Pamela as a kid, had always dreamt of having her own secret little world in the back of her closet, when she was 9 she even painted a door. Now she was almost 20 and came home from college for Christmas break, her sister didn't greet her, they had become distant for a reason unknown to Pamela. She went into her room and unpacked her things when she went to hang up her dresses in the closet she wondered if the door was still there, and it was. She sat by the door and just to humour herself, she knocked on the door. To her utter shock the door swung open violently. A yellow light shined brightly, stinging her eyes. She looked longer and realized that the new space had encased every memory she had of the closet. She could see every time she had hid and cried there and every time she thought it'd be funny to lock her little sister in there, every time the open closet saw her little picking a fight and always losing "I'm stronger than you" Pamela had said. Every time her mother had comforted her, talked to her for hours on end, yelled at her when she did something dumb. She saw the times when her little sister would walk in and stand there awkwardly and say goodnight, she noticed that her sister would actually try to talk but that she was always interrupted and then that was when she would leave. She also saw a time when she heard her sister say "You're Elsa because you always shut me out" Pamela realized that she needed to quit staring at her closet and talk to her sister for once.
