at the bronze doors, trying to choose. The uncertainty of visitors is one of my

"It's easy to get lost," I said helpfully. "This can be a
sinister place." The sun glared at me through the gateway.
Something was
ringing behind one of the doors. They spent some time trying to decide which
door it was, not understanding that the silences of the Maze are as eloquent as
the sounds.
"Decisions, decisions," one said. "Too many decisions."
"The
story of my life," said another.
"We don't want to be late," said a third,
opening one of the doors.
"Nary a soul to be seen," said the first, peering
into the gloom.
I waited patiently for them to choose which was to go ...
into...
...room 20.
...room 26.
...room 41.
...room 21.
