The torchlight barely met the stone ceiling above the three weary old men. One a soldier in King Alfred’s army, one a noble lord from Cuttenbargh and the other unknown to the others. They had awoken in this strange place of darkness with no recollection of how they had arrived. The soldier, already with sword unsheathed, scanned the black, stone, walls. They had no top… they simply rise, he though...

The walls stretched upwards for what seemed like miles. They were tall and ominous, so vast they made you feel no bigger than an ant. I don’t know how I got here, or even what day it is. All I know is that I have to find my way out. This maze, this labyrinth, it plays tricks on your mind. A sense of paranoia constantly haunts me, as if there are unseen eyes following my every move.

My body is hea...

“Ugh” I muttered under my breath. I rubbed my eyes; sitting up. It was cold, bright, and smelled vaguely of mold. The floor was damp and smooth.

“Where the hell am I?” I heard someone beside me whisper. I could hear the fear in their words. I whipped my head in the direction of their shaky voice. It was a boy. A small blonde boy. He looked younger than me. He didn’t seem to have any more of an i...

We knew from the second we came down here that we had made a mistake. We walked through the vast gates made from mossy cracked stone into the dimly lit depths. I remember as we walked in Josh and Sarah were so full of life and eager to adventure somewhere we had never gone before we often did things like this but by far this would be our biggest adventure yet. We walked through the thick brush tha...

A/N: I was going to make this longer and I had ideas for how it connected to the prompt but then I got bored whoops lol.

The mall seemed unnatural, a giant obtrusive fortress in an otherwise quaint landscape of small houses and quiet people. Or maybe it was more fitting to say it was a relic of a time when the town could boast such importance. Despite the slow erosion of the building—the cracks i...

Mia, Emily, Chase, and Carter have been friends for god knows how long. They’ve been by each other’s side. One day, they decided to go on a vacation. They went to a strange hotel, and once they entered the doors, they were gone.

Mia and the others woke up an an unfamiliar floor. Chase sat up first. “Where are we? This doesn’t look like a hotel to me…”. Mia sat up as well, quickly followed by Car...

Our characters spend hours walking through the labyrinth. The walls on the labyrinth are a dark tone that seem natural. Sharp and soft edges and a thick layer of dust remains over the stone. The path is a light sandy dirt that leaves the faintest of marks in it. The characters track their paths and try their best not to rewalk them. Yet somehow they always end back onto the path already walked. Af...

We both look around anxious, how did we even get here in the first place?! We look around trying to find a way out. It feels like we’re almost going in circles but there’s no giving up. Jack flicks his brown hair out of his eyes and stares at me, “Do you think there’s a way out?” I freeze, anxious at this comment. Could it be true that there’s no way out of this place? I look side to side, looking...

It was almost like a dark cave, but it was just a house with no lights on. Water dripped from the ceiling but it was all just the rain seeping through the collapsing ceiling. I scurry to a steady stance, the moonlight simmering through a window. We had been chosen to go to the Labrynth. No one ever wanted to get chosen. No one could find the exit.

The labyrinth was the largest house ever, bui...

I last saw Gus, the leader of our group try to guide three teenage boys and girls to the far leftside of the labyrinth where nobody has been before, but I never saw them come back. Did they really make it out?

I guess I should have tried harder to make them stay, but Gus kept saying he knew better than me and that he had memorized the labyrinth looking for a way out. But he’ll get what’s coming ...
