Abandoned Hospital

What up guys! So I have come back once again with another story! This one is a horror genre that I wrote last year for a school project so hope you guys enjoy it! And before you all click off thinking, this was from her school? It's probably not entertaining. Well, fear not! This isn't one of those essay things, I can't bore you all like that XD. Let's just get into this

* * * * * * * * * * *

    Sally’s summer break had just started and she was already bored. She decided to call her friends and ask if they wanted to go get ice cream at their local ice cream shop. They all agreed and decided to meet at five o’clock. They all reached at five and sat themselves down at a table to talk for a bit. They had some small talk until they finally got up to get some ice cream. They all sat down after getting their ice cream and continued on with their conversations. Soon Lily, one of Sally’s friends, brought up the topic of the abandoned hospital. “I heard it’s haunted by the spirits of the patients who’ve died there before!”, Lily claimed. They all knew what Lily was talking about. Sally didn’t believe in those hoaxes though and even asked her friends if they wanted to come with her to explore it. They all just laughed expecting her to say, “Just kidding!”, or something like that, but she didn’t say anything. She wasn’t kidding though. All of her friends kept yelling NO and advised Sally not to go either because one, it’s too dangerous, and two was that they weren’t even allowed to go in unless they had the consent of the police to go, but they didn’t. Sally let all of their words go from one ear and out the other of not going to the hospital. She decided that she was going to go to the abandoned hospital by herself with a couple of things that very night.

    Her plan was that she would leave at 12:00 A.M. when everyone is still asleep. She was going to take a small backpack with a little food, her phone, flashlight, and a small water bottle. She was going to sneak out of her back door and ride her bike to the hospital. She already had the directions to the hospital and was going to get in through a window. The street with the hospital wasn’t so busy so no one would see her go into the hospital. And lastly, she would be quick and quiet.

    It was finally 12:00 A.M. and she began to get ready to leave for her seemingly fun night. Everyone in Sally’s house was asleep and her bag was ready to go so she gingerly left her house, got on her bike, and started for her adventure to the hospital. It was dark outside, but the street lamps lit the way a bit. It usually takes thirty minutes to get to the hospital by biking so Sally had a long way to go. Thirty minutes later she had reached the abandoned building.

    She stepped back a little being hesitant because of its monstrous appearance. There were windows cracked and some were broken with shards poking out. She could see the yellow curtains with orange flowers printed onto them inside the building. Some just hung there, motionless, others were ripped with bits of the curtain still hanging on. The building looked frightful with some of the dirty white paint of the building chipping off. The big glass door was cracked open which was surprising because the building was abandoned.

    There were very few cars on the streets at the time which meant there was less of a chance of Sally being caught sneaking in. She gave one final glance at what she was getting herself into, she saw something fly right past the window of the second floor. Sally was starting to have second thoughts about going in. “Is this place really haunted or am I just imagining things out of nervousness?” She thought to herself as she stepped back from the building a couple of steps. She was about to turn around when she got this urge telling her to go into the building no matter what. Sally then proceeded to open one of the windows and go in. She was inside the building in no time and saw the receptionist’s desk and some waiting chairs that were torn and broken. She proceeded deeper into the hospital and soon got to the second floor with all the rooms for the patients. Most of the rooms had everything inside scattered everywhere and some of them were untouched, which seemed abnormal judging the rest of the hospital’s condition from what she’s seen so far.

    The floorboards creaked as Sally walked through the dim, musty hallway of the abandoned hospital. It got darker and darker as every minute passed. She walked gingerly while looking at the rooms filled with darkness and everything scattered in the rooms. She felt the ubiquity of someone in the building but didn’t know what or where they could be. She could seldomly hear faint footsteps and whispers in the distance but nothing would be there. She walked for a little while more looking at all the equipment rooms but when she went into the operation room but felt so cold all of a sudden that she could even see her breath. Sally thought this was unusual since it wasn’t this cold in the other rooms but just shook it off thinking that the night just got colder. After taking a look around the room she decided to leave so she can explore every inch of the hospital. SLAM!

    Sally started to quicken her pace and started hearing footsteps behind her getting louder and louder. She took one glance back to see if anything was even there. Emptiness… complete darkness. Sally began walking again, but she heard something that made her stop in her tracks. Sally became pale, shivering with fright, and felt like her heart had stopped. She felt a cold sweat slide down her face. She heard something that made a shiver go down her spine. “Hey, Sally! Wanna play?” Asked what seemed like a little girl’s voice. Sally wanted to scream but when she opened her mouth, nothing came out. She tried to move but was too frightened to do so. She veered her eyes in the direction of where the voice came from and felt her heart drop into her stomach. There was a little girl who looked as if she hadn’t taken a bath in ages. She was holding a ripped-up teddy bear covered in dirt in her right arm. She had long, straight black hair, covering half of her face. She was wearing a short, white dress, coated with dust and dirt. The aura she gave off wasn’t making the situation any better but making it worse. Sally shifted her eyes in another direction but when she looked back, the girl was gone. She could still hear faint giggles coming from all around her. Sally closed her eyes tight wishing she never came but then, it became pin-drop silent.

    Sally finally got her senses back and decided that it was time to leave. She started running, trying to find an exit, groping the walls for anything that could help her leave. She finally found a staircase that went down and into the main hall. Sally ran down the stairs without thinking twice. She could see the street lamps and the moonlight illuminate the hallway. She ran through the hallway and the lights grew brighter and brighter. She then saw an open window and she ran even faster to get to it without thinking about the pain in her feet. She started to hear the giggles along with whispers overlapping one another but that didn’t stop Sally from running. She finally got to the window and jumped out before she could do anything and closed the window shut.

    Sally looked through the window one last time before leaving for good. She saw the girl again just standing there holding the teddy bear with her eerie smile. Sally took her phone out and snapped a picture as quickly as she could not care about its quality. The girl turned her head edgewise piercingly and cackled, “You should come back! We all loved your visit!” Sally just hopped onto her bike and rode away swiftly. Once she was about ten minutes into her ride, she stopped by the side to catch her breath. While waiting for her mind to process what to do next, she found herself fumbling through her pocket and taking her phone out. "Of course! The pictures!", Sally had thought as she was looking through the picture. But there was something wrong, the pictures were either too blurry or were just glitched up. As she was putting her phone back into her pocket in disappointment, she thought of something the girl had said. Something didn’t add up about what she had said. It just didn’t make sense. what did she mean by ‘We all’?
