I Went To One Of Those Extreme Haunted Houses, But Something Went Horribly, Horribly Wrong
“I won’t lose you.” I looked around. “Maybe we should head towards the screams. That’s where the other people are.” I didn’t sound reassuring, but it was the best I could do in our situation.
“Are you crazy!?” “I’m not getting cut in half!!!” Said Jade.
“Oh, so you’re planning to fight the killer off chainsaw and all since we’re staying here?”
I know, I sounded like a dick, but this really wasn’t the time to be arguing with Jade.
“Well…I…” said Jade, probably realizing I was right.
“Right. We stay together and find the crowd…use them for cover.” I said.
“But if they are screaming, doesn’t that mean that they are in trouble too?
“We just need to get close enough to someone else in this damned maze to make sure neither of us are the killer’s next victim.” I looked at the ground. “When the killer attacks someone else, that is when we will make a break for it, okay!?”
Jade looked me with large sorrowful eyes “What about everyone else?”
“After seeing what just happened.. Jade, It’s every man for himself. Trust me on this one…”
Jade squeezed my arm. “Just don’t let me go.”
“I won’t.”
It was scary enough seeing the man that was cut in half, but I was able to convince myself that he was an isolated incident…then we walked past 5 or 6 more. The bodies that we passed as we made our way through erased any trace of that idea…I realized we were in a bad place.
Also, it seemed that I was so caught up talking, I had failed to pay attention to where I was walking. I had no idea where we were, or where we were headed. I was also partly distracted with the thoughts running through my head…and partly with what we were seeing as we wandered the maze. Luckily the corn maze wasn’t big enough to be terribly difficult to navigate.
Jade opened her eyes. “We’re lost aren’t we?”
I thought it was strange she didn’t keep her eyes open, although I couldn’t blame her for not wanting to see the gruesome picture this maniac painted. The killer seemed to be going for quantity, not quality. Even though I only saw only 6 of the killer’s sloppy kills on the maze paths. I could only imagine what it looked like in the tall stalks.
“Lost? No…Well kinda…I mean I was…thinking.” I said.
