Hide and Don't Seek: And Other Very Scary Stories

Product Information

In western New York, high school senior Betts is tired of her parents’ micromanaging and of always playing it safe. At the candy store where Betts works, she meets Aiden, a boy with a difficult past Continue reading » Hide and Seek" appears in Vernon Scannell's collection Walking Wounded (1965). Written in the second person, it instructs "you" on how to win at the children's game of hide-and-seek, conjuring a specific scenario that involves hiding in a garden shed. As "you" emerge victorious, however, you find that all the seekers are gone—you no longer know where they are. The literal scenario seems to become a metaphor for isolation and abandonment, and an implied warning against more figurative kids of "hiding," such as withdrawing socially or concealing your true self from others. There are a few failures in the “Hide and Don’t Seek” offerings, almost all of them poems. This is not because their subject matter doesn’t work (it does) but because too often they neither rhyme nor scan, and to my simple way of thinking, a rhyming poem should both rhyme and scan. Unless you’re a rapper or T. S. Eliot, you have to do better than rhyming children with hidden, or brothers with shudder. Sorry. The poem comprises one undivided stanza of twenty-seven lines. The continuous flow of language reflects the flowing and changing emotions of the child. He (if we assume it is a boy) doesn’t pause or consciously change thought processes, so nor should the poem. Lines 12-13: “They're moving closer, someone stumbles, mutters; / Their words and laughter scuffle, and they're gone.”

Lines 25-26: “The darkening garden watches. Nothing stirs. / The bushes hold their breath; the sun is gone.” PDF / EPUB File Name: Hide_and_dont_seek_-_Anica_mrose_rissi.pdf, Hide_and_dont_seek_-_Anica_mrose_rissi.epub Book Genre: Anthologies, Childrens, Fiction, Halloween, Holiday, Horror, Juvenile, Middle Grade, Short Stories, Thriller, Young Adult The child talks to himself in a stream of consciousness. He gives himself commands, as in ‘don’t come out just yet’ and speculates what the other children are thinking and doing, referring to them in the third person. He speaks to himself in the second person, as in ‘you’ve never heard them sound so hushed…’. Fear and discomfort creep in, as in the personified ‘darkening garden watches’. At moments of tension he uses direct speech, to create immediacy. Finally the poem ends with a question mark. All his aspirations, his pride at winning are undermined by the uncertain outcome of the game. Even creepier, “Beatrice” is about a girl of that name who gets her dream present, a Looks Like Me Doll. The doll is a lifelike robot who wants to be Beatrice as much as Beatrice wants to have a look-alike toy companion. What happens after the doll convinces Beatrice to swap clothes is so artfully done and gave me such heebee jeebies I had to put the book down. This is a full-on, Twilight Zone-worthy story.There is no regular rhyme scheme, though the poet uses assonant and consonant rhyme throughout, sometimes in the form of couplets, as in ‘out’ and ‘shout’ in lines five and six. Later ‘clever and 'over’ are a consonantly rhyming couplet. These have the effect of pulling together and unifying this free-verse poem. This epistolary story opens with Sophia sitting in a time-out that she is not going to take lying down. In her first letter following the incident, she informs her mother that she’s headed to the Continue reading »
