Zachariah and his friends decided to visit the recently abandoned hospital on the edge of town . No one knew what kind of hospital it was. The doctors and staff came in blacked out cars every so often. Anyone who went to the hospital didn't return.
Zachariah and his friends JJ, Adrian, and Joey set out just after dark . It was a few days before Halloween as the group talked about their upcoming plans to celebrate. They arrived at the hospital and entered through a window that was busted. As the group headed down the hallway in what looked like the children's ward they hear a eerie sound.
At the far end of the hallway they see a shape emerge from a room. The group stops moving as the lights begin to flicker a wheelchair is now sitting in the hall.
A figure slumped beside it. Suddenly it jumps up and sprints toward the teens. It looks human but one eye bulges out of it's face it's teeth are like oversized saw blades. It's mouth juts open due to the teeth and it's forked black tongue flicked out. The group scattered not realizing they are surrounded by similar creatures.
