The Second Floor

I have never wanted to go to a hospital because I despise them. My biggest nightmare came true once when one of our relatives was hospitalized in the hospital, and we had to visit him. It was a large hospital, but it was located outside of town. There were only a couple of residences nearby. We started our journey early, yet it took us until after nightfall to arrive. I wasn’t feeling well, so I went for a walk in the garden next to the hospital until my family returned from seeing a relative. While listening to music, I wandered around. As I approached the back of the hospital, it began to rain. I rushed into the hospital’s back door after seeing it. It was rather dark there, so I used the flashlight on my phone. It was a storage area. I was worried since my phone’s battery was low and it was about to die. Then I decided to look for a way inside the hospital through a door. I noticed a door, but it was shut. So I proceeded up the steps on my right to see if there was another entrance. I proceeded up to the first level, but there was no door. As a result, I chose to go to the second floor.

Fortunately, I discovered an open entrance. When I entered, I observed that there were very few people present. I approached a nurse and inquired about my relative’s room. She smiled as she walked away. I imagined she smiled because she felt comfortable in his environment. I began to concentrate on her. As we progressed, I peeked into the rooms and observed that they were strange. Many of them had been burned. I noticed that the place was filthy. Then, all of a sudden, bang! I ran into a brick wall. In front of me, there was no nurse. My phone’s battery had died. The lights on that floor went out as lightning struck. I was frightened to death. Only when lightning hit could I see. I could see a tiny child playing with a ball when it struck for the first time. She was dressed in a patient’s outfit.

When the second illumination struck, I noticed that some patients were exiting their rooms. Then, when the third bolt of lightning struck, I noticed that they were all charging towards me. As lightning struck, again and again, I watched them approach me slowly, slowly. They had half-burned faces. I couldn’t move because I was terrified. The ball then suddenly touched me, and I began sprinting towards the door through which I had entered. I was drenched in sweat. My pulse was quickening. I attempted to open the door, but it became jammed. It was shattered by me. It was a rusted door that an adult could easily crush, but a 14-year-old girl like myself found it exceedingly difficult to open. Because I was terrified, I leaped to the first floor.

I caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of my eye. I started crying as I ran because I was afraid I might die today. When I got to the first floor, it was still raining. I dashed towards the garden and collided with a rock. From a second-floor window, I saw all those dead individuals staring at me. Then everything in front of me slipped away.

Although I couldn’t see clearly when I opened my eyes, I was able to recognize a nurse seated next to me. I wanted to sit but was unable to do so due to my severe injury. My leg was broken. My head was in poor shape, and I had numerous injuries on my body. A fire broke out on the second level five years ago, according to the nurse. On that floor, it killed a lot of nurses and patients. Because of numerous weird events following the accident, that floor has been locked since then. I inquired as to which floor I was on. The second floor, she replied. After clearing my eyesight, I discovered that the nurse next to me was one of the spirits. I couldn’t breathe because my heart was racing. As I blacked out, I glanced at her half-burned smiling face. Yes, you are reading a story about a girl who died.
