    Oooh I really enjoyed this short play! It's a ghost story - but sweet. A ghost-hunting couple discuss ghosts they've seen, what makes some people wander forever after they die, and what they hope for each other after death. I love the natural dialogue, and I love the conclusions these characters reach.

    A different kind of ghost story. Not spooky, but poignant and lovely. A great read!

    Full disclosure: I've been to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park many times and done all the tours about the hauntings and heard the stories, so this moment in the lives of Sofia and Devan is especially real. We all hope to find a connection with another soul, be they alive or spectral, and the telling of this tale shows how we allow, even invite, our imagination become our hopes, our fears, and wonderment at what is and isn't real.

    A famed hotel
    Filled only with the ghosts
    We brought with us.
    Places aren't haunted;
    People are.
    We are haunted by the absense
    Of those who should be here.
    We are haunted by the loneliness that comes
    Knowing our days are numbered.
    Keyes unlocks these feelings as
    A 'Shining' example of
    The ghost shaped holes we leave in each other,
    And the truly frightening concept of
    Unfinished business.
    The ghosts we chase remind us:
    Says what we mean NOW.
    Tell the ones we love that we love them.
    Live life fearlessly,
    Or the Stanley Hotel may await you too.
