“Are you satisfied?!” The young woman screamed at the man
that was watching her with insane relish. “What more do you want from me?!!”
Her limbs were shaking from exhaustion, and sharp pain tore through her body
with every move.
The man laughed maniacally. “You’re
almost there, my dear.” He crooned. “The end of the maze is so close. Not much
further, and then I’ll be finished with you.”
The girl sobbed with despair. The
walls of the maze rose up before her ominously as she reentered it. It took her
hours before she finally saw the end in sight. Excitement gripped her and she
sprinted for it. She passed the end, there was a single shot; and she fell.
