A Puzzling Maze

With the day gone and the fullness of night in place, the crescent moon housed the sky without interference as no cloud was present. Alycia watched ominously from her balcony while her mind raced with wonder.

Anticipating the worst after her interaction with Ashton earlier in the day. Bewildered by his strange behaviors, she became engrossed with the "work" he was yet to have her started with. It seemed almost intentional how he stalled the commencing of this unidentified job. This made her luxurious stay more daunting than expected. In fact she was terrified, barely able to sleep through the nights. She would stay up either reading books in bed or resorted to sleeping with an eye opened. Surely this was already evident with the bags under her eyes growing worse by each passing day.
