I've hidden from My Wife and Kids just by standing completely still in the corner of a dark room it's amazing how our brains are programmed to see things that move my wife gets a little more creative but it's hard for us to do anything too elaborate because the kids are not very Cooperative in waiting for us to hide on Tuesday evening after work we decided to play my wife decided to hide first I counted down from 10 with the kids holed up in the downstairs office Ready or Not Here I Come the ki
ds bounded out of the room like wild dogs I followed slowly trying to get a sense of where my wife was hiding I'd often try to figure out what room she was hiding in first to gently guide the kids so that we wouldn't find her too soon or spend too long looking for her I saw her when I entered the living room she was crouched behind the couch I could see a bit of her elbow poking out from behind the upholstery the kids walked right past her too intent on checking the kitchen I waited for them to
return as they walked back in and rounded the couch I waited for them to squeal and Delight except they didn't confused I approached the couch she wasn't there huh maybe I just seen a tag or something poking out or maybe she'd moved her hiding spot wouldn't be the first time as I said she's more creative at this than I am so we moved on we checked all the usual spots underneath the shelving in the garage behind the kitchen door even in the lower kitchen cabinets she wasn't in any of those spots
maybe she went upstairs I hadn't heard her go upstairs but she can creep pretty quietly I walked along the hallways the kids in tow Jesse I called in a sing-song voice we're going to find you gotcha our bedroom door was open and there was a long gest-shaped lump under the covers let's check Mom and Dad's bedroom I said to the kids patterning footsteps as they charged behind me I reached for the light switch flicked on the lights then grabbed the Hem of the comforter and yanked it off my heart dr
opped the bed was empty stared down in confusion it must have just been bunched up weirdly but I could have sworn it looked like a person under there the rough shape of someone in a fetal position legs bent back curved I backed out of the room the kids and I went downstairs Jess I called out we can't find you come on out nothing the kids lost interest they bounded into the family room and began playing with their cars I was about to call out to her again when I noticed the chain of the basement
door lock was disengaged as I approached my heart hammered in my chest I knew she was waiting on the other side waiting to jump out at me and give me a heart attack she'd done that before I took a deep breath and swung open the door she wasn't there damp air wafted up from the basement I clicked on the light Jess I called out no answer the kids aren't playing anymore I called down and you shouldn't be hiding down there anyway these stairs are too dangerous nothing I turned about to close the doo
r but then something caught my eye black hair poking through the gap between the stairs about halfway down she's hiding under the stairs I stepped down the wood creaked under my weight the hair glistened below me in the dim yellow light I continued down the steps avoiding stepping on her hair until I was standing on the concrete floor I Whirled around aha but the space under the stairs was empty my blood ran cold Jess this isn't funny I shouted stop playing games with me footsteps sounded behind
me I Whirled around the naked bulb in the ceiling only lit half the basement the other half where we had rows and rows of storage boxes was in near total darkness but I squinted trying to make it out in the murky Darkness behind a stack of boxes in the corner I thought I could see her standing there I could only see her in my peripheral vision like how you can only see dim Stars when you're not looking right at them because of how your optic cells are arranged I focused on one of the storage bo
xes really stared at it and when I did I realized I could see her pale calves extending up into the darkness and as I stood there I realized I could hear her breathing I can see you there I said my voice wavering why are you being so weird the kids aren't even playing anymore so come out please deep in the pit of my stomach I knew there was something wrong something horribly wrong so I chickened out I'm going upstairs you can join me when you're ready I headed for the stairs but halfway there th
e bulb flickered and went out total darkness surrounded me I stretched my hands out blindly groping into the darkness they only fell on air I frantically pawed through the air searching for something anything my fingers caught in something hair I screamed and yanked my hands back then I ran blindly into the darkness but something glanced off me I shoved at it I heard a dull thwack and then I kept running the side of the banister caught me straight in the chest panting I felt my way to the stairs
and climbed them as fast as I could then I locked the door to the basement and frantically ran to my kids they were fine but as I hug them I couldn't get the horrible thought out of my mind the hair I'd felt it was higher than my eye level about six six and a half feet off the ground Jess is only five two asterisk asterisk asterisk the police searched the entire house my wife isn't here they searched the backyard and patrolled in a three-mile radius they came up empty-handed it's like she disap
peared off the face of the earth except last night as I rolled over in bed I swear my fingers touched something warm
