Lighting pats.

Lighting pats.

She walked in the labyrinth, with high green walls with pictures resembling the ones on the stairs where she grew up. 

In the halls of green, she morphed and changed ages as she walked. 

The labyrinth however was getting darker, the paths illuminated had been fewer and fewer as she walked through them. 

One day she tripped as she walked. On the floor, there was something buried just sticking out enough that she could see it. 

She started digging and found a music box, she blew the dust off and put in a key she carried on her necklace. 

The music box started playing and suddenly one of the paths that had gone dark started to blink with light. 

She took the box and started to walk through it. It was full of cobwebs and dust as she hadn't been there for a while. In it more pictures and a wooden table in the dining room. 

In the green walls, at the end of this path, there was a metal doorway with a 'personnel authorized only' sign. 

She took the key from the music box and used it on the door. Inside there were multiple monitors on a wall. Showing every path that she could walk through.

She understood at that moment that she had found the center of the maze. Her key started to glow brightly as she got closer to the control panel. 

To the right of it, there was a red button covered by a see-through plastic cover that would only open by a key. 

She put in her key and turned it. The cover slid off inside the desk and the red button was usable. 

As the key glowed brighter, everything on the panel also grew brighter. Slowly and a bit nervous she pressed the button, initiating a reset in the system. 

For a second it was dark on the monitors as the desk grew even brighter. Then every path that had gone dark started to show on the monitors with even better resolution than before. 

She watched for a second and let it sink in. Then she walked outside the control room and saw every path again, she could visit every path and watch and be there again like before. 

Her key powered the lights and kept them on.
