While I was walking towards the corner, it stopped flickering for whatever reason. This is an odd place, but I swear this corner wasnt behind Mark. I wonder how did it appear here. I came very close to the wall looking at the smugges. As I was about to touch it, the light fully broke. I screamed. "Are you okay?" Mark asked me, running towards me. "Yeah.. yeah I'm totally fine." I replied trying to stop him from going near. He grabbed me by my arm and pulled me close. Mark hugged me. Why did he hug me...? "What are you doing." I ask him. "Making sure you're okay." he replied. "It's fine I dont need your help."

 I move away from him. What a weirdo. I continued looking at the wall. My hand fully on it. "Wait a second. What if I rubb all this paint off." I ask, without hesitation I started rubbing the wall. Mark decided to make up a whole story while I was doing all the work and I didn't hear him. More colours started appearing. Can't belive he was stupid enough and never checked what  was actually on this wall. It showed a big arrow pointing into another corner, there was also a weird drawing with a door and on top saying "Enter".

"Oh my god we found a clue!" Mark says out loud all happy. "Yeah... "we" did..." I whisper. Fucking hell, how annoying is this guy, and why in the world am I stuck in this place! "Lets go this way" I say, going straight forward. How long was I gonna stay here, and how many hours has it been already? Feels like forever. 

For some reason it felt like the hall was getting longer and longer, its like this place knew I understood how to get out of here. There was definitely something wrong. I decided to blink a few times and rubbed  my eyes. Out of the sudden I heard my name. Mark shouted my name. But why did it sound so far. I turned to face back, he was not here. I was not here. Why am i in a different hallway. What just happened. "MARK?!" I shout back. "JENNY WHERE ARE YOU" Each word out of his mouth started going through my sides. It felt too loud and too quiet. Where was he. I blinked again. It was a different hallway. I got teleported. But that did not scare me that much. I looked a diferent direction again. Seeing Mark running towards me and hold my hand. I pushed him away as he shouted. "DON'T LET GO OF MY HAND!" I blinked again. He dissappeared. No wait i dissapeared i was in a new hallway again. "THIS MAZE IS KEEPING US APART!" He shouts out of no where. "YEAH I REALIZED MARK" Awkward conversation. "STAY STILL  I'LL TRY FINDING YOU JENNY" Mark shouts, this time his voice felt very far but yet so close. I didnt listen, I decided running random directions. Why was I here again?...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been running for minutes now, going different directions each time, it was getting annoying. Exactly how Mark have told me, the reason why he never stopped running. Aww... Mark.. Now that i think about it he does seem sweet at the same time. I don't know why there is so much negativity in my mind....He is so.. so.. WAIT WHAT... EW  STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT.

 There was so many ways you could go and check, but it feels like non of them have an ending. Everything is a loop. Althrough i do have a tiny suspicionce about Mark... How does he know what to do, what if he is just playing dumb for me to figure out his puzzles. What if this is all a prank but for some reason I can't remember a thing. Did they poison me for this prank? If so who did and why. What if all my thoughts are wrong and instead this is all a glitch, or what if he is the so called "Creator"... My brain are starting to melt from all of the questions. He is too calm, too free, too relaxed. Like this is normal for him. No human being on earth would want to stay here for a long time without trying out new things. This is just dumb.

I do not trust him.

I stopped. Mark was in one of the long hallways. He was just standing there. "Ayee i found you! Didn't you say you were gonna run to tryin' find me?" I asked him in a judgy way. He didnt move a muscle. That was not so human like... "Mark?! are you okay?" i asked again... less judgemental. "HUH WHAT DID YOU SAY I CANT HEAR YOU?" Somewhere from far I heard Marks voice... But the person who was infront... did not move.. That thing cracked its head open and looked at me. That was not Mark. That wasnt even a human being, I dont even know what it was, but I started sprinting for my soul. What in the name of all that's lovely is that. 

As I was about to reach the end of the hallway, that thing pushed me on the floor crawled on top of. I could see it more properly. The monster had grey skin and death dead eyes staring through my soul. It rawled at me and opened their mouth. There was spikes inside, were those suppossed to be teeth? FUCK THAT. I punched him away and he fell on his back,  His eyes was like a skull. A skull with a mouth that had a giant tounge. As he was about to jump on me again I sprinted faster then ever. That thing tripped me over again. I fell on the ground smashing my chin into the floor. That bloody hurt. It began to bite my shoe so I kicked him away and blinked. I was teleported again to a different hall. But I steal heard the thing grawling at me, searching for my smell, waiting to bite me again. I stood up looking around again. I need to find Mark at this point. Because this better not get any fucking worse.
