With my eyes closed I had to rely on my other senses for information. Between what I could hear and what I could feel, I created my own version of what I thought I was feeling.
While I waited for the first item to pass to me, I could hear the sound of crinkling paper. Ideas popped up in my head as to what I could expect to reach out and hold. Was the paper large like a newspaper, or as small as origami? I felt something on my knee and reached out to clutch an envelope and a folded papers. I could feel no writing on the paper. Perhaps no one had yet been inspired to write.
Next a small fuzzy creature was coaxed into my hands. It had a long nose, and cute little ears. It has a small tail and four little feet. I am not a specialist at identifying stuffed animals with my eyes closed, but my closest guess was that this stuffed animal resembled a mouse.
Again I could hear the slight tapping of the next object resting a foot away from me. I pictured in my mind a small party and the tapping of blue party cups ready to be filled with coke. Sure enough I was passed a plastic cup with two indentions on the side for better grip.
My favorite item came next. A thin plastic ball, small enough to fit into the palm of my hand, was lightly passed into my lap. I sat on the ground tossing the ball from hand to hand. I did not want to give the ball away to receive the next item...
a little baby shoe! The shoe was small enough to comfortably hold in one of my hands. I could feel the rubber bottom, and velcro instead of laces.
This is all I can remember from the game of invisible items.
