“Henry! Wait!”

Hurrying along the corridor, I desperately try to reach my brother. I don't know what's wrong with him, but he keeps waving at me in the distance and then running away, and I never quite manage to reach him. I swear, I feel like I'm doing the same thing over and over again. Looking around the corner, I see yet another long corridor, and then I spot Henry at the far end.

Wait, did this happen before?

No.

My head feels strange, like I'm getting a bad case of deja vu, but I can't let anything distract me.

“Can you just wait for me?” I shout. “Henry, what's happening? I don't understand!”

He waves for a moment longer, and then he once again runs out of sight.

Sighing, I take a step forward, and then I stop as I realize that I've been doing this for a while now. He's always going to the right, which means I must just be going round and round in circles. If I go back the way I just came, I might be able to sneak up on him and make him stop playing this dumb game. I pause for a moment, and then I turn.

And then I freeze.

The corridor is gone.

I just ran this way, but now there's nothing behind me except absolute darkness. I wait, trying to figure out what's happening, and then I notice that the darkness seems to be slowly coming this way, eating the corridor away as it advance toward me. Looking down, I see the floor starting to disintegrate in front of my feet, and I instinctively take a step back.

Wait, how do I have two feet?

I lost one a while ago.

Feeling a little dizzy, and warm too, I step back again. The darkness is still spreading, and I feel as if I could simply fall forward and vanish into the nothingness. For a few seconds that idea seems tempting, but then I remember seeing Henry and I turn and hurry toward the next corner. When I get there, I can't shake the feeling that somehow this particular corridor was a little shorter than the last. In fact, each corridor seems just a little less long than its predecessor, as if I'm running deeper and deeper into the heart of some kind of maze.

And all the time, the darkness is chasing me, threatening to swallow me up.

Suddenly I spot Henry at the corridor's farthest end.

“Stay there until I reach you!” I shout. “Henry! Wait!”

Hurrying along the corridor, I desperately try to reach my brother. I don't know what's wrong with him, but he keeps waving at me in the distance and then running away, and I never quite manage to reach him. I swear, I feel like I'm doing the same thing over and over again. Looking around the corner, I see yet another long corridor, and then I spot Henry at the far end.

Wait, did this happen before?

No.
