The Fun Maze

### Lore
As you wander through the halls, making aimless turns here and there, you spot speakers every few hundred feet. The music they're all playing somehow makes you feel like the designer of this god forsaken place is desperately seeking your approval, almost as if they're asking you directly "You're having fun, right?"
### Production Details
I made most of this song on Saturday evening, using nothing but the M8's WAVSYNTH engine. The audio is straight from the M8's render, thrown into some online WAV to MP3 converter.
Even though I wrote the track on Saturday, I hadn't named it until Sunday evening. I had just come back from the movies from watching The Backrooms, and earlier in the day, I had watched episodes 1 through 7 of The Amazing Digital Circus. After getting back home, I listened to this song once more and, while under the influence of those two pieces of media, decided on the song's name and wrote up the lore.
### Diary and Chatter
Hi friends! First of all, my apologies for the absolute lack of comments on my part this past week. I was out on vacation with family on the beach, which meant almost no time on the social internet.
On that note, the week was mostly fantastic: I got to hang out with in-laws and my youngest nephew. It was his first birthday and his first time on the beach. The less fun part was that, on the way home, I got involved in a crash. Thankfully, no one got hurt. It was raining kinda hard and an 18-wheeler truck driving in the opposite direction lost control, spun out and hit the concrete median barrier. When it crashed, it threw a huge wave of debris onto my side of the road. One of the chunks of dirt and rocks that got tossed our way struck and destroyed my windshield and made a gnarly crater on my roof. Neither my wife, dog or I were hurt in the crash, but my car became unusable. I got covered in tiny glass shards and I even think I might have a couple teeny tiny ones stuck in the back of my throat. But again, thankfully no one was seriously injured, not even the driver of the truck. Given all the possible "I was in a crash with an 18-wheeler" scenarios there can exist, I think this might have been one of the best outcomes possible. Anyways, I'm just looking forward to being back home soon. All the car rental places in this small town I got stuck in were closed when the crash happened and are only going to open back up on 8am Monday.
