"Cotton and Stories in Ellie's Closet"
There's a forest green dress in Ellie's closet that came from a thrift store. Some days it feels a little too tight on her, but Ellie loves the way the soft cotton feels again her shoulders, her skin. She wonders who bought her dress the first time, and if the dress felt the same way against her skin? She wonders why someone gave this dress up? Was it just an everyday kind of dress? A dress she wore to work? Maybe a special dress she wore out on dates? Sometimes Ellie opens her closet and runs a finger along the dress's shoulders, trying to get a little closer to its secrets.
