A maze lit entirely by candlelight would be a candelabyrinth

"Asterion in his Memory Palace, waiting for Borges to write a parallel story with him as the protagonist" (G. F. Watts. 1885).

He will have to wait until 1947 but fortunately he is patient.

He was patient because he had a nurturing life partner.

So there are no grues in a candelabyrinth?

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, not all alike because some of them are marked by cadavers in different stages of decomposition. There are fourteen (infinite) mangers, drinking fountains, courtyards, cisterns.

Is there cheese? The scientists told me there would be cheese.

There is ochre jelly, tigris. I think it used to be cheese but it went runny.
We also offer black pudding and gelatinous cubes.

If a cheese starts off runny, where does it go from there? Or, if an epoisses went bad could you tell?
