THE BOYFRIEND
My boyfriend, Joe, and I wanted to get
because everyone that we know has seen this musical. We were surprised to get tickets to see Wicked but had to sit on the upper balcony of the theater. While we were there, a woman had a heart attack. The ambulance came and two paramedics took her away. As the show carried on, we watched in horror as another theatergoer tried to get this woman’s heart pumping again. It was obvious that she was dead as she was blue in the face. As we were in the balcony, the performers had no idea that anything was going on and the paramedics soon took away the woman. It seemed as if she had gone to the theater with another elderly woman. My boyfriend and I offered to take the woman home. The strangest thing was that this woman who we ended up driving home was Mrs. Murphy, my second grade teacher. She was pretty shook up about her friend but didn’t seem to realize that she was dead. Neither Joe nor I wanted to say anything so we just chatted on our way back from the play. It turned out that Mrs. Murphy lived right down the street from me!
