None of It


       He opened the closet door. It was empty. He stood there blinking. The closet should have contained three suits and some slacks and a few pairs of shoes. The shelf at the top should have displayed at least a dozen shirts and an equal number of shorts and some socks and handkerchiefs. But none of it was there. Just an empty closet.
