A Maze in Thailand
Despite my self-knowledge of an overtaxed imagination and a weakening grip on reality resulting from a lack of quality sleep, I was still confident in the strength of my mind and spirit. I still trusted my instinct and my logic-based conclusions. Is there a better way to cope with a worldwide pandemic than traveling toward the location of its origin? Probably. But this was Mark E. Thumann's choice when, while recovering from a work injury, he decided a beach in Thailand would be the best place to convalesce. Little did he know he would be trapped in a COVID-19 lockdown for an indefinite period of time. He was also blissfully ignorant of another consequence of his decision: the most enigmatic, terrifying, and potentially life-altering adventure that lay in wait on the superficially idyllic island of Phuket. In A Maze in Thailand, Mark documents the danger, absurdity, and enchantment of his numerous forays into the Kingdom of Thailand. This eclectic and humorous collection of stories explores fate and freewill, the fear and uncertainty those two entities create, and the instincts one needs to make it out of a twisted and life-threatening maze.
