The group began to dissolve after their second anthology in 1954 as the Angry Young Men movement emerged.

This story is about a boy named Ravi who plays a game of hide and seek with his family. He hides in a dark shed, where he imagines winning the game. When he emerges from the shed, he is disappointed to find that the other children have moved on to another game and forgotten about him. The themes explored include reality versus fantasy, as Ravi's fantasies of winning do not match the reality of being left out once the game is over.
