An angry lover who turned a place of dance and light into a place of death. A much-missed husband in the wrong place at the wrong time. Who will be waiting for Ann at the top of the stairs?

"A hall, a hall, give room!-And foot it, girls.- More light, you knaves! And turn the tables up, And quench the fire. The room is grown too hot.- Ah, sirrah, this unlooked-for sport comes well.- Nay, sit, nay, sit, good cousin Capulet, For you and I are past our dancing days." -William Shakespeare, "Romeo & Juliet"

An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels, including Book 1: THE SENSE OF DEATH.
