Ulibak comes out of the closet —A very short story

One day, Ulibak awoke to find herself surrounded by darkness. None of her friends were around.. She wasn't in her bed, and the space around felt too cramped and musty to be her room. Cautiously, she stood up. And stretched. The roof was just beyond her reach. She tried exploring her surroundings, but her elbow bumped into one of what must have been the walls. When she swung her other hand, it bumped into somethign warm and fuzzy. She mentally called out to her friend, the mad doctor Miritri Yancha. She could hear ulibak's thoughts, and told her to try looking for a crack in the walls. Ulibak gingerly started probing the solid surfaces around her, till she noticed a crack of light shining through. She pushed harder, and the door swung open. She waited a while for her eyes to get accustomed to the light, turned around and sighed... She hadn't even known she'd been in a closet
