Holy crap I have now discovered the tag and have been sucked into a vortex of enchantment. CREEPY enchantment. o_o

Dude, I freaking lived right by that labyrinth garden! At least now I know where it comes from, though I'm kinda grossed out about the guy himself. I LIKED that stupid thing dammit!

The fact that only he could answer the questions was kind of a red flag for me, but yeah. I liked it conceptually, and then I found out who made it.

Ah, I post-dated the whole wheel thing, so all I ever saw was the labyrinth tiles in the garden, which on its own was kinda interesting and mysterious. (Where did the labyrinth come from? Who built it? Why?) But now that I know where it comes from, I just feel kinda icky.
