"Come on Lorenzo!" Little Timmy Myers yelled to his older brother Lorenzo Myers as he ran towards the corn maze, excitement and joy filled the young child's eyes to the brim.

"Tim, slow down!" Lorenzo shouted, running to ketch up with his younger brother if 7 years, Lorenzo 16.

The two reached the start of the corn maze, the wind blowing the long tall stocks of corn to the east, cold nipping at the two boys faces, the sound of rustling corn leaves making a satisfying sound, the cloudy gray sky making the earth look like the underworld, rows of dead corn that went on for miles and miles stood tall in front of the two boys.

"Ok, we're going in, but stay with me, ok?" Lorenzo stayed to his little brother.

"Ok!" Timmy hoped up and down in excitement.

The two walked into the corn maze, Timmy running a little ahead but not to far, playing in his own fantasy land, Lorenzo stayed back, thinking to himself. Something felt wrong, he could feel it. In the pit of his stomach, like a hand grabbing his organs and pulling him in the opposite direction.

"Hey Tim, mabey we should go back." Lorenzo yelled as his brother turned a corner.

There was a scream, Timmy's scream. Lorenzo ran after Timmy, running towards were the scream had come from. "Timmy! Timmy where are you?!" Loranzo began going farther into the maze, looking for his brother, fear building up inside if his heart minute by minute. He turned right, than left, than went straight, going in every way, the corn seemed to be consuming him, his head felt full and congested, his sight was bluring, his balance bad because of the dizziness he felt. "Timmy! Timmy!" He said, panic in his voice, tears trickling down his face.

Little by little the sun sank, the corn field became dark and dark shadows cast on the ground from the tall stocks. Lorenzo was exhausted, he had been in the maze for hours, it was completely dark outside.

Lorenzo soon came to a big round opening in the middle of the maze, but as he walked to the middle of the circle his eyes widened with horror and his moth dropped open. There, in the middle of the corn field was Timmy's lifeless body, his throat slit and his tongue cut out. And underneath Timms corps, lay a hundred more bodies just like his, Lorenzo gasped.

He tried to run, but he was way to dizzy and weak to. Lorenzo fell to the ground, looking up he could see a sign that said 'Junk yard for bodies, you dump, we eat.' Lorenzo looked at the sing in fear. Than, a bunch of people came out of the corn, some adults, some children. They walked up to Lorenzo, a man walked up to him with a butchers knife in hand and a bag of bread in the other. The man apeard to be chewing on something, he spit it out onto the ground, revealing Timmy's missing tongue. the man gave Lorenzoa look and a sinister smile and said in a deep voice."This one looks good raw, it's eaten time."

With this all the people, adults and children charged over to Lorenzo, the man with the butchers knife started cutting Loranzo up limb by limb. All that could be heard that night was the desperate pained wails of Lorenzo being cut up and eaten alive.
