Take a right


Take a left


Take a right


Take a left


Take a right


Take a left



You stand in place

The buzz is above you

The buzz is behind you

The room splits

A fork in the yellow

In the yellow

In the yellow


There's a right turn up ahead


There's a left turn up ahead


A left turn behind you


A right turn behind you


You think about turning around

A complete one hundred and eighty degrees

But


The right will look left


The left will look right


Only the buzzing would remain

Only the buzzing would remain true


And then what?


At least it would be something different than what you've been doing


It would be retracing steps


Or have you actually been stepping?


You have been moving in one direction this whole time


Or has the rooms been moving?

And you have just been

Floating

Forward

As the buzz shifts



You close your eyes

You try to think

Past the buzz

Past the dust and musk

And dust and musk

And dust and musk and


You are better than this, Twilight

You are a clever unicorn

You've been through tougher situations

Crazier straits

More chaotic labyrinths

Think about your friends

Imagine that they're stuck here with you

What wouldn't you do for them?

Wouldn't you get them out as well?

Wouldn't you work your hardest?


You really

Really

Shouldn't have closed your eyes

Silly pony


A gasp

Your eyes flash open

Dust and musk

Mildew and yellow

A narrow corridor with mildew and mildew and

There's a fork

A right turn

A left turn



But which is right?


And which is left?


Only the buzz remains

Bright lights

Fluorescent and following



Silly pony


Must keep going

Just make a turn


Any old turn?


You do so

With

Your eyes closed

The buzz shifts

And it's just like floating
