Blood on the Moon page 1 by ric gustafson
Ranger Mark Rickson waited for the tourists to quiet down. When quiet came, he started.
" Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen". He smiled. " Welcome to Ford's Theater".
A woman looked around. " This is a beautiful theater".
" Thank you, it is a special place". He smiled again. " I want to tell you what happened here the night of April 14 1865".
Someone pointed. " Is that the box?".
" Yes, that was the special box reserved for the President".
A male pointed up. " It looks like curtains are in the opening now".
" Yes". Ranger Rickson pointed. " And now two American flags are draped over the balustrade".
A woman pointed. " What is between the flags?".
" It's a large engraving of George Washington".
A young boy piped in. " What's behind the curtains?".
" The red rocking chair that President Lincoln sat in".
The boy smiled. " I bet that chair is old".
" Actually the original rocker is on display at the Henry Ford Museum".
