The Skeleton in the Cupboard

by Chelysheva Olena

Human is unique and wonderful being on our Earth planet. It is said that our organism is carefully designed and all our systems work coherently. Obviously, we are as good people as bad ones. The dialogue below shows the conversation between outer “good” and inner “evil” which still living in everyone of us.


ME: Hi! Nice to meet you, my dear skeleton! It seems like we haven’t been communicating for years!
SKELETON: Well-well, I thought you have forgotten about me so I’m reminding you now about my existence. I hope you won’t be upset about it. *irony*
ME: Oh, definitely not! You have grown up since our previous chat. *giggling*
SKELETON: Sure! I’ve collected and absorbed a lot of new things during this imprisoned time! By the way, I felt extreme loneliness and bore while being closed in this cupboard! It is so small for me that I couldn’t normally breathe, don’t you see? *showing steel muscles and pretending suffocation*
ME: Oh, come on! You’re not so feeble, stop pretending, please!
SKELETON: Please, please. I’m fed up with your politeness! “I’m sorry…, would you be so kind…., may I…, please… ” - all these phrases are the overt mask you wear, however, almost noone sees angry Helen spelling bad words “chucklehead, get the hell out of there!” Noone knows, my dear, how you really behave! People consider you’re almost saint! But I know all your sins! *threatening*
ME: These words are like an adaptation for living in this world because they help to avoid stressful situations. Everyone wants to be treated like that, so I started using them and I definitely see the results – I’ve been treated well too!
SKELETON: Ok, I see you won’t agree on any conditions. Neeeeext…*thinking*
ME: What the hell else have you known about me?!
SKELETON: Ha-ha! Get it! You have just shown your true character, my dear! By the way, it suits you more than polite mask! *sarcasm*
ME: Okay, sweetheart, what else do you want from me before I put you back in the cell? (I’m sorry I really meant - in the cupboard)
SKELETON: You’re scared, little beaver! I see… Just one more thing to say. I noticed that you’re eager to know the person’s birth data since you first saw her/him. Then you analyze carefully the horoscope of this person, trying to define the main traits of character and, moreover, your compatibility. That looks like intruding in someone’s soul, isn’t it?!
ME: Come on, dear skeleton! There is nothing weird about. It is common interest towards new person and I’m trying to get as more versatile impressions as I can via conversation, clothes, person’s zodiac sign. It’s not a crime, but just my way of recognition.
SKELETON: But wait! Don’t you find it quite insincere? Somebody may not want to be examined so thoroughly! It seems like you know more about this person than she\he herself/himself!  Anyway, I appreciate your behavior ‘cause it maintains my survival. M-m-m….
ME: You’d better go back in the cupboard till you’ll have more reasons to accuse me, dear skeleton or else I will examine your zodiac personality!
SKELETON: Ok, I go, but I’m not going to sit silent there! You gave me a lot of information to digest so watch out!
  ME: Beat it!
