  • Imaginaries

    It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality. Virginia Woolf The “I” Word. I have a tiny closet. It’s one of those old fashioned, “1930’s modest home” kind of closets. I put shelves in it for storage, which left me with nowhere to hang my clothes. I ended up buying one of…
