Zork is one of the oldest text-based adventure games. One of my favorite lines is:

You are in a maze of twisty halls all alike. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

So this sock is all about finding the grue in the maze of brick walls.

I used black silver sock yarn to remind one of the flickering screens. You are welcome to replace the purled stitches with knit stitches in a different yarn of amber or pale green.
