It was a dark day, when Xevi showed up for his daily job, trying to get out of the maze that surrounded them. He received a text from his mom that read "love you <3" He packed up for the day and ran out, when it was about noon, he heard something around the corner. And there it was. The Collector. He had been studying this creature since he got in this place. It seemed to be dead, but as soon as he touched it, he felt a strong pain, he immediately ran back to the Center. He only made it just a few feet inside before it went black. The Changing had only been performed once, so they weren't sure what to do with him. Last thing he remembered, he was running for the Door, the forbidden door that only Baddy was allowed to open, the one that allowed them to escape. Baddy was the Creator of the place, no one had seen him and lived to tell the story.
He then collapsed. Weeks went by, the vines grew longer on Xevi until they consumed him. He woke up in a field, and saw a city. He realized he escaped. He had done it. But his family was still in there. Xevi had survived, but he left one thing in there.
His phone with the text.
so yeah they think I'm dead
