Writing Prompt: Mirror Maze

You attend a carnival with your friends only to find yourself left alone as they each pair up and go on a ride that you weren’t too keen on riding anyway. So, to kill some time, you decide to head on over to the Mirror Maze. However, as you maneuver through the glass, you find that there is no such thing as a “dead end” in this maze. When you misstep and expect yourself the bang into a wall, you fall through the glass, finding the gateway to another world.

Then, unbeknownst to you, your friends come looking for you, also in the Mirror Maze. They make much of the same discovery except for one small problem: they step through completely different mirrors to completely different worlds. Turns out, there are multiple gateways in this mirror maze, and they’re all to easy to fall into. This is, in short, a disaster.
