Friday Fictioneers: The Maze
It looked easy. All I had to do was walk the maze to the hut and get the charm.
But things are never that easy.
I stepped into the maze and it change into something worse than Alice’s Wonderland maze.
It came alive and grew to twice my height. It blocked my way. Vines reached out to grab me and pull me into the hedge. It didn’t take long for me to become hopelessly lost.
If I failed, my brother would die, the kingdom would be lost, and it would be entirely my fault.
That’s why I brought a chainsaw.
The End

Loved the last line – he/she certainly came prepared! I haven’t seen that clever solution in any fairy tales before 🙂
I was thinking of you when I wrote that last line. ;0)
As for your last line: I should let you influence me more often.
Dear Mythrider, You are BRILLIANT and must be a BOY SCOUT because you came prepared for everything. What a great story and superb ending! Very enjoyable! Nan
I wasn’t a boy scout, but I was a girl scout. Thanks for the great compliment.
Love the ending humor. I truly Laughed-Out-Loud (LOL).
Mike, thanks for the LOL. ;0)
SCARY! ( but well written)
Not if you carry the right equipment. :0)

Thanks.
That last line took the cake!
Thanks. ;0)
