This was a quite long short story. After Miriam's mother died she has been living on her secluded at her house with her daughter Evelyn. they made a corn maze in one of their feilds so the two McGahee boys have been coming over trying to play in the feild but always weren't allowed. The boys got violent toward Miriam. Suddenly the youngest boy went missing and the whole town showed up to try to find the boy in the maze and they eventually cut down the field. After the first day of looking Evelyn takes off since she had a dream the people will find the boys body in her trunk. Miriam goes to see her daughter at her apartment but finds our that she hasn't been there since she left her house. Later the boys father is convicted as the murderer since he seemed to despise the boy. But no one goes to look at the McGahee place for the boy since they think they are bound to find the boy dead there. When Evelyn returns she admits that she murdered the boy and her and Miriam make up and are fine with the murder.
There are 2 parts I was intrigued by, first that everyone came to find the boy at Miriams field with the hopes that they will cut down the corn and get some type of profit from it since Miriam wouldn't allow the corn to be taken down. When the corn is taken down they find nothing and continue with there lives. What surprised me about this was that when they wanted to find the boy at the McGahee's place no one had the time to show up. They considered that McGahee was guilt without finding any evidence. 2nd thing I was intrigued by was that Evelyn killed the boy and then was taken in by her mother even after that crime. And neither of them care that an innocent man now is in jail and just lost his loved son.
