big hat

I have this really big hat and I put it right over your head. The hat is really big. It covers your entire face. The hat is so big that no human mind can see its shape, no human mind, except mine. Except mine. I know this hat because I've had it since I was little, only the hat gets bigger and bigger and once I put it over your head, you won't be able to see anything. You say, "Ah Ah." Then you say, "It's all dark. Get me out of here. Where am I?" As I watch you being surrounded by this big hat I realize I cannot see you. I mean, your face is totally covered by it, and all I see are your petite legs wobbling about trying to spell the word 'help'. "Here," I say. I take off the hat. But it's too late. You cannot see me and I cannot see anything anymore.
