Theseus Had It Easy (desperate monologue challenge)

Oh, another blue wall stretching away into the distance, what a shock. Every wall has been blue and stretching away into the distance. I’ve been stuck in this maze for days. It’s enough to make someone go mad, am I mad? I’m seeing things. I’m asking myself if I’m mad. Makes me sound mad.

Who’s leaving these pills on the floor? Oh well, I’ve eaten some already. I’ll eat this one as well, they keep the hunger away at least. Are the pills making me mad? Are they stopping me from becoming more insane?

I definitely did see that ghost didn’t I? I know it was big, red and not that scary. I still hid from it, and was glad it didn’t see me. Don’t want to find out how real it is.

A noise! Another ghost! Behind me! Did it see me? Run, run as fast as I can. What’s that? Another pill? It’s bigger than the others and it’s flashing, it doesn’t look safe, maybe it’ll make me sane. Tastes funny, I feel funny, feel kinda strong, look at the ghost, it looks different, it looks scared…it’s backing away.
