When I was a child, I had an imaginary friend named Kimmy. I don’t remember Kimmy, so I can’t tell you anything about what she looked like or her personality, but my parents tell me that I spent a lot of time her - playing and chatting away - until one day, she went behind the refrigerator.

My mom came into the kitchen to find me pressed against the wall, staring into the narrow gap between the 1970’s floral wallpaper and the refrigerator coils, begging Kimmy to come out. When my dad got home from work, he quietly asked my mother, “Is there an actual child behind there?” That would have been, of course, physically impossible. But my distress was convincing.

As far as I know, Kimmy disappeared into a portal behind the refrigerator and never returned.
