Tuesday, with strange fears

aldersprigThe weather has been a bit dismal, so yesterday T. finished pulling stuff out of the left half of the House's eaves. Among the odder finds - porn, for instance, or very strange crocheted bottle covers over wine bottles full of sand - was a WWII era cot, still mostly intact, and a steamer trunk.
Once upon a time, I wrote a story where people, having bought a house, found a steamer trunk in the hidden passageways with a baby skeleton inside. I wrote it, and it still creeped me out. So having found a steamer trunk in the back of a semi-hidden eaves hideaway.... yeah, I made T open it first.
No skeletons. An old mouse-nest and some chewing damage, but no skeletons. I may have to refurbish it. *adds to list*

For some reason the mention of the trunk reminds me of a story I read somewhere (can't remember for sure where now) in which a person playing around in an antique store manages to lock himself into a steamer trunk. Not realizing the owner of the store is about to leave for a months long vacation trip.
