Remember that FL has put her Depression Broody Babadook (DBB) & her ED Bitch (EDB) there, with Harry Potter (HP) to keep ‘em company. HP is a decent person (and I don’t want to bring HP’s author in this mix - if you know, you know) - so Harry keeps DBB & EDB magically sedated & somewhat entertained in there. I come & feed them all regularly (leftover roaches for DBB & skinny milkshakes for EDB, HP can conjure food via magic - what’s the spell again?). Last I checked, the trio was deep into the game of Magic Marbles. It seems that Harry is winning (go, mate!). All is well. Let me know about the inhabitants of your deranged closets (or attics, cellars, under-the-beds or any other spaces to keep your monsters in check)!
