However, The series that has shaped my view of the world is The Maze Runner series, because it shows that anyone can become a good person,…

He was the monster hiding in my closet, and I was the idiot who opened the door. Now I hate horror movies, for two reasons. One, I am a chicken in every sense of the word.
