―Well, now we‘ll be more alike than ever.‖ My aunt smiled.

―Here‘s a black corset,‖ I said, taking a costume off the rack.

―I wore that in A Midsummer Night’s Dream when I played Helena,‖ my aunt gushed. ―I couldn‘t breathe for a week.‖

―How about this?‖ she asked, modeling a witch‘s hat presumably from an over-the-top production of The Wizard of Oz.

―I think it might be a little overkill,‖ I offered.

Aunt Libby found a Puritanical high-collared black dress. ―We wore these in The Crucible. If I hike it up a few inches…it might be quite fabulous.‖

―I think it would be ghastly,‖ I complimented her.

Cardboard boxes marked MEN‘S, WOMEN‘S, and CHILDREN‘S lined the wall underneath the windows.

I removed a box from the top of the stack labeled WOMEN‘S, 9 and sifted through it.

The box was full of everything from cowboy boots to tap shoes, galoshes to stilettos.

―Here‘s some Mary Janes. With a pair of black tights and that Crucible dress, you‘ll look like…‖

―A grown-up Wednesday Addams,‖ my aunt said halfheartedly.

―Perfect!‖ I declared enthusiastically.
