"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.
Now try how and why."
They're everywhere!
Find the right way down through the maze, to the food, then find the exit. Push the exit button. If the food tastes awful, don't eat it, go back and try another way. They want the same thing that you do, really, they want a path, just like you. You are in a maze in a maze, but which one counts? Your maze, their maze, my maze. Or are the mazes all the same, defined by the ends of their paths? Existence is simple: find the food, push the button, hit the treadmill.
But sometimes it can be much harder. Sometimes the food makes you ill, or you can hear nearby feet racing you, urging you on. Sometimes the button only gets you placed right back in the start of the maze again, and the food can't satisfy. There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path. Cross over the cell bars, find a new maze, make the maze from it's path, find the cell bars, cross over the bars, find a maze, make the maze from its path, eat the food, eat the path.
