After exploring the maze for a total of about five minutes, I had already given up. The place was just too damn big. If it weren't for my footprints on the floor of sand, I would've already been lost, unable to even find the entrance.
No matter how many turns I made, the maze just seemed to go on forever. In those short five minutes, I had already ran into eight dead ends, not to mention all the paths that I marked but hadn't full explored yet.
"There's no way… how the hell do I get through?" I muttered in frustration to myself, now back at the entrance of the maze.
I thought back to the signs I had read on the way here.
"Common sense is a fool's master."
"The counterpart of deception is not truth - it is more deception."
"Do not let the shackles of reality chain you down."
