The Maze Runner: Thoughts VI

So much has happened since the last time I posted so bare with me. Thomas did the impossible and survived a night out in the maze with the Grievers. How? Using the overgrown ivy along the walls he climbed up and out of the way of any Grievers, or so he thought. A Griever did the unthinkable and started climbing up the wall (Just about passed out after reading that). Thomas got out and began to run; soon enough being followed by numerous of those unwieldy beasts, before crashing into the leader of the Runners: Minho. They were able to trick all the Grievers to fall off the seemingly never ending pit known as the Cliff and get out alive.

Skipping to more of the good stuff, it turns out that Thomas has some connection with that girl in a coma who said everything is going to change, and can apparently read her thoughts, or is that she reads hers to him? The girl, who said her name was Teresa, wakes up eventually and tells Thomas all of these strange broad things such as WICKED is good and I just triggered the ending.

Imagine the weather is like this all the time, that's what is happening in the Glade 


In this so called ending, the sun never comes out, and all that is there is just a gloomy gray sky that doesn't even darken at night. Now that after Thomas survived a night in the maze, he is now promoted to a Runner and goes out with Minho to figure out more about the mystery of the Cliff. Through experimentation (and by that I mean throwing rocks off the Cliff) they figure out a sweet spot where the rocks don't fall off, but just vanish. By the end of the day as the walls... wait the walls don't close? Then that means that... on no. Stay tuned for more.

Here's a couple inferences I have made: there's something weird about how WICKED is in all capital letters and is written on those robot beetle things that spy on the Gladers. What if WICKED is the company that has set up this whole scenario and is watching them for some sort of experiment? Also, Thomas has made such a strong bond with Chuck over the past few chapters and also for Teresa whom really hasn't been explained why. Here's what I'm thinking: they are all related; whether it was because they were neighbors, friends, classmates, or siblings they knew each other before they were put into the Glade. What do you guys think? Did I leave any holes you are confused about? Tell me about it in the comments below and I will do my best to reply to them. Until next time!
