TREE I 

Dear Mohamed, I am mailing to remind you about the deadline which is 5 P.M, do not make a stupid action because the reaction will be harmful. 

Sincerely, 

Good morning, Benjamin; we must start our journey. This was the first sentence that I said since I saw this mail, Benjamin agreed with me, and we started first to hang out to find anything to eat because my cookies are sold out. We found a beautiful goat with white and black hair, and her knees were hurt by a small sharp knife, we ignored this goat, and we began looking for a small tree to rest on it after a lot of searching for something to eat, but we found something to drink, but the tree was not kind with us. We sat down on the grass and saw the cloudy sky, which was going to cry after a few hours. I lost my signal. How do I contact Benjamin? Oh, my leg is broken, my hand is fall of blood, you have lost your first friend after a few days you will lose something greater. Do you hear anything, Benjamin? Do you smell the cookies’ flavor? I think you must get up early to answer my questions. I got up and started to walk alone to find the cookies’ odor, and I arrived at a small old house with a tall tree written on it “Qb abg ragre.” I stood a minute, and my mind said, why not, let’s try. The time is passing, it is 9 AM, and I should find the way to obtain the golden key that I do not remember where I put it. 

TREE II 

Sometimes, you do not know where to separate your poison or just see the mercury in front of the golden fish. How about KKK? I entered the old house, and I found a dimly lit far from me, about 50 cm. the first step came with blood on my shoes, and my shirt was cut at the right arm, a terrible intro to my curiosity. I got out immediately and sat behind the tree and started to take oxygen; I found Benjamin coming from so far and raising his hand, which was covered by black color. I think it was the coal’s color. We met again, and he explained his disappearance for the last period. I understood what he said hardly because he was crying about what he saw. I told him about my first step inside the old house and what I noticed about the design surrounded by the KKK and the chair’s shape, a triangle with a red circle and blue rectangle. He said that he saw me from the window and he was shouting to make me hear him and get out ASAP, but I was busy achieving my curiosity. Also, he saw the thing that hurt me, but he could not explain it perfectly. He said that it was a female with curly hair, blue hair and her hand was more prominent than 30 cm. of course, I cannot use this information to detect the right person or the correct factor that hurt me, but I can use this information to shape a good idea about the second step. 

TREE III 

Let’s try Benjamin, but this time you are with me. We arrived at the door, and he saw the label on the tree and was shocked. I found a bronze token on the grass, but it was filled with water; we opened the door and put our second step. At that time, I saw the floor filled with millions of bronze tokens similar to what I had found outside. I was not surprised, but I started to think that it was a small maze growing by the milliseconds, like our life every morning among many puns and pies, Benjamin tried to understand what I described to him, but he could not. I found a blade covered by a binary label, and I put it in my socks. My phone’s signal returned again, and I received a new mail from the same unknown person. 

Dear Mohamed, 

I am mailing to remind you about the deadline which is 5 P.M, do not make a stupid action because the reaction will be harmful. 

Sincerely, 

I took Benjamin to get out to the tree to see what we must do now, and then we can go back. When we got out, the theme of the mail changed but not the content. First, the theme changed to a small text surrounded by small ice shapes; after a while, the theme changed to the photo of the bronze token. 

TREE IV 

I started to remember my apartment and its rooms; it was really similar to this old house, and all I have seen in this house I think I saw it before. I have a hat that is black in red. I saw a similar cap to it in one of the photos on the old house’s wall. Benjamin was really scared about the second step, and he started to tremble; I saw his eyes full of many words that describe the situation and what he saw before. Benjamin earlier was a kid who was afraid of everything, especially the people and the loud voice that he thought was a fight. In this minute, he remembers all of the above and starts to think about the dark side of himself. I was a student in secondary school, and I enjoyed the education and the computer and how it works and all the relating factors to computer science. But I do not think these memories will benefit me these days that I cannot count them. “Man, are you ready for the third step?” I think Benjamin has to rest for a few minutes, and I will enter like the first step. 

TREE V 

I am in front of the door now, and I see the dimly lit is closer than before. Is it the end? I twisted the handle and got in. I found that the bronze tokens changed with silver tokens but with the exact details as the old ones. I took one and put it in my socks beside the knife. I have entered a new room in the house; it was filled with gray cotton with a small hole in it. Something in my mind told me to put the new token in this hole; I agreed and put it and waited for what will happen then. My mobile’s battery is 10%, and I do not have a charger; after 3 minutes, the cotton disappears, and I found a golden key behind the ashes. Is this what I am looking for? Have I finished now? A lot of questions with one answer, that is, the dimly lit is disappeared. 

TREE VI 

I got out to see Benjamin and told him about what I had arrived at, but there was no Benjamin, and the old house disappeared after I got out. All the things surrounding me and all the grass disappeared except the trees, which surprised me a lot because I did not expect that. “Good morning, Mohamed, you did great work, and I hope to start with us, and the game was amazing” I woke up in a mail from my company that said the above. It was a project that I loved to make; I started to combine all the situations and events, and I figured out that “The Maze” is a game that I have made and put me as the main character to test the code source and bugs in the game, all the discretions of the room in the house are my actual room, and the female that hurt me is a real robot that I made to help me in small objects. Still, it had an error and beat me one day, in addition to Benjamin, he is not accurate, and he is my image in the past years when I was a child. All of the above was my presentation to my new game to the company that I wanted to get in, and by the end of the day, I got the acceptance mail, but this mail was without any warning.
