In a seemingly endless game of hide-and-seek, a mother looks for her child in all his favourite hiding spots. But he has hidden himself so well she’s unable to find him.
Then she comes up with the perfect bait to coax him out. His favourite toys!
Will they entice him to reveal himself? Or has she been playing the wrong game all along?
Hide-and-Seek secured an Honourable Mention in the Spring/Summer 2021 issue of Allegory Magazine, Volume 39/66.
