Excerpt:
Thinking about the creation of the Mahk piques my curiosity. It could be done in some of the rooms we’ve passed. I wish we could learn more about the process while we’re inside the castle. After waking up to the world for the first time, the Creators simply sent me into the labyrinth with no further explanation. What my body consists of or how my brain is wired, how life sparked within me, I may never know. It’s possible we could find where our bodies are produced or learn how they wire our brains, but realistically, we’re already treading in dangerous territory without digging that deep. We really need to find the mystery man so we can get out of here, or we’ll be killed.Sweat crawls down my back and on my palms as my nerves threaten to expose my fear. Who knows what the Creators might do to us for sneaking into the castle. “This was a stupid idea… It’s never going to work,” I murmur. “Let’s get out of here before they catch us. We don’t even know where to find the man in white.”The expression on his face is more serious than it’s been before.He looks down at his sooty boots. “Don’t you want to know how he came through that wall, where he came from?”Sighing heavily, I shrug. “Lead the way.”“Let’s get him and get out. It’s time to rethink this game plan. We could spend days wandering this place looking for him, and I bet, by then, he’ll be dead.”He’s right. My brain boils in search of a good solution.“If you hadn’t killed both the guards,” I accuse him, “we could have forced information out of them.”“If you think that’s the best way, that’s how we’ll do it.” He takes off away from the courtyard, motioning for me to follow.It doesn’t take long for me to recognize where he’s headed. We passed a bath hall about twenty minutes ago.“It’ll be easiest to take someone that’s off duty and unarmed,” he announces.My lips purse unintentionally, but he’s right.“Why don’t you do the dirty work?” This seems like a good job for him. I’m not eager to see any naked people.“I’m way ahead of ya.” He motions for me to wait in the hallway as he slips inside.As the mist flows out into the hall, warm slimy residue forms on my skin. I glance back and forth down the passageway. The wait for his return feels endless. A good fifteen minutes pass, but he still doesn’t emerge with a guard.I’m tapping my fingers nervously when the one-handed man in black from the banquet rounds the corner then starts walking toward me. For a minute, I completely panic, thinking he knows I’m a Mahk. Then I remember I’m in guard attire. I stand stiff and upright at his approach; like I’ve seen other guards do for Simul.Just when it seems he’s going to walk right past me without a pause, he turns to face me.
December 18-21: The Labyrinth Challenge
What's this you ask? This is what I'm calling the Cover/Website reveal for the book. And what is the special challenge? It is actually two-fold.
1. I've created a vintage arcade style game called Labyrinth Escape. The code will be given to participants to post on their site along with the cover and book information (it will all be emailed). The first challenge is to beat Labyrinth Escape. And watch out, between the spikes and the lava, it's no walk in the park ;) (But seriously, no worries guys, you can do it, probably in five minutes).
2. Every post will be given a different quote from the labyrinth wall. The second challenge is to visit each blog and count how many quotes came from The Labyrinth Wall main character, Araina. Circle back here to Anything Imagined and comment saying how many in my Labyrinth Challenge/Cover Reveal post. To give everyone time to visit blogs, I will wait to randomly select a winner until December 23rd at noon (Eastern Standard time). The winner will receive a $15 electronic Starbucks giftcard (just in time for the holidays:)
