Over the next several days Evelyn, Aralee, and Otis searched through the maze, slowly getting closer to the center.
Nevertheless, the closer they got, the more quickly the maze shifted and prevented them from reaching their goal.
For one moment a path straight to the center may have been open, but the next it was closed off and led in the compete opposite direction. This led to one frustrating situation after the next.
Eventually they managed to make some progress, but not in the way that they had been expecting.
The three of them had backtracked a fair distance from the center where the maze was not as prone to change, hoping to find another path to try, when they came across a large, sealed door.
This was the first time Evelyn and Aralee had come across one, though Otis mentioned that this was the third one he had seen since their initial arrival in the maze.
