SETTING

The Glade is a relatively small area that serves as a living place for the Gladers.

The Glade has four large Walls that encase it and separate it from the Maze. Each wall has an opening in its center, called the Door that closes every night and re-opens every morning.

 

 

 

Outside the Glade lies the Maze with many twisting and turning paths that contain horrifying slug-like, spike-covered creatures called Grievers.

 

 

 

 

 In the center of the Glade, there is a metal elevator that the Gladers call 'the Box'. Once a month, a new boy arrives in the box with his memory wiped. Supplies and clothes also arrive in The Box once a week.
