A little later that night, Mary dropped a large pen on the
floor, and Suzy ran away with it. Suzy dropped it on the floor under the
dresser. When Mary tried reaching for it, she couldn’t. Then for some reason,
she tried moving the dresser on the right side.
When she did, the dresser seemed to slide to the left along
with the floor under it, revealing a small door in the middle of the wall. Mary
peeked inside and, because it was dark, she decided to get the still-lit oil
lantern from her desk.
Unsure of what lay past the doorway, Mary hesitated before
stepping inside. When she did, the doorway she had just entered disappeared,
and there in front of her stood her ghostly figure, no longer ghostly or
opaque, but a solid living person. She glanced down at herself, no longer
seeing her jeans, tee shirt and sneakers. Instead, she wore a dress, black
shoes and short white socks--the same clothes she found the other day, only
now, they looked new.
An Alice in Wonderland moment, wonderful!
