A suited man stood before Eve, his head tilted to the side.
"Why am I here?" she asked.
He did not answer.
His head and body twitched, and his back was turned to her.
His whole form flickered, and he was gone.
Eve decided to walk. To either side were low brick walls. Above, she could see the night sky; below, black branches and leaves, slick with rain, crunched beneath her feet.
Eve kept walking, unable to see any path but the one she was taking. After some time, she decided to climb up onto the wall and see if there was anything in the forest.
When she picked herself up off the ground and dusted herself off, she saw that there was a brick wall across from her.
How had she ended up in the exact same hallway?
She shook her head and decided to keep walking the path before her.
She walked for hours, growing increasingly exhausted, before she saw anything other than the same hallways.
It was the same room where she had started, a room with four brick corridors extending out from it. One in every direction.
Eve blinked. She couldn't remember what she had been doing, or even where she was.
She asked the suited man in front of her why she was there, but he did not answer.
His form flickered, and he was standing before the hallway to the left.
He flickered again, and he was gone.
The only choice Eve saw was to find him and ask what was happening.
