The narrator hides in a toolshed to play a game of hide and seek. They remain very still under sacks that smell like the sea as others search nearby. After a long wait where the narrator's legs grow stiff from the cold, they decide it is time to reveal themselves as the winner by calling out. However, when emerging from the shed, the narrator finds that those who were seeking them have now disappeared, leaving the garden still and empty.
