I want to tell you about the bleeding maze at the center of our town. People who aren't from around here don't know anything about it. It's not referenced on any website or in any travel book, and most of us like it that way. We don't share the knowledge of its existence with just anyone because it's a very personal thing, the maze. We all have longstanding relationships with it that began at a young age. See, when kids in our town turn eighteen, we force them to enter it, like our parents did to us and their parents did to them. Inside the maze we have unique experiences, formative experiences. | Copyright 2019 by Kurt Fawver. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
