Nov 11 - On her way to the kitchen, eager to parse somebody else’s pantry, she suddenly remembered with a keen sense of clarity reserved mostly for childhood memories of friends’ homes—like the novelty of weeknight dinners at a neighbour’s or the quick glance of an older brother’s bedroom—she now remembered a game of hide-and-go-seek in the second grade where she’d hid in a friend’s pantry and never been found. Crouched in the dark under shelves of baking supplies and pasta boxes, she waited and waited, only to grow bored and a bit lonely, and eventually fall asleep. Had she had it all wrong this whole time? Was losing the point of the game? After all getting caught was far more thrilling and fun; of that, she was certain.
