    About this ebook

    Skip McMurray's life has been on a downward spiral for several months. To escape from the stress he spends his time at an abandoned theater on the edge of town, dreaming about the day when he will have enough money to purchase the property and restore it to its glory days. One day while working on some items in the projection room, he hears someone else walking around. Could it be the owner, or is it someone more sinister? There is only one way out and that means he'll have to zip right past his unexpected guest.

It was Skip’s favorite place in the world because it was his place to get away from his troubles. It was a nice contrast to the chaos that had become his life.

      The Regal was only two blocks from the town line but it was like a whole other world. The original owners had bought up the surrounding thirty acres of woods, thick second-cut swampy plains forest, with plans to develop it into a Victorian style park with The Regal with its centerpiece. They built The Regal first as a way to finance the development of the park, but history and bad management choices conspired against them. The Stock Market Crash of 1929 caused their customer base to dry up and the ensuing Great Depression drove them out of business. They held onto the land, logging
