Skeleton in the Closet

So the title of this post is also the title of a short story I'm planning on writing for my creative writing class. (fuck me I just got a pounding headache grr.) And this is the pitch for it.

While a maintenance man is cleaning out an apartment for a tenant he discovers a human skeleton in a closet.

The possibilities are endless. In all honesty I was thinking of making it two human skeletons. And I'm not going to lie I am flip flopping on the thought. To be honest I have so many thoughts going through my head right now for what I want to do.

Now the issue is how do I keep the piece under 750 words or less? I mean from that one sentence this thing could become a fucking novel for Pete's sake! Honestly I think that might be more difficult.

Why its so difficult is because I have so many damn choices! I mean do i want to make this a comedy or a horror story? How old should the man be? Should he be young or older or in between? Single? Married? Dating? The possibilities are fucking endless!!

There is even the where! Arizona? California? Oklahoma? England?

Seriously. I believe this project is going to be more difficult...and a lot more adventurous than I ever thought.

Decisions, decisions. Hmm...
