Day Eight: Terrifying Expedition With Friends
Haha... I'm no good at "scary." Seriously. So... I'm gonna go for a simple corn maze!
**And even then, they're just... Waiting in line. Sorry.**
"That's... Comforting."
Varian's words made Cassandra, Rapunzel, and Eugene turn around suddenly.
"What?"
Varian pointed at a large sign sitting just outside the entrance.
Attention!
If you become lost or confused in the corn maze, stay calm! Don't panic, help is on the way. Every Thursday morning we send a rescue team into the maze to bring out everyone left from the previous weekend. They are highly trained and can usually locate over two-thirds of those left behind.
Cass snorted. "I think they're just joking, Varian."
"Still," he retorted, "that... It doesn't make it any less terrifying."
"C'mon, kid," Eugene said, ruffling Varian's hair, "it's just corn."
Varian pouted. "That stuff's several feet higher up than I am, and it's abundant."
Plus, it was actually taller than the others, too, which... Honestly didn't assure him.
Cassandra took his hand in hers, gently squeezing it. He smiled up at her.
"Alright. I... I guess I'm ready."
