A Star Trap

By Bram Stoker

A Star Trap is a short story by Bram Stoker.

An old man narrates the story of a death he witnessed as a teenager working in a theatre: His Senior, Mr. Holiday, was married to a pretty young lady from the theatre, much to the chagrin of the other women working in the company. It was a marriage of comfort, but in the starting they got along well enough.

After a handsome young man, Hanry Mortiner, joins the theatre company, Mrs. Holiday and Mortiner starts up romance like everyone but Mr. Holiday seems to notice. However, during a performance one night, something seems to go wrong as a piece of equipment falls from the stage and hits Mortiner. Although it seems like a simple stage malfunction, the young theatre boy notices something that -- a strange piece of metal that he found on stage immediately following the death of Mortiner that seems to say that Mr. Holiday wasn't as clueless as everyone had thought about the actions of his wife and the handsome young actor.
