The Plagued Seeker



Why am I always the seeker in Hide and Go Seek? I want to hide and I want someone to find me.

It must be because I am too impatient. I cannot wait, and the seeker always looks in the silliest places - places where no human could even fit. So as the anticipation builds, I, with much excitement, jump out of my hiding spot, which is dark and cold and lonely and frightening, and I say "here I am, here I am!" and then the seeker gets angry and says, "That's not how you play the game" and storms off.

I never was keen on rules.

An inherent tragic paradox of the human condition...a condition that has lasted since the dawn of our existence...
