I find that the mirrors look too much like openings for my taste, and
would suggest that they'd be better if they didn't go all the way down
to the ground.

I'd also suggest adding at least one more doorway, so that it's not
impossible to find a route that takes the man in the maze to rooms on
the left side of the image.

Very nice - gives a distinct impression of infinite infinity.

Well done

Very nice, indeed!
Realized with a macro?
Could be interesting adjusting camera parameters and creating a tiled
wallpaper.

Interesting idea :)
This mirrors are a bit confusing, perhaps make them in other shape then 
windows? And adding photons maybe could be a good idea

I've been trying to build a library based on this short story, but I'm not
happy with the results, still working...

I see, it appears doors instead mirrors, I'll fix.

Well, the distribution of walls, windows and doors is based on a random
function, based on the row and column where the object is placed, I only can
modify the parameters to generate another maze or keep faith in the boy to
find a way to exit.
(do I said there's an exit?)
