Dream Thread

Maybe something was calling me back or an irrational childhood fear. Left, Right? There was no way out. Maybe I should listen to the calling, to go back. But what if that was a mistake? What if it's not? I continued on anyway. Through this metal hell hole.
    Exit, exit, exit
    That was the word running through my mind.
    It was not the fact that I was trapped in an underwater maze, it was the fact that I was completely and utterly alone. No one with me. No one to guide me. No one to help me through my problems. My childhood fear. Abandonment
    I began to grow weary and tired. My feet could've given out at any moment, so I decided to stop. I used that time not only to calm myself down, but to think.
    Hold on, I thought. Maybe what I need to find isn't the exit, it's a flaw. Maybe it's not. There could be something to stop this never ending process, this game. 
    Whatever it was, I was going to find it.
    I stood up and trudged on. I now had hope that I had the answer. I picked up my pace and decided to try to not find the entrance or exit. What was I looking for? I do not know. All I knew was whatever it was had to be in this maze.
    "Hey, Sweetie."
    Who was that?
    "Over here!"
    I quickly turned my body around to face the direction that the voice was coming from. The voice was not a comforting voice, more like an old man's voice, all raspy and hoarse. The voice was not what frightened me, it was the fact that he was not there.
    I spun around several more times to see if he was anywhere else. No, he wasn't.
    "Sweetie, I'm afraid your stuck here with me till the cows come home," The man, voice, let out a horrific cry of laughter that sounded like he was dying. "There's no way out!"
    The laughter was never ceasing and growing louder. I bent down in a squat and landed on my bottom. My head was between by legs and my arms were squeezing them together. The sound. The horror.
The only thing I knew: I was in a maze and every time I made it to the exit, I would reappear somewhere, lost in this underwater maze.
