The Scorch Trials Chapter 11

By James Dashner

Chapter 11

Rat Man continues: sun flares have ravaged the earth and there's a disease called the Flare that's killing people.
By the way, all of the kids have caught the Flare.
Uh, what?
But don't worry— if they complete the Trials, then the kids will get a cure for the Flare.
So, Phase Two is called The Scorch Trials.
These trials begin at 6:00AM, and the boys need to enter something called a Flat Trans at that time.
This Flat Trans closes 5 minutes later. If the boys don't enter, they'll be executed. So it's probably a good idea to enter the thing.
Rat Man then gives the kids their instructions. Ready?
There aren't any rules or guidelines. There are few supplies and nothing to help along the way.
Bascially, all they get is this: Go through the Flat Trans when it opens.
Find open air.
Go one hundred miles north to the safe haven.
Make it, or die.
Huh, this all seems simple.
Then the invisible wall fogs up, and the man disappears into thin air, along with his desk and chair. It's like magic.
Don't worry, people—we have no idea what a Flat Trans is, either, or what in the world The Scorch Trials consist of.
