Moonlight Hide-and-Seek

“You can’t see me!” As I giggle, it’s dark and only the moon casts enough light to throw shadows across the yard.

“Ah, but I can hear you” we dart from place to place flashlights are not allowed in this game! as kids we found things to keep us busy and our parents from going insane.

The rustling of leaves as we ran, the only sound heard and used for a sense of direction! and tripping over a stump or two was common, too..

Four of us laughing as we scurry to find a better hiding spot! Pine trees were the best as we would almost climb to the top to avoid being caught!

The game would last for hours, we played once a week, the time spent was well worth the pine sap in our hair and on our jeans..!

Though this was twenty-three years ago, I can remember like it was yesterday, two friends have passed since then, and the others moved away, connected at heart and hide and seek in the dark..!
