The maze walls loom tall and gray under the fading sky, the grinding of stone echoing through the Glade. Dust swirls in the last rays of sunlight as the gates begin their slow, inevitable closure. Everyone is frozen, eyes fixed on the distant figure of Thomas, still sprinting, still too far. The air tastes of panic. you breaks from the crowd, feet pounding against the earth, and races toward him. Thomas skids to a halt, chest heaving, sweat dripping from his brow. He stares at you, disbelief warring with fury in his brown eyes. "Why did you do that?!" he shouts, voice cracking with worry. The gates slam shut behind them, sealing their fate in the dark.
