Movie Theatre
by Marie LeClare
I had cabin fever. The Winter had been long and it still wasn’t over with, so I just had to get out of my apartment. I had tried going shopping the day before but couldn’t find anything I liked so that was a loss, and I didn’t feel like going shopping again so I decided to go to the movies. Maybe I could find something to cheer me up.
Stopping first at the snack bar to get my popcorn, I made my way to one of the seats in an empty row, close to the back, where I wouldn’t be bothered by people coming and going. It was really dark and even the little soft side lights appeared not to be on, but they really weren’t needed.
Getting comfy and draping my winter coat over the seat to the left of me towards the aisle, I settled in to be entertained by the movie, when all at once a young girl was headed my way.
I was thinking, oh crap as she went to sit down on my coat when I stopped her and told her I could move my coat if she wanted that seat but thinking, for the life of me I didn’t understand why she wanted that seat out of the dozens of other empty seats.
