A skeleton in the cupboard

Granny used to say to my cousins and me that every family has got a secret , a mysterious one, and that maybe one day we would be able to find it out. So here is what my story will be about. In July, 1977 my family and me decided to drop in on granny, who lived on the outskirts of an isolated city, as we hadnt heard of her for a long time. Her house stood forlorn and had a ghastly overview .We doubted whether she was living there. We knocked at the door. However, there was no answer. My younger brother, Alex, noticed there was an open window at one of the sides of the house, so he sneaked through and so did we. We searched for granny in all the house, but there was no trace of her at all. The pieces of furniture were all covered in dust and there were webs hanging from the roof. We were clueless. We were worried -Where on the hell was she?Alex got a brainwave how about the kitchen?- he muttered. I rushed to the kitchen. The first thing I noticed was the long cupboard therefore, I opened it I couldnt believe my ears!! There lay a skeleton inside! I screamed and everybody grew scared as we thought it was grannys skeleton. Robert, my cousin, ran up to the phone to contact the police but as he picked up the receiver we heard somebody trying to force the back door. Mum, got hold of a knife and we all hid ourselves under the oblong table. The person was able to get into the kitchen and then she coughed. To our surprise, we realized it was granny! We all ran to her and hugged her. Then I asked her about the skeleton in the cupboard and she replied: were you scared about it? I bought when I studied Medicine, many years ago and I ve kept it there to donate it to the hospital but I cant carry it myself.Do you think you can help me sweeties? Virginia Alvarez Joaqun V.
