Hedge Maze

Surveying the garden area, Mackenzie was entranced by the eerie fog and lush greens all around her. She felt herself being drawn towards the hedge maze in particular. Her curious mind already liking the idea of a dark and spooky maze, she headed towards the maze's entrance.

When Mackenzie walked past the fountain, she was startled by the sound of a sudden splash. She whipped her head towards the pool of murky water and jumped backwards slightly, narrowly avoiding backing into a nearby cactus. Maybe it was just a trick of the dim lighting but Mackenzie could've sworn she saw something dip underneath the surface as she had spun.

Mackenzie sighed with relief before chuckling to herself. The haunted house was already beginning to deliver on its promise of scares for the day. Eager to see what else was in store, the redhead resumed her stroll over to the maze entrance. With a deep breath, stifling both nerves and excitement, Mackenzie entered the hedge maze, not noticing the thread trailing behind her.

Her earlier brush with the cactus spikes had been a bit closer than she'd realized and the bottom edge of her dress had not been so lucky. The dress's hem had gotten impaled on the prickly cactus, and stayed in place when Mackenzie walked away. Now, Mackenzie's lovely blue knee-length dress was slowly but surely unraveling!

Oblivious to her predicament, Mackenzie decided to head left at the first intersection.
