Their serpentine roots spread all throughout the area, and ensured the trees would never get torn out of the ground. There was also a vast amount of flora to be seen, from tall stalks of grass to huge leafy bushes to mushrooms to vines to moss to wildflowers… you name it. “Do you all see the size of that insect?” asked Miko. “It‘s the size of my head.” She pointed to a dozen or so thin, spindly mosquito-like insects a half dozen meters away.

Feeling invigorated, my pace quickened under the moonlight and I ran blindly until suddenly, something snapped on impact with my feet and I heard a squeaking noise. I didn't bother to turn back to see what it was, it just made me move faster, until suddenly, I was hoisted up in a net. “Who the fuck leaves a net in the middle of the woods?” I couldn't help shouting.

I tilted my head back and howled, for the first time in my life I feel normal, welcomed, and like I finally found where I belong. The others howled as well, giving thanks to the moon goddess.

AS WE WALKED, DIFFERENT types of Invent’s and my creatures scurried under our feet. They were monstrous creatures that were part human, animal, and machine. They use the maze to travel to the outside. I even once tried to follow them and use their exit. The second I got within a couple of feet of the tunnels, they went in and out; they attacked me.

We killed it with flour and honesty. They want rugs.” She looked as if she would enjoy apologizing to no one.

I need to get out of here now. Outside, the night air is heavy. I head straight for the far end of the school grounds where an old plot of land lies forgotten.
