The Maze

Chapter One

I take a step and the maze closes.

There’s no turning back, the opening is gone.

I walk down a long strip of maze.

There are many turns to choose.

I choose a dead end.

There’s no way out.

I should have brought a map.

I find my way out.

I’m free.

Chapter Two

I’ve been walking in this maze.

I’ve had a steady pace.

No horrible turns or dead ends.

I stop paying attention.

My mistake.

I hit a dead end.

Now it’s harder to get out.

I get out.

Chapter Three

I get out of the maze.

No more dead ends to worry about.

Until I hit the next maze.

There are only a few dead ends.

I hit one.

I got out no problem.

I get out of the maze.

Chapter Four

I get to a new maze.

It’s bigger than the other two.

I go to step in.

I step back out.

I walk around the maze.

I look back at what I avoided.

I learned.
