reasons. 
 
This 25-page short story is about revenge, ambition and a warning to be nice to people ... just in case.
