Heat
This week's @galladrabbles prompt comes from @lalazeewrites. Previously, on Maze of Terror ... Ian chased a beautiful boy through a haunted maze. He learned that Mickey had been trapped there for generations. Ian got trapped himself. Their love began to unlock the sealed exit. Now they have all the pieces of the key...
------
Heat hits Ian in waves. It spreads from his hand, the Bull’s blood seeping into his skin.
The words around the exit tunnel explode with light. Taurobolium. Papaveraceae. Amorisveri. Burning into his vision, blinding him.
The guests comfort their friend, holding his injured arm. They glare at Ian, at the chainsaw. “What the hell is your problem? We’re gonna sue!”
The passages stretch like they’re made of taffy. Ian’s body suctions toward the tunnel, his exit, his freedom.
He claws the ground. He reaches for Mickey. He needs to drag Mickey with him.
But Ian’s amorisveri is too far away.
