Did you have a favourite hiding place or secret spot as a child? Describe it for me.

B Natural answer

Yes, my favourite spot was behind the garage at my grandparents' house. There was also a stack of old boxes nearby, so I could disappear for a while and feel safe. I usually went there during hide-and-seek with my cousins, but sometimes I went alone just to relax and watch everyone from far away.
