You begin to get tired but cannot find the courage to ask for rest, you must finish, you must arrive. To s...

Do You Need To Know What’s Real?

“Y’know what they always say,” Daunce proudly said.

“Just follow the left wall,” he smiled, pointing his finger upward.

“That’s just a myth, D,” Rapta argued. Daunce blew his tongue raspberry.

A Weeping Exit

Sometimes I ask myself the question, “why?” Why do I keep searching? Why do I keep looking? Why do I keep trying? I always have the same answer, “I’m not sure.” Maybe it’s human curiosity, maybe it’s the longing to escape, or perhaps it’s the loneliness.


I don’t know how it happened, the “great” May Lilac, stuck eternally on this labyrinth. The voices say there’s an exit, but I feel like I’v...

“Okay so this is the third time we’ve been in this spot.” Mary said to Jane.

“Well maybe all the other routes didn’t lead anywhere but this last one will?”

“Let’s hope.” Mary started to walk to far left hall. She could hear Jane’s footsteps behind her.

“This is weird, this hall doesn’t have any doors.” Jane murmured touching the left wall.

“What good would it do? The doors just had brick walls b...

Maybe.

We have been walking for a what feels like a hour, that’s what we calculate. But honestly we don’t know it yet. The clocks are broken, the seconds last quicker than normal ones in some of them and there is more hours than I can count on the clock that is placed at the end of the hallway.

Labyrinth

I can’t remember the last time I saw natural light. I’ve been stuck in this..maze for as long as I can remember. The walls are a bleached white and the ceiling and floors are pitch black. You can almost see your reflection in it, I don’t recommend doing that. This place, it changes you. I’m slowly forgetting everything. My memories, my family, even my name…

My only hope is that I’ll eventually rea...

Maze

My elbow grazed the stone wall which felt cool and damp against my skin. The headlamp cast a dim light over the man ahead of me-Markus. Our hurried footsteps echoed through the passage as we made multiple turns-left, right, left, left, right, forward, right.


“Markus, do you know where we’re going? Are you sure whatever that thing was didn’t follow us in here?”I spoke in a hushed tone.

The Labyrinth

The torchlight barely met the stone ceiling above the three weary old men. One a soldier in King Alfred’s army, one a noble lord from Cuttenbargh and the other unknown to the others. They had awoken in this strange place of darkness with no recollection of how they had arrived. The soldier, already with sword unsheathed, scanned the black, stone, walls. They had no top… they simply rise, he though...
