Hidden Things

Yesterday, among the zucchini leaves, I found a large zuke, as long as my forearm, lying in the dirt under a yellowing leaf.  It had been there a while.  There were pale scallop-edged patches where voles had gnawed through the skin.  I had no idea it was there, and it felt like discovering a mysterious treasure.

So, write about something that has been hidden, but emerges–an object, a feeling, a person.
