a quiet fairytale Why so quiet he asked most sincerely, I don’t want to rattle the skeletons in the closet said she, the noise of rattling bones stirs up dust bunnies and the mites of secrets lost in debris at the bottom of old trunks and older tapestry bags~ You can tell me anything he declared earnestly, old mites and dust bunnies have never scared me, and though my own secrets are most mundane they’ll hold hands with your skeletons and muffle those bones so we can live life forever quietly, comfortably.
