What's in the Closet?

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.

George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

Ever seen a skeleton? I remember seeing one when I was 5. A doctor a couple doors down had one. I never knew people could have such amazing things in their houses. It was in his study that you walked past to get out to their backyard. Where I was always challenged to find him a four leaf clover. I never did even hours after looking.

The skeleton was scary but I still had to keep going back to look at it. At first I was spooked. Then I'd run past and take a quick look. Then stand at the doorway looking at it but not so close because it might grab me.

At that moment everything you believe changes. You realize people have interesting out of the ordinary bits whether it's contained within the walls of their home or it's within them.

A bit of scandal here or there, tragedy, determination it's ...our story; our skeleton. The quirky, unusual, tragic and inspiring.

If you're still breathing you don't have much to worry about.
