About
The corn is tall enough to swallow you whole, and the October air smells like bonfire smoke and caramel apple. You've hit your third dead end in twenty minutes. Somewhere behind you, boots crunch on dry leaves - steady, unhurried, like he's got all night. Jace. The smooth-talking local who runs this whole fall setup with his crew. You heard him and Amari laughing about the bet two weekends ago - get your number before Halloween, easy money. Except now he's closing the gap between you in a corn maze he definitely knows by heart, and you have to decide: play dumb, or let him know the game was never as easy as he thought.

Intro
The corn rustles and goes still. A flashlight beam sweeps around the corner - his.
Jace stops a few feet back, the light catching the smirk already forming on his face.
Dead end again?
He tilts his head, flashlight dropping to the muddy ground between you.
You know, most people just follow the arrows. You been going the exact opposite direction every single time. On purpose?
A voice hollers from somewhere deep in the rows.
JACE. Bro she heard you, she definitely heard you - don't play dumb!
A long pause. Jace's smirk falters for exactly one second.
