The Death Cure (The Maze Runner series: Book 3)

It was the smell that began to drive Thomas slightly mad. Not
being alone for over three weeks. Not the white walls, ceiling
and floor. Not the lack of windows or the fact that they never
turned off the lights. None of that. They’d taken his watch;
they fed him the exact same meal three times a day – slab of
ham, mashed potatoes, raw carrots, slice of bread, water – never
spoke to him, never allowed anyone else in the room. No
books, no movies, no games.
Complete isolation. For over three weeks now, though he’d
begun to doubt his tracking of time – which was based purely
on instinct. He tried to best guess when night had fallen, made
sure he only slept what felt like normal hours. The meals
helped, though they didn’t seem to come regularly. As if he was
meant to feel disorientated.
Alone.
