Phantom of the Auditorium (1994)
“His shoes hit the stage floor with a thud.
He let go of the rope and it flew away from him.
The blue-and-green face glanced quickly around the stage. Tina and her scenery crew stood frozen against the wall, staring at him in horrified silence. Ms. Walker appeared stunned. She had her arms tightly crossed over her chest.
The Phantom’s cape swirled around him as he stomped one shoe on the stage.
He’s short, I realized, standing and staring from down in the second row of seats. He’s about Zeke’s h...eight. Maybe an inch or two taller.
Or maybe he’s exactly Zeke’s height — because he is Zeke!
“Zeke! Hey — Zeke!” I called.
The ugly masked face peered out to the auditorium. The Phantom started to sink. His feet disappeared. The legs of his dark pants. Down. Down.
He had stepped on the peg and was riding the trapdoor down.
“Zeke!” I yelled. I ran up the aisle and pulled myself up onto the stage. “Zeke — you’re not funny!” I shouted.
But the Phantom had vanished below the stage.MoreLess
