Read the excerpt from the story Hide and Seek.
Raj immediately shook his head side to side, and his smile was replaced with a frown. The hills on Governors Island boasted four slides, one of which was 57 feet long, New York City's longest slide. The length didn't disturb Raj, but the slide was three stories tall, and he was petrified of heights, even if the slide did have the best views of the New York skyline. Maria was fearless and wanted to go on the slide more than anything in the world, mostly because she loved experiencing new adventures. Besides, she had played at least twenty rounds of hide and seek with him. Maybe it was time to try a new adventure.
Raj reluctantly nodded his head, and Maria squealed with delight. Grabbing Raj's hand, Maria headed toward the hills, which they climbed with care until they reached the summit. Raj looked down from the top of the slide, feeling absolutely terrified. Maria didn't hesitate for even a second. She slid down as soon as she reached the top, cheering with abandon, until she reached the bottom of the slide. He took a deep breath, slid down the slide, and began to scream gleefully, amazed at how much fun he was having. For the rest of the day, Raj climbed the hill and slid down each marvelous slide four times, enjoying the rush of excitement and unparalleled views of the New York skyline.
