Mini Comic: #4 Hide and Seek

Hide and seek

I am 4 years old,

Playing hide and seek with my grandfather.

While everyone is gathered in our house. 

I know his usual spot 

I go there and find him 

But he slips away, moving ahead of me.

I run after him 

Through the corridors, 

To the rooms, 

Up the stairs, 

That leads to the terrace.

I can’t catch him 

Crying...

I call out his name 

Hoping he would stop.

But he only drifts farther, 

Lifting upwards

As if he has wings!

Up in the sky 

He rises, glowing. 

Unable to comprehend 

I wait for him to return

And, then I go downstairs 

I was 4 years old when my grandfather passed away.
