My first short story
I hate mazes
By Nicholas Wileman
I hate mazes be it corn mazes during the autumn or a computer game hell I can’t even do a maze on a piece of paper without a sense of dread and nausea overtaking me. But the worst by far are fun houses I can never get even close to one without having a panic attack. You may be asking what could possibly be so bad about a simple maze well it all started when I was in high school. My junior year me and my family moved into a small town which made it the third time I had to move to a new school within two years so I was forever the new kid. Given my situation I always had a hard time making friends but I got lucky here and found a group of outcast of myself. There was Sam the George Michaels look alike and the only openly gay guy in school Billy the hardcore punk with his neon green mohawk Sarah our resident bookworm Who We refer to as your big sister not only because she was a year old older than the rest of us and probably one of the most sense then there was Kitty a pretty redhead that I fell for almost as soon as I met her. There I was the new kid no friends no reputation but one day during lunch out of nowhere Sam came up to me and invited me to sit with them and quickly we all became friends. One Friday night during that October we all decide to go to the movies to see some generic gorefest slasher movie. Afterward we all went to today local pizza place to discuss the movie.” Man those effects were awesome” Billy our resident gorehound said totally hyped up from the movie we just saw.” Story really suck though” Sarah said not even looking up from the book she brought with her.” Why do we have to go see something so scary?” Kitty said with a pouty face.” Probably cuz the rest of us aren’t afraid of silly movies” Sam tease her leading to Kitty punching him in the arm which probably hurts him more than he let on.” Shut up it was really scary okay?!” Kitty protested. “ oh leave her alone” I said I was glowing at the time due to the fact that I was sitting next to Kitty during the movie and she turned and buried her face into my arm whenever something scary came on the movie I was sure at the time that Sam was trying to play matchmaker since he’s the one that had her sit next to me.” Of course yeah it wasn’t really that scary” I have already heard War Stories from my grandfather that has given me worst school nightmares than anyting that any movie can ever come up with.” Oh you want to hear scary?” Sam asked with a Sly look on his face. “ oh, you’re not going to tell that stupid story again are you?” Sarah asked exacerbated look on her face.” Yeah man we heard that story a million and two times”.” What in the hell are you guys talking about?” I asked.” You know that abandoned theme park outside of town?” Sam asked I nodded my family had passed by it when we moved into town” well about 30 years ago kids started to disappear near the park. After the fourth kid rumors start spread around town that the owner of the park was kidnapping the kids and doing some sort of weird sacrifices to Satan but nothing could be proven. Then one of the body’s turned up right outside of the park in a Shallow Grave soon two more of the body’s
turned up in similar fashions but the forth never turned up. Eventually the owner of the park was arrested and taking it in for questioning. After a while he confessed to the killings but refuse to tell anybody where the last body hidden even when he was about to be executed he refused to tell. The park was shut down do to the story giving the Park a certain stigma to it some go adventuring there out of morbid since it is said that the body is still hidden somewhere in the park some say the ghost of the child can be seen floating around sometimes.” Sam Finish the story with a devious smile” Bulshit” I exclaimed” one there’s no way that’s true and two there’s no way that’s true” Sarah decided to chime in at this point” well it’s at least partly true there was a series of disappearances and the Park’s owner was arrested and convicted of the murders and it is true that one body was never found the rest of the story is just speculation” she said in a matter of fact tone.” Oh come on do we really have to talk about this right now?” Kitty whined. That’s when I noticed Billy and Sam Trading mischievious looks “ well if you think our little town Legend is bullshit you wouldn’t mind proving it” Billy said now if the same smile that Sam had” and what pray tell do you have in mind?” I replied back snarkily” oh nothing much just take a little Excursion to the theme park” replied Sam” oh hell no I’m not going there!” Kitty said a little louder than she should have” that place it’s supposed to be really dangerous not to mention terrifying!” at this point she had the whole restaurants staring at us.” A little louder kitty cat I don’t think they heard you in the next County” Sarah chimed in abandoning her book realizing it was fruitless to try to read with us arguing” so are you in or are you out?” Billy asked him and Sam now both smiling at me as in them trying to challenge me.
5 minutes later all of us piled back into Sam’s car on our way out of town Sarah was particularly annoyed due to Kitty begging her to come with us cuz she didn’t want walk home alone but at the same time she didn’t want to be without her best friend going to the scariest place in town.” I can’t believe this Macho bullshit you guys get yourselves caught up in” she said and that big sister tone of hers.” Come on stupidity is the spice of life” Billy said lighting up a cigarette” I really wish you wouldn’t smoke those around me” I said coughing” oh put on your big boy pants we’re almost there” Sam said pulling up to a chain link fence. We all piled out Sam took out a flashlight from his glove compartment he lit it up Shining Light on the various signs on the chained up gate that read “ keep out”” Danger” and” no trespassing”” how we supposed to get in Jump the fence?” Billy asked the only thing illuminated on him his lit cigarette” do you want to break your leg you dumbass? it’s like 15 feet high” Sarah asked still clearly annoyed from being forced to come along.” Come on let’s see if we can find a hole in the fence” Sam said walking along the fence pointing his flashlight at the foot of the fence for like the next 15 minutes we walked silently as we searched for any kind of hole we can squeeze through. Suddenly we just heard a loud Yelp followed by a fit of laughter we spin around and found out quickly what happened Billy grabbed Kitty it scared the bejesus out of her.” You’re such a fucking asshole Billy!” Kitty said on the verge of tears” dude cool it! We kind of forced her to be here so stop fucking with her!” I said I did feel bad for making her come along we could have brought her home before heading here but Sam and Billy were too amped up about coming here.” Hey guys check it out I think found a way in” Sam said ignoring the argument we were having he pointed his flashlight at a section of fence that looks like it already had a pair of wire cutters taken to it where we can easily squeeze in. After we each pass-through we started exploring it was the most Eerie thing I ever experienced from the abandon carnival games to the run down food stands to the rotten out rides it was like something out of a ghost story. Then we found it the source of my future trauma the funhouse. The place look like a strong Breeze to take it down the entrance was a mere ghost of what it used to be giant demented clown head that was now worn with splintered wood and faded paint. We stood there in awe what we were looking at when I got a sideways glance from Sam” I dare you to go in” he said” what?” I said blankley generally confused with what he just said to me.” I dare you to go in” he repeated” yeah man come on go in!” Billy said shoving me closer to the entrance causing me to almost fall to the ground” are you fucking nuts? This place looks like it can fall over at any minute” I said” come on don’t be a sissy” Sam said” I really rather not be stabbed by a meth addict” I said defensively. That’s when Sam put his arm around my shoulder and Billy put his arm around my other shoulder and Sam said quietly so the girls couldn’t hear us” you know” he said with that Sly smile again” doing this could really impress Kitty.” He knew just what buttons to push” at least give me the fucking flashlight” I said begrudgingly with a big smile he handed me the flashlight.” I can’t believe you’re doing this you moron” Sarah said what’s that tone that says I can’t believe I’m friends with these dumbasses” please be careful” Kitty said with a worried tone in her voice.
I walk through the big creepy clown mouth entrance and immediately my nostrils were assaulted with the smell a piss vomit and what I can only presume a dead and rotten animal. Shining a flashlight around the room to survey the extent of the damage age has brought about on the place whatever mirrors weren’t broken they were either so dirty you can’t see yourself or covered in graffiti. On the floor it was a few empty beer bottles some spray paint cans cigarette and marijuana butts and some dirty needles this was clearly a place people came to do things out of sight of the law. After a few minutes I was about to turn around and leave when I heard it a small whimper so quiet that if there was any other noise going on I would have never heard it.” Hello?” I called out then listen and heard it again I started to towards the maze but I stopped just short thinking it’ll be really stupid to get lost in this place and have Billy and Sam come find me I just knew they would never let me hear the end of it. So I picked up couple of the paint cans the mark my way out and headed towards where I heard the sound. As I made my way through the maze I mean marks on the mirrors the let me know what way do you go to get out and that’s how it went for a while I’ll call out listen for to whimper made my way towards it and Mark my way. Then I found where the sound was coming from. At first I thought I was hit a dead end but tonight I noticed the sound was louder almost a full-on cry so I felt around the mirrors to see if any of them let away maintenance room but nothing moved. That’s when I noticed the floor looked weird. I move my hand across the floor until I found a hidden latch and pulled. I have no idea what I was more surprised bye the fact that I just found a hidden trapdoor in a run-down old Funhouse the fact that I found a little girl inside of it. I shined a flashlight on her face was covered in dirt where tracks from the tears running down her cheeks. She wore a tattered powder blue dress that was torn in various spots and was as dirty as her skin was.”h-hey kid how did you get down there?” she didn’t say anything just of terrified like I was about to hurt her
something.” Hey don’t worry I’m not going to do anything to you.” I realized too late how bad it sounded for me to say that out loud” here let me help you out” I held out my hand and smiled but the only thing she did it’s Retreat from it. At this point I was just exacerbated by the whole situation and I just wanted to get out of there” look up kid I’m sure your parents are worried about you and you look like you’re terrified so what do you say we just get out of here?” she thought it over for a moment and then nodded” okay so now we have that sorted can you walk?” she shook her head.” Well I guess I’m going to have to carry you then.” I said with a sigh I reach down in the hole and lift her out” thank you” she said softly when I lift her up to my chest which did cause me to smile a little bit it was at this point that I realized she was a bit lighter than she looked but I chalk it up to her being malnourished since I had no idea how long she was in there. So while carrying this girl I made my way back to the entrance all the time worrying that I’m going to run into some deranged drug addict that showed this poor girl into that trapdoor but I made it back to the entrance without incident. Before I left the building I could hear Sam laughing while Sarah was shouting” God damn it Billy will you give it a rest for fucksake!” apparently he was missing with Kitty again.” Sorry about my friends they can be a bit…. Intense.” I said to the girl with a chuckle. I guess at this point Billy realized that the flashlight was shining out of the entrance” damn man what the hell took you so long? we are about to leave your ass here!” he said the laughing about whatever he did that freaked out Kitty this time.” I found a kid” I responded tossing the flashlight back to Sam.” What?” Sarah said dumbfounded with what I just said” I found a kid” I repeated” she was stuck in this trapdo-“ I stopped in the middle of my sentence when I realized Sam was frozen in place with a terrified on his face I'm coming from the flashlight light I could see that the others had similar looks on your face Philly had the worst of with all the color in his face draining making his mohawk seem even brighter by comparison. Then Kitty just started screaming Sam start shaking uncontrollably Sarah covered her face to try as if she was trying to protect herself from something horrible.” what the hell is wrong with you guys?” that’s when I noticed it the smell of decay seem to follow me out of the Funhouse and then hesitantly I look down in in my arms there was the small mummified body of a child in a tattered blue dress.
