Imagine A World With An Endless Maze

Spiralling Down…Darkness invades my mind. Shadows awaken and I hear eerie sounds surrounding me. I walk slowly, thinking of how I ended up here… Hearing thumping footsteps I quickly hide. The atmosphere is dull and gloomy. I see a door, I look above and the sign on the door reads “this way.” I decide to be brave, I walk in and see… 

Blood everywhere, I’m terrified…I hear screams getting louder and louder. My sanity stops at 1% and my heartbeat gradually drops too, feeling like I'm a ghost living in hell… He turns around and I see white glowing eyes and glowing white teeth with a huge smile. I learnt about this before, it’s a creature called the “Smiler.” I dropped my flashlight and ran in fear… 

Running… I'm paralyzed in terror! The Smiler is chasing me and my insanity is at 100%, my body stops and I froze in fright, I feel his breath and fingers crawling all over me like a sharp, slithering, slimy snake all over me. I faint… as I’m fainting I hear footsteps everywhere, I pass out. As I awaken, I feel alive again. Will I ever be free? Can I get out of this place? How can I escape? Footsteps begin to slowly approach me…   

I drop deeper and deeper into a lost world and my insanity continues to rise… “Ahhhhh, ouch!” I see red flickering lights and a red hallway. I start visualising a way out of here. The Smiler is right behind me…I start sprinting, I twist and turn with lots of doors surrounding this endless hallway… Two days after running, I stopped in horror seeing that there was nowhere to go. It suddenly gets colder and colder… I see a glowing exit sign not too far away. The space gets tighter and tighter, I feel threatened in panic, I get anxious. The door to my exit gets brighter and brighter, as I take one more step I say “bye hell” I step in… brightness flashes my eyes, I appear at the first maze from several years ago… I ask myself “do I have to restart in this living hell?” I approach the door I came out of. I take my step with a sigh and say “I hope I can finally go home now.” Then I take the step and walk in, to my amazement…

I end up back HOME! I lay down on the grass and I smell the fresh air around me, I see flowers bloom again, I see the sky as bright as heaven. I hope I never end up back in that deep, dark, desolate place.

I survived this living hell.
