I was so excited, we had moved to a new house. I opened the door expecting to see a closet where I could store all my handbags and shoes. I was in for a nasty surprise.
The closet was full of old clothes, baskets,mop and a grandfather clock.
I called out to Mom.”Who the hell put this here?”
“I see nothing. its empty”she said eyeing me suspiciously.
“Am I hallucinating?”- I thought to myself and I shut the closet, my mind was misty. This house is spooky.
Unknown to me, Mom and Dad were having a hearty laugh downstairs.

Mum and Dad sound fun. I feel the teenage narrator will have the last laugh, though. Your story was easy to read, understand and enjoy. 😃

Sorry I haven’t been commenting thoroughly for a while (3 weeks feels like 3 years). Just so much going on here, but at least today, this second, my best friend received a plan for their cancer treatment.
