Manhunt

When I was a kid, all the kids in the neighborhood would get together and play manhunt. This game was great. It took me a long time to get the concept that I could win by not being seen. I would wear whatever and just go out and play. White socks and shoes were a dead give away of your positioning.

I soon learned that wearing all black was my best bet. Black pants and shoes were manhunt gear. I then got so good at hiding that kids got tired of looking for me.

Essentially everyone got bored looking for me and would go home and then I was left in my hiding spots for hours because I had no idea the ‘hunt’ was off.

Come to think of it, that sucked.
