I go outside every single day.
But there was a lady on our street that didn't leave her 1-bedroom apartment for almost 30 years. She was the sister of this old guy named "Doc" that used to hang out with all the teenagers on the street corner.
The funny thing was, Doc's sister had no specific reason for not leaving their apartment, she just had no reason to.
Then one day she had to go somewhere and left the apartment like it was no big deal. No celebration, no coming out party. All she remarks was that some store around the corner, which had closed just after WWII, was gone.
There were a lot of nutty people like that in our neighborhood in Brooklyn. Half the people had never been to Manhattan and it was only 20 minutes away by subway.
