Darkness
I’m stuck in a maze blind. I feel walls surrounding me as I touch them with my hands. I kick the floor and see if I can feel walls with my feet. The lights are off, so I can’t even try to see through my blind fold. This is a dare so I must keep my blindfold on. I’m alone. I pray and listen. I hear birds singing. I head forward then to the left down a long narrow hall. I run into a wall— it’s time to turn. Let’s see right or left. I turn right since the bird chirps are louder that direction down a short hall. Something is on the floor—something gushy. Eeew. That smell! Maybe I’m close to the birds. I continue to the left this time as the hall came to an end and I walk straight for a long while. I see light. I found a door. I’m out! Yay I can take off the blindfold now! Birds are in a tree outside. I wonder what I stepped in. I look down at my shoe —it’s glue.
