The garden seemed so much more alive in the dark. Every rustle in the trees could be a ghost, every snapped twig could be a wild animal. “28, 29, 30!” called Ethan, the seeker. Imran ducked behind a bush, heart thumping, just making it as the torch light skimmed over the leaves. He shivered a little as a cool breeze ruffled his hair.

What time of day do you think it was? How do you know?
What game do you think they were playing? How do you know?
How was Imran feeling? How do you know?
