Just a small space

It is a secret place, kinda like hiding under the Christmas tree, looking up through the twinkling lights of stringy silver and gold. This secret place seems familiar. This place has three distinct colors that I spy through these color blind eyes, blue, gray and white. There are some sticky things where the white meets the gray so you don't want to get to close to those, the blue is soft like combed cotton but peculiarly angled towards the wall. This secret space often shields you from bloodshot eyes, fowl breath, and long hairy arms. It is large enough to hold a friend with you if you are small, but most often it is used when you are alone. Keep quiet now though, because you don't want to be found there alone unless you like being dragged across the floor and squeezed so tight you think your eyes will pop out.  Loud obnoxious voices can be heard down the hallway hollering B E V E R L Y ! which echoed enough to make you stone cold.

Then your older and you realize this secret spot was just the spot behind the couch in the living room...

There, or under the house with the dead animals, or up in the tree in the back yard, or in top of the closets...
