Story #20: The Maze

The Maze

       Steve comes home from his normal day job. Just another day at the office. He walks into his house greeted by his caring wife with dinner already on the table. As they eat, they talk about what happened during their work day, Steve talking about the ignorant customers at his job. He is a car mechanic. His wife, Lisa, talks about her job and how it's just all drama. She is an online salesperson.

      There night goes on like normal and they ended going to bed at 9pm. Little did Steve know, he would not be waking up in the same bed.

      As morning comes around he wakes up, with yellow walls that seemed to be twenty feet tall and a ceiling that was so much taller.

      Disoriented and looking around, "What the-"

      The intercom rings in. A deep voice echoes, "Welcome Steve, you are in a center of maze. It may be long, it may be short, that's for you to find out. You have until midnight to make it out, or else we take your wife."

       Feeling confused and worried, he jumped up and immediately started searching for a way out. As hours passed of frantic searching, he finally made it out to be greeted by his wife.

       Now today, Steve is much more thankful for his life and all of the people in it. He remembers to this day how easy he could have lost his wife just because he couldn't get out of giant yellow maze.
