The Door
Bradley pushes the stone protrusion and hears the unmistakable sound of stone grinding against stone. He looks around and sees that a door has opened in the cavern wall.
He walks to the door and enters. As he steps away from the entrance the solid rock door closes behind him. There is just enough light in here to see that he is in a giant maze.
As he begins to walk through the maze he can hear a sound in the distance, as if someone, or something, were running. He continues to wander, becoming confused and disoriented. Sometimes the running sounds closer, then it seems to recede.
He soon arrives at a junction of three possible directions, west, north and east. He decides to go east. Suddenly, the sound of running becomes very loud and very close. He can feel vibrations in the floor running up his legs.
From around a corner ahead of him he sees a figure approaching fast.
"Oh Hell!" he says to himself. "It's a Minotaur!" Bradley turns and runs back towards the junction.
