Melissa was still not certain why prophets and gods would send a gardener to the bizarre and deadly Labyrinth of Shadows, but so far the maze had proved more strange than dangerous. Now she is about to discover that the Labyrinth's deadly reputation exists for a reason, as she encounters one of the more dangerous inhabitants of the upper levels. And yet more danger awaits below...
Another story piece. Inspiration from Ursula Vernon (always) the movie Labyrinth, H.P. Lovecraft, and Lewis Carrol in this particular section.
I'm curious... as Melissa goes further in there's going to be a lot of weird stuff. Would you rather: a. read a story that briefly mentions the random, meaningless strange things she finds and only goes into detail on the ones in some way relevant to the plot, or b. get full detail on the whole thing, including the pointless bizarre stuff that has nothing to do with anything but my own weird mind?
I hate to be boring, but I hate to be predictable also. Describing all the random junk might bore the reader, but bothering only with the significant might give away the plot a little too easily. I'm torn, really.

Well, a story has to have direction. As long as this moves forward, I don't care too much whether it wanders a bit.
There's also another thing to consider: the author has to keep enjoying the writing...
And I keep thinking of McKinley when reading this. Not quite as random(?) as she tends to be, but with lots of unexplained (and possibly inexplicable) details.

I don't mind random stuff. I do hope to see the cat again though.
