Plot- There is a group of people that were out in a maze. This maze is filled with monsters and traps. The only way out is the exit. Some people will choose to risk death and leave the maze but others will choose to live in the center of the maze in fear.

This was the setting of the story.

Setting

The setting is a giant maze with a square in the middle. This square is were the people are put to start. The only way out is to go through but there are monsters and traps around every corner. The only way out is a door hidden in the maze.

I chose this image to depict some of the monsters shown in the story.

I rate this a 4.8 out of 5. It was a very cool setting and an interesting plot. Despite these things I think that there are certain plot lines that could have been more relevant or touched on. Also there were certain scenes or pages that could have been trimmed down a little and still have gotten the same effect.

This work is truly spectacular it shows your creativity and capability as an author. The way you vividly described the setting and monsters was top notch. The way you weaved the relationships of the characters with the fact of joint danger is very interesting to read. Also you did a very good job at making a story full of plot instead of just pointless death and scares. Overall you are an amazing author who will undoubtedly make many great works to come.

The author believes that good isn't black or white.

This means you have to look at things deeply to determine what is right and wrong.

God gives us the power to do this with the Bible but even with this it isn't always easy to determine right from wrong so we should confront God with our prayers and requests for knowledge.
