The Closing Ceremony Forgets to End

A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.

The closing ceremony featured speeches from every committee, including the committee responsible for limiting speeches.

Captain Bo thanked the athletes, the officials, the chairs, and the imaginary stadium's excellent acoustics.

The audience applauded, believing this meant they could leave.

Bo introduced the next speaker.

By the seventh farewell, the sun had changed position in the painted backdrop. Professor Duck approached the microphone and said, Thank you. Good night.

Everyone stood up immediately.

Bo admired the duck's remarkable efficiency.

As the stadium emptied, he began discussing next year's improvements. The bear suggested writing them down tomorrow.

For once, Bo agreed.

The final official record listed a successful season, many questionable medals, and a closing ceremony that eventually fulfilled the promise in its name.
