You turn to your left, making your way down the path before you can doubt yourself.

You follow the path to your left with renewed haste. The minutes trickling by make it all the more apparent how exhausting this place is... if this maze is really alive, why is it allowing you to progress at all? There may not even be a way out of this place! The thought makes you start to panic, which only urges you to go faster...

You practically stumble out into yet another clearing. A quick look around confirms it is the same place you started - how are there so many paths back here?! The hedge has already closed behind you before you can even think to backtrack.
