The Closet- Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I love broom closets. You never know who or what could be inside them. Whenever I pass a closet, I always have to go inside. I look around at the cleaning supplies, or whatever else is in there. I’ve seen everything, from lobsters to tutus hidden in broom closets. Up until yesterday, I had never found a body.

Okay, don’t panic. I’m not talking about a corpse; I’m talking about a living, breathing person. Maybe you were a little freaked out when you thought that I had found a real corpse. Well, I was freaked out when I found him. He was lying on the dark floor of the closet. His eyes were partly closed, and the first thing that I noticed about him was that he was really cute. Slowly, he widened one dark green eye. Then, the other eye flew open. He stared at me in shock. “What the heck are you doing here?” he asked.

“What are you doing here?” I quickly responded in bewilderment. What was this guy doing, lying on the floor of a closet?

“I live here,” he answered, still puzzled about what I was doing in the closet. I still had no idea who he was. Suddenly, I realized who he was! While I had been exploring all of the closets in the house, I had forgotten where I was and why I was here. Now, with horror slowly dawning on my face, I remembered that I was in the White House!
