Keys

Keys....

I love keys. The moment I see one it just pops my mind open like a shaken bottle and my imagination soda will start fizzing out.


My imagination flies away, making up preposterous stories behind every key I see. It could just be a simple key to an apartment door.


People don't really use skeleton keys anymore. It's a sad thought. Can I get an amen that Skeleton keys are way cooler than the regular, thin ones we use nowadays?


The key could go to an old attic door, or a lost jewelry box an orphan's mother owned and now this key is all they have left to remember their mother by. Who knows? It could go to a pirates treasure box or to a railway man's lunch box. It could open a wardrobe door that leads you into a new world... 

I won't go on. I really ought to get up and eat breakfast. :P Have a wonderful day y'all!
What do you imagine when you see keys?

    My imagination always brings me back to the days of Jane Austen when I see a skeleton key. Vintage is kind of my thing though!
