He was alone in the dark room, desperately looking for a place to hide. He could hear his heart thumping as he shuffled through different options, failing to find any of them safe enough to protect him from what was coming. Finally, located in the darkest corner of the room, there stood a very dark cupboard lying ignored for years. He quickly hid himself in it and slowly closed the squeaking door. Sitting absolutely still, he prayed hard to remain hidden.
Time passed. Slowly. He could hear hushed voices coming from far away. Was he safe? Was the threat of him being discovered fading away for the time being? But as his heart began to slow down to normal, there was some movement outside. He gasped as the door squeaked a little and he could see some large shadows moving outside, but he regained his calm and kept himself still to prevent giving away his position to the dark ghostly shadows moving outside.
A few moments passed before the voices started becoming louder, whispers turned into words, words started getting clearer, shadows became darker, and he could sense something waiting to happen at any moment now!
All of a sudden, the door opened and...
"I see you!"
and so ended another round of 'Hide & Seek'.
PS: Thanks for your time!
