"Newt!" a boy who was supposedly named Louis shouted. Newt was limping towards the homestead.

"Newt! What's wrong?" I asked.

"I hated the Maze! The Glade? I hated it more than ever!" blurted Newt.

"For almost a year, I had to endure the hardships. I wanted to die! That was all I wanted! Living wouldn't do any good to me," he cried.

"Newt, it's okay," I said.

"Newt, you should have told us earlier. We wouldn't have made it hard for you," Louis said.

"I don't care about what is going to happen! I rather die! Just kill me!" he said.

"Newt, lets go to Frypan and get our breakfast," I said.

Ringgggggg

Today was the day. The day where a newbie comes.

This time, a tall, pale and scrawny boy arrived. He stared at as though he had seen a ghost or more like is seeing a ghost. Alby, as the new leader, greeted him like Ed would do.

Ed.

The boy said his name was Ben.

"Hey, since the Box is still here, why don't we try to escape by getting into the Box. Maybe it would take us down?" said Louis.

"What if it doesn't work?" said another boy.

"I will volunteer, then," Louis said bravely.

Alby hoisted Ben up to the Glade while Louis jumped down into the Box. We waited for about five minutes but nothing happened. Louis also got tired from standing and waiting so he sat down. He sighed and climbed back to the Glade in shame.

"Great job Louis. You just wasted our time," smirked a boy.

Louis was named after Louis Pasteur, the french chemist.
