One

  • I have no doubt that I had lost my child that day. I had followed it to the inside of this house. Yes it was just this house.
  • You remember something.
  • My brother had taken the child without telling me and he had taken it to one of the corridors of this house to play.
  • So, you can remember that you have a child and a brother.
  • Yes I have a child and a brother. I remember the day my child had been lost and this house of course.
  • What else you can review?
  • The thing which is currently very important and had caused me dizziness is that I have been at this house and I know that the beginning and end of these corridors are not clear.

The woman told this and took one step back. The man said: “So, we’d better return to the yard.”

  • I am almost certain that we cannot find the exit way through this maze.
