Grandmother's Trunk


I found the old steamer trunk in a corner of the attic. There was an inch of dust on the floor and cobwebs hanging from the rafters.
Thunder boomed and I could hear the rain slapping against the roof only a few feet above my head… I found the envelope on top of old clothes that had been pressed and put away. I opened it. 
 This is all that was in the envelope. Why did grandmother have an 8 X 10 of a nude woman stashed away in her trunk?
