The best hiding place is somewhere dark.
Somewhere dark and cold and scary and uncertain.
No-one will look for you there.
They are content in the sun.
There you can hide forever.
Forever is a long time.
They forget, after a while; they forget they are supposed to find you.
And in the end, when the thrill leaks away and the darkness oozes in its place, you forget too.
Forget that you're supposed to be found.
All that you are fades.
Nothing is left but this darkness.
It is as if the light never was.
Never will be.
And you're gone.
It's not too late. Reach out.
Open the door.
Step out into the sun.
Make them remember you.
Losing this game is much like winning.
A/N: Inspired by the time that I hid in the woodshed and everybody forgot about me. Happy 6th birthday Kassie! *sigh*
