Story 318: The Labyrinth Beckons

The map on the console flickered, its ancient technology humming faintly. Zara squinted at the holographic display, which revealed a sprawling network of interconnected chambers. The spiraling glyph was marked at the very heart of the labyrinth, glowing ominously like a beacon of dread.

“This place goes deeper than I thought,” Zara murmured, tracing the path with her finger. “The glyph is here—in the central chamber.”

Callum leaned in, his jaw tightening. “And you think it’s worth risking all of us to find it? That thing back there nearly fried your brain, Zara.”

“I know the risks,” she shot back. “But whatever’s down there is the key to understanding who’s behind these experiments. If we turn back now, we’ll stay blind—and we’ll die blind.”

The team exchanged uneasy glances. Mia, ever the skeptic, crossed her arms. “And what if this is a trap? That... creature could’ve been leading us straight to our graves.”
