Description
Who knew how long she'd been there, the woman living in our bedroom closet. She was so small and quiet it seemed a crime to throw her out in the streets, especially in the middle of winter. My wife would have seen matters another way and called the police after telling me that I'd lost my mind, which is why I didn't tell her about the lady in the closet and planned on keeping it that way. There she was one day while I was picking out a suit before work, her pale, delicately boned face peering out of the coats and jackets. I expected an apology, at the very least a "Well, I'll be going now," but she stayed quiet, as if it were her god-given right to be there. As if I, in fact, were the trespassing party.
