“End of Play” by Chelsea Sutton

“End of Play” by Chelsea Sutton, narrated by Wil

Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time.
This is the part of my introduction where I talk about the story you're about to hear, where I write what I call "the magazine heading" which will help you press pause on the real world and come with me into Story Time. This part is challenging for me; I need to summarize just enough of the plot to entice you, without giving away anything important.
I'm struggling with this part more than usual today, because this story doesn't fit neatly into any single category. It's a ghost story, it's a love story, it's a gorgeous monologue that cries out to be staged in the real life theatre where the titular play is set. It is a beautiful way to wrap up our first season. There is nothing I can say about it now that adds anything to it, so I invite you to take your seat, because the house lights have come down, and we have to begin, if we are going to get to the End of Play.
