<h1>Hospitals Darkest Hour</h1>
<img src="http://jolineblais.net/tributaries/wp-content/uploads/abandoned_hallway.jpg" width="500" height="500">
You hear drips of water plopping into the floor coming from the holes in the ceiling. This hospital hasn't been used in nearly 50 years. Usually, anybody would be terrified to explore this place, but for you, you live for it. You enjoy the abandoned history to be found. Or so you thought...

You walk down the main stretch of hallway. Poking your head into mostly empty rooms as you pass by. You watch your step as the floor is broken up and full of debris. As you approach the end of the hallway something catches your eye. In the doorframe of the last room you see what appears to be a sack. It seems out of place, like somebody put it there.

You walk up to the sack, curious about why it is here. It is loosely bound, not entirely open but you can't tell what the contents are without opening it. The smell coming from the bag is horrible, almost making you gag.

You slowly pull the opening of the bag apart to pear in. Your face turns white as you see chopped up body parts including an intact head inside. The smell alone is almost enough to knock you out. Although the smell is rotten, it seems as if they have not been here for long.

You pull yourself away from the bag to look around more. Stepping into the room the bag is outside of, you see an empty room with one lone chair in the middle. It seems odd as this place has been abandoned for a very long time. Why would there be a chair there still? Below the chair, on the ground there is what appears to be stains on the concrete. Although you are unsure, the stains appear to be old blood.
[after 10s]

You turn back around towards the door frame and realize the door is in working condition. The lock is even still functional. However, you notice that in order to lock the door, you must be on the outside of the room.

You barrell down the stairwell to get to the ground floor. You have seen enough horror movies to know that you should never investigate further when things start to get scary. Out of breath, you push through the double doors and hop out the window you entered from and run as fast as you can back to your car. Once you get there you turn around and look back at the hospital, nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Slowly and cautiously, you creep back inside and retrace your steps up to the floor with the bag. As you approach the room once again, you notice the bag is gone. You shake your head, thinking your eyes are playing a trick on you, but as you look around you see that the chair is also gone and there are no blood stains. Unsure of what just occured, you decide it is time to leave and get away from all of this.

You slowly creep back down the hallway. As you start to get closer, another loud _BANG_ is heard. It sounds like it is coming from one of the closed doors you passed by. You approach the door. You reach for the door handle and as you are about to grap onto it another _BANG_ comes from inside. What do you do?

A week has past from your when you told the police about what had happened. Your lawyer you were given comes into the holding cell you have been kept in and explains what is happening. The only DNA evidence found at the scene was your own, and the blood of the killed man in the bag. The killer evidence is that you were covered in that same blood. There was also no evidence of anyone else being at the scene but you. According to your own account, you told the officers that you never touched the body parts, yet you are covered in the same blood.

Stair after stair you bang your whole body on half rotted stairs as you fall through. After hearing the snap of your ribs on one last stair you splash onto the puddle of water pooled up at the bottom. Dazed and confused, you pull your head up to see where you are. It is hard to tell exactly with the only light source being at the top of the stairwell, but it seems like it is a basement. It is small, very dark, and incredibly dingy. It seems nobody as been down here in thirty plus years.
Just as you slowly start to get to your feet you hear the mans footseps from above. It sounds like he is walking away but you shouldn't stay to find out.
What should you do?

Your whole right leg is throbbing in pain from the fall, its most likely broken. You decide to stay and rest for a couple minutes.
Just as you are gaining the strength to get up, you start to hear footsteps off in the distance. Not from above, but from the basement...
What do you do?

You limp up to your feet and begin to search around the basement. It is dark, almost too hard to see if it wasn't for the light from the stairwell. Feeling around the room, you stumble across an old pipe. You pick it up and feel it in your hands.

Just as you start to inspect your surroundings you hear footsteps...the man in coming. What should you do?

You decide to hide around the corner, hoping the man doesn't find you.
Slowly the footsteps start getting louder and louder, until they sound like they are right next to you.
Just as you are about to think he doesn't see you, an arm reaches around the corner of the doorframe and grabs you by the neck, getting the wet blood on his hands all over you. He drags your kicking and screaming body into one of the darker rooms and throws you down. He leaves the room, closing the door, and with a _click_ you hear the door lock...

The man being dazy tries to chase you but he quickly falls over from his injury. You run as fast as you can on your broken leg, limping your way through the dark basement.

You eventually come across another stairwell, the one the man must have come down. You follow it up and out of the building.
Beaten and battered, you make it out of the hospital and into your car. Just as you start to turn the keys you spot the man in the distance running out of the hospital.
[after 15s]

"I will kill you!" you hear him scream.
But before he can get anywhere near you car you step on the gas and floor it out of there, never to come back again.
