Back to the Maze

Chapter 5 | Newt

"..ve you too."

I sit straight up. I turn my head from side to side, trying to figure out who was speaking. Did I say that? I must have woken myself up.

I snap back to the hideous reality. Where am I? I'm jerked around by the force that seems to be raising me upward. I'm in some sort of lift. It screeches as it rubs against the wall, and red lights flash on and off, causing all the more confusion. I fall to the ground. My knees feel weak and my stomach turns. I lower my head, and puke through the holes beneath me. I cry out in a throaty yell, drool falling down my face. I feel so irritated and distraught...

I close my eyes, hoping this will all end soon. The alarms and flashing lights might be the thing to drive me over the edge.

But this is all to familiar.

It feels as though hours go by. There is so much chaos with such little factors causing it. What happens from here? Before I have time to even try to answer my own question, it stops.

Everything just stops.

There's silence. But only for a short second.
