Eliza:

It has been two or three weeks since I ran into those boys. I learned from the griver that we were put into this maze to find the way out so that a cure could be found. The creature also told me that I am their mistress and that my job was to make it as hard for those boys as I could to get out of the maze. Even after it told me that I still felt like that wasn’t what I was really meant to do. After that day the creature had left and said that it would come again if I needed it and since then I hadn’t seen it.

My food supplies had run out about two days ago and I have begun to get hungry and weak. My legs felt weak and sore anytime that I would walk and my stomach was in a constant state of hunger and nauseous. My head felt like someone was inside with a jackhammer banging away all day. I would try to rest but found that most times I was unable to fall asleep. I knew that I wasn’t going to last much longer. Even though this I still continued my search through the maze. I still haven’t found an exit but each day I feel like I’m getting closer and closer.

I was walking through the maze stumbling. My hand rubbing against the course wall. My fingers bumping up and down against every grove.

My vision was getting worse. There was a black ring around everything and I was finding it hard to keep my eyes open.

I shook my head, trying to keep my eyes open and keep walking. I didn’t make it much farther when I fell to the ground. My knees hitting the ground with so much force it sent an echo through the maze. I tried to stand but fell again this time banging my head on the ground. It sent a new flurry of black in my vision. I tried to move but my body refused to open me. I guess this is what I get from running from those boys. I closed my eyes and just let my body lying there on the ground.

I don’t know how long I have been there but I could tell I wasn’t getting up. If I believe that, I would be fooling myself. My vision was completely gone and I was losing all feeling in my body. I tried to stay awake but it was battle I knew I wasn’t going to win.

I closed my eyes and welcomed the darkness with open arms.

There was nothing else for me here. There wasn’t anything for me in the first place.

This was the end.
