Friendly Warning

Nigel said, “Friendly warning: The maze has its own ideas.”

“Sure, old man,” Julian snickered. Seems Nigel has lost it.

Julian walked into the maze, planning to start in the middle. Something jostled his shoulder as he raised the trimmer, making him drop it. Retrieving it, he stood up and found the maze walls were now towering above him.

What’s this about? Julian wondered.

Retracing his path to exit the maze, Julian found no opening, only an impenetrable barricade blocking his way, darkening the sky.

“Nigel,” Julian called. “Nigel!” Julian screamed, again and again until he could scream no more.
