In the heart of the city the nestled between towering skyscrapers and bustling streets or stood an old and abandoned cinema. It is once grand marquee now hung in the faded disrepair or letters missing leaving behind it only the whisper of its former glory. Every evening as the sun is dipped below the horizon the cinema is seemed to come in alive with a mysterious allure drawing in those who are dared to venture inside.

Evelyn was one a such soul a photographer with a keen of eye for the forgotten and the forlorn. She had been heard whispers about the cinema about how it was a haunted by the memories of the films long past. On a particularly foggy evening she decided to an explore it for herself hoping to capture the essence of its decay through her a lens.

As she is stepped inside the air grew thick with the scent of the mildew and dust. The grand lobby once filled with a laughter and chatter was now a silent witness to time relentless march. Evelyn footsteps echoed as she moved deeper into the shadows her camera clicking too softly.

The main auditorium was a cavernous space rows upon the rows of seats facing a tattered screen. She is imagined the audiences of the yesteryears their faces a lit by the flickering light of the projector. The silence was almost is palpable pressing in on her from all sides.

Suddenly a faint sound broke in the stillness a whisper or a perhaps the rustle of the fabric. Evelyn turned her breath of catching in her throat. There in the middle of the aisle stood a figure is draped in a vintage coat and hat as if the plucked straight from a noir film. The figure the face was obscured by shadows and but the posture was unmistakably human.

Who is there?Evelyn called out her voice are trembling slightly. The figure did not respond merely is stood there a silent is sentinel in the abandoned theater. Mustering in her courage Evelyn raised in her camera 📸 and took a picture. The flash is illuminated by the figure for a brief moment before the plunging the room back into the darkness.

When her eyes is read justed the figure was a gone as if it was had never been there. Evelyn in heart raced as she reviewed the photograph. There are captured in black and white

was the unmistakable in silhouette of the mysterious figure is standing eerily still in the ghostly light of the flash.

With a shiver Evelyn decided it was the time to leave. As she turned to go and she felt a strange sense of the melancholy as if the cinema is itself was reluctant to let her go. She exited into the night the fog of curling around her like an embrace.

Later when she was developed the photograph she noticed something strange. The figure face obscured by the shadows in reality was clear in the picture a face she was recognized from an old film to poster she had seen in the cinema of lobby. It was the face of a long forgotten actor rumored to have a disappeared under the mysterious circumstances.

Evelyn never returned to the old cinema but she often the thought of that night. Her photograph was an a haunting memento of her encounter hung in her studio and testament to the eerie allure of the forgotten places and the stories they will hold. And every time she is looked at it and she wondered about the figure in the photograph and forever frozen in black and white a ghost of the silver screen.
