The cupboard said to me is about how closure is often overrated. That the beauty of things can be in the mystery that is in the unknown. The intention was to illustrate the following...
If you chose not to read on, you would have the space to imagine what the cupboard said to me, and completed the story for yourself. It which should be unlikely, but let me know if you did, it's so interesting if anyone did not read on.
If you read on, then perhaps there is the initial anticlimax and someone had told me before that it made feel like it was a waste of his time. Indeed. I am sorry to waste his time reading my story but it illustrates my point well and I am satisfied that it can instigate that feeling of disappointment.
"The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment. "

If I remember correctly, the usage of the talking cupboard comes slightly from the "skeleton in the cupboard" thing and how kids are fearful of the monsters in their closet. The bart simpson is symbolic of things that are naughty and mischievous. Which alludes to the riddle that this piece plays on the reader.

Actually i think the climax of the whole entry is the anticlimax itself. I seriously LOL-ed when i finished reading. Depending on how people see it ah.
Reinforces my belief that irony is a damn good way to understand this world.
Well, I wonder if anyone really didn't read until the ending of the thing.
Then again, he probably won't be reading sneak then.
You see? Irony again!
Well... if you are a believer of all things relative then irony of things would make very much sense. Otherwise i thought it would be too confusing for people to understand the whole pt of ironies.
Anyway if someone did not read until the end, he might come across the sneak still as he might have noticed it in other entries.. but then again, the probability of that happening is quite small (those who choose not to read on is freaking unprobable already)
