The hoof prints continue deeper into the maze. The sound of the main boardwalk can be barely heard and the only light comes from the nearly full moon above you. Then a roar breaks the silence. It’s a beastly sound that echoes all around you. You can’t tell which direction it’s coming from, but you run along the direction you were going.
As you run, you pass what looks like shreds of clothing. A pair of jeans torn right open and a pair of boxes. You catch another deep inhalation of the flowers on the hedges, this time the smell is much more intense and it makes your eyes water. Another roar gets you running again passed several turns all the way to a dead end.
You double back to a set of four directions and head right. You find more remnants of clothes. Shirts, shoes, pants, all of them scattered across the maze and different sets and styles. You slow your pace down to walk to catch your breath. Your lungs and feet ache from your sprinting.
Then you here a groan. It sounds like someone’s hurt. You follow the sound around a corner and see someone huddled on the ground. “Hello,” you ask, but get no reply. You take a few steps closer and see it’s a young boy like you, but he’s only wearing a t-shirt and a pair of briefs. He’s curled upright against the edge of the maze with his back to you. “Hey, are you all right?” You ask, but only get a labored groan back.
You hear another roar come from behind you and turn around. There’s nothing down the long corridor. Suddenly you feel something grab you. You look down and see the boy has grabbed on to you.
“Help mmmeee,” the boy grunts, but all you do is scream and pull away. The boy’s face is covered in hair and his nostrils are wide across his face. His lips are thick and his ears are pointed and growing straight out from his head. He hangs on as you try and pull away, but you shake him loose.
He hits the ground and moans. It becomes a deep bellow as the back of his briefs tear open and a thick piece of flesh grows out from above his rear. He bellows again and this time his face pushes out slightly causing his upper lip to meld with his nose.
