Every family in every town on every continent has one. It’s a cabinet. Not particularly odd, not out of place. The paint was peeling on the corners and the knob was a bit loose. The inside smelled like dust and the paint wasn’t the same as the kitchen walls.You hid in there once during a game of hide ‘n seek.No one told you it doesn’t open back into your reality. Don’t worry, you can’t tell the difference.But everybody misses you.

You hid in there once during a game of hide ‘n seek.

No one told you it doesn’t open back into your reality. Don’t worry, you can’t tell the difference.

But everybody misses you.
