Hiding in the Closet

Closets used to be great hiding places. You could bury yourself amongst layers of clothes in a game of hide-and seek and grab a great spot to hide if you stayed still and went in deep; especially if the seeker had a phobia of the dark. You would sit there amongst musty old clothes trying not to giggle while you could hear them go back and forth before emerging in triumph covered in dust. But when you grow up, you get a bit bigger so it becomes more awkward to hide in. It generally becomes a hiding place for your stuff rather than yourself. Occasionally they contain forgotten remnants of your childhood. But if you go searching within them for too long, you can get stuck in there mentally rather than physically. What may be a quick search to find something will uncover forgotten boxes of toys and photograph albums.
