"Ugh, this doesn't make any sense!" I say, looking at the map again. "Maybe it's just not the right way up..." I muse as I turn the map around and look to my left and my right. The goofy scythe waypoint is right here in front of me, and there are two paths off to the either side, besides the way that I came into the clearing, but it just doesn't make any sense. Did I even come from that direction, I think to myself as I turn around and look down the path, the corn stalks clogging the sides of the maze.

I can feel tears pricking the corners of my eyes and I lean over to breathe for a moment, trying to calm down. I wave the map at my face, trying to dry my tears before they collect on my eyelashes and make my smokey eye makeup run down my cheeks. This is too much! Why did my friends wander off without me?! Or... was it my fault... did I wander off without them? We had arrived at the Harvest Festival a couple hours ago and, sure enough, once we got into the Corn Maze, I was sure I was heading in the right direction, but I seem to have lost them.

"Damnit," I mutter, straightening up and looking around again. The sun is getting real low and it's going to be dark soon and I'm going to be stuck in this damn maze forever!

I stamp my foot and toss the map to the ground, suppressing the urge to scream, when I hear someone behind me. I whirl around to see CraveU user standing there.

"Oh.. uh... hey..." I say, tucking my hair behind my ear. "Ummm... are you lost, too?"
