Games Maze Runner Novels & Stories

It made no sense. “What exactly is the game about please?”, I found myself asking the mascot. “Choose your weapon” “Uhhm, give me a gun or something?”. There were a bunch of guns and I had to select a double piece short gun. After that, I was shown two eyes and a timer appeared set for twenty four hours. The front door creaked and I knew dad was home. I tossed my phone away and went to see him. “Welcome home!”, I called out with a smile at the rails.

The vine retracts slowly, and my blood runs cold. “He’s not playing by the same rules,” I whisper. “Of course I’m not,” Dax says, shrugging. “I’m still in the Game.” Then he steps into the maze, and the thorns part for him. Therin curses viciously. “That’s not fair.” “No,” Elyra says darkly. “It isn’t.” She turns to me. “Aria, listen. We need a plan. This maze will sense movement. Emotion. Blood. Even breath too close to the wrong thorn could…”

Instead, a tall maze of steel and vines stood at the center, stretching into the trees beyond. A trial of instinct and survival. The rules were simple. Find your way out before sundown. No weapons. No help. The catch? You weren’t alone in the maze. Mara touched my arm before I stepped forward. “This isn’t about speed. It’s about endurance.” I nodded, tightening my ponytail. “I’ve got both.” She smiled. “Then go show them what a rogue can do.” I entered the maze last. The second I stepped in, the shadows swallowed everything. The air was thicker here, laced with magic or memory—I couldn’t tell.

“All of us have to earn our places. No shortcuts.” “But…” I blinked. “Do I have to do the empathy maze? Because I’m very empathetic, I think. Like, yesterday I cried watching a pigeon limp across the courtyard.” Dee chuckled. “Then you’ll do just fine. But yes, empathy maze, obstacle course, and a magical background scan.” My mind spun. “What does the scan do? Will it detect fallen angel energy? Will it break the machine? What if I accidentally explode something?” “Then,” Riven said dryly, “you’ll look very impressive.”

“Left seems safest. Minimal fire, fewer sensors. But it’s a gamble. She’s designed this like a puzzle every wrong turn triggers consequences.” Marcus moved forward mechanically, scanning ahead, every muscle coiled. Liam stayed at the rear, protecting our backs. I realized, in that moment, that no one could protect me from her mind the mind that had orchestrated this inferno, this maze, this game. The left corridor narrowed, forcing us into a single file. I led, flash drive clutched tightly, aware that one misstep could trigger a hidden mechanism, a trap, or worse. The walls seemed to close in, the heat pressing against my skin, sweat dripping down my forehead.

Larry pulled Liam and ran into the mirror maze house. Liam was afraid, "Larry, we have never been to this maze house and we don't know the way." "Don't worry, all the mazes have one way to exit. Just trust me and follow me." Larry went into the maze confidently with his left hand touching the wall. ***** Ruby felt like her heart was almost beating when she heard the dozen sounds of gunshots. When they reached to the control center, they saw that the room was in a mess and a lifeless body in front of the cabinet but they didn't saw their boys.

Rose took a deep breath, clutching her ribs—where I knew she must be in pain—before stepping into the maze. The second they crossed the entrance, the timer began. Laser beams activated just a few steps in. The sensors were set to react instantly. Rose moved first—sliding past the first beam, then expertly vaulting over the second. A sharp wince flickered across her face as she twisted between two beams without warning. Before she could fully recover, she dropped into a slide beneath four consecutive beams—the final obstacle. Seconds later, her team caught up. They stood before the red door.
