Malcolm had a bad feeling about this hedge maze before he even entered it. He doesn’t have an explanation as to why he did it, other than that he felt called to explore the maze. After turning around several corners, he’s well and truly lost. He comes to a dead end where he sees a man wearing a while prison jumpsuit and tan cardigan standing back near the wall of shrubbery. Instantly, Malcolm’s blood runs cold. “No,” he says out loud. “No..” The other man grins wide at him, his eyes glinting maniacally. “My boy! Isn’t it a lovely evening? It’s been so long since I’ve seen bushes.” He laughs. “Isn’t it funny the things you miss when you’re locked in a cell for twenty years?” “No!” Malcolm yells at him as he points a shaking finger. “You’re not here. You’re not real.” “Oh, I’m very much here and very much real,” his father answers, moving slowly towards him. “I’m so glad to be free finally. I can already tell that I’m going to have a lot of fun here, but first, you and I have some business we need to handle.” There’s a glint of something metal down by Martin’s hand. Malcolm quickly realizes that it’s not the reflection of a handcuff, but a scalpel that his father is holding down at his side. “I can’t let you go telling everyone what I am, Malcolm,” Martin says, a note of sadness in his voice. “How unfortunate. There was still so much I had to teach you.” With a flash, he raises the scalpel and comes charging at Malcolm. There are few things that Malcolm is afraid of, but his serial killer father on the loose with a weapon is absolutely terrifying. Screaming, Malcolm turns tail and runs, blindly trying to make his way out of the maze and hoping that he doesn’t run into a dead end instead. |
