"Sorry I’m so late. I completely lost track of time out at the imaginary corn maze, with the caramel apples and the jug band and the petting zoo…Oh my god, the baby goats are so cute, with their soft human skin and sad little human faces!"

I love how Cecil was having a fundamentally different experience than the rest of the audience, but- wait, what was that last thing, Cecil?

[thousand-winters]

"You wonder, does a person retain some core sense of being, regardless of the choices they make or the experiences they go through in life? Or can a person become so completely transformed by these things that they no longer bear any resemblance to the person they once were? Is it possible to live one lifetime as numerous different people? Or is there only one true self?"

[thousand-winters]

"It looks like some kinda sea monster, or like one of them sharks, the ones with heads that look like a hammer, I forget the proper name of ‘em."

He's so real for this.

[thousand-winters]

"It’s John Peters, you know, the farmer? First off, I wanna thank Cecil for letting me take over the show today. Well, he didn’t “let me” per se, but he’s not real available right now and that’s kinda my fault, more or less."

Did Cecil get thrown into the corn maze???

[thousand-winters]

"Weigh all your options careful-like. The experience of a maze, just like life, is all about the choices you make. One wrong step can alter your reality forever. Sometimes in ghastly, unspeakable ways."

[thousand-winters]

"In the headlines, it is Spirit Week at the high school. Oh yeah, that’s when they do a buncha social studies lessons about ghost culture and history. I remember that from when I was a kid."

I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IN THIS

[thousand-winters]

“Hey John Peters, how about doin’ a corn maze this year? Everyone loves a corn maze! The runnin’ around and the laughin’ and the bugs in your hair and the zombies poppin’ out atcha, tryna get your brain-meat. The cider swillin’ and the banjo playin’ and the sacrifices to the minotaur at the center of the maze to appease the harvest gods. The pettin’ zoo and the pumpkin patch and the jack o’lantern patch and the accidental bonfire in the field next to the jack o'lantern patch and the fire trucks and the big water hoses and the mud and the mud wrasslin’. Everyone loves a corn maze, John Peters!”

Nobody tell me what a real corn maze is like, this is true for me now.
