Down the Hall; On the Left

Contest for Escape Reality Enjoy <3

I stand, balancing on the curb. I stare across the street at the door. The blinking light of the Open signe ntices me- it calls to me. I cross the street and open the door.

I'm inside. There is one main room with several hallways branching off. The room is dimly lit and has a large oriental rug sprawling on the floor. In the midle, sitting cross legged, is an elderly balding man.

"Why are you here?" he asks, staring at me.

"I w-want to escape" I reply.

"Escape what?" he raises an eyebrow.

"R-reality. I want to escape reality."

He pauses. "Reality is tricky. Are you strong enough?"

"Yes."

He stands up suddenly and moves his face inches from mine.

"Down the Hall; On the Left"

He points and smiles. 

I walk dazed following his instructions.

At the door I pause. What I am about to do is unregrettable- I can never take this back.

I twist the know and open the door. Everything has faded except for the darkness. 

The black clouds shed an eerie liight upon the sight beforeme.

A maze. A large maze with twists and turns.A maze with no return. 

I take a deep breath. This is what I wanted. I begin to run.

Author's Note

The maze is your mind. To escape reality you must lose your mind.
