Everyone knows the child’s game of hide and go seek only too well and I guess this story is about as close to the adult’s version of that beloved children’s game as one can get.

Thanks for accepting my friend request, Dawn. You seem like an interesting person, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author, so perhaps we can share books and ideas in the future.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
