They found that the walls of the maze moved from day to day, making it more difficult to find the solution. At the end of each day, the runners would come back and make a map of the portion of the maze they explored. Once a week supplies would arrive from the creators, the name the boys gave to their keepers. Once every month a new boy would arrive, Thomas being the latest. Farmers, butchers, carpenters, and more, the little community was almost self sustaining. The other boys all had jobs to keep busy. They had runners out in the maze every day, looking for a way out. From what Thomas was able to piece together, some of the boys had been there for as long as two years. Chuck, the previous 'newby,' was to find him a place to sleep. As it was getting late, Thomas was told to get some sleep and he would be shown around the next day. Newt was a little more accommodating, but for every question he answered Thomas thought of two more. He had many questions, especially since his memories were gone, but Alby acted like answering questions were an inconvenience he didn't have time for. All the inhabitants were teenage boys, perhaps 60 total, and ranged in age from about 12 to 18. He met Alby, the leader, and second in command Newt. In the middle of each of the four walls was a doorway, which he later found led into the maze. Thomas found himself in an immense square courtyard surrounded by massive walls. The elevator was moving up, and at the completion of this journey the doors at the top were flung open and a rope was lowered to bring him out. Many things brought about a faint recollection but remained just outside his grasp, like looking at images through an opaque glass.

All of his other memories had been erased. He can not remember anything about his life prior to that moment, except he knew his name was Thomas.
