  and throw up right outside the door. When Wright got his wits together he stepped into

  the room, all the corpses began to scream in pain like they were being hurt by

  something, but nothing was hurting them that Wright could see. Wright walked

  halfway into the room when the corpses started to walk towards him, grabbing at him.

  Suddenly he had ten, twenty, thirty corpses on him all grabbing at his eyes and his flesh

  trying to tear him apart, it felt to him like they were trying to get to his soul. Wright felt

  his flesh from his face and his stomach being torn away and then eaten by these undead

  things. He tried to get out but he couldn’t, he was being pulled in and they were

  holding tight so he couldn’t escape. Wright then started to punch them and one by one

  they let go, as he started to get closer and closer to the door; when they would grab him

  he would punch them and start moving again until he got out of the room. When he

  was out he saw these enormous eyes and a huge shape of something coming for him.

  When he tried to close the door the corpses were holding the door open and the big

  thing kept coming, now it was running, trying to hurry and pull him back in. The door

  started to move but it wasn’t closing fast enough, Wright was trying his best to pull it

  shut. When the thing started to get closer the corpses started to let go and started to

  move out of the way of the stampeding thing. When it got closer he saw that it had

  huge horns and a burnt face, huge muscle and hooves for feet. Wright finally got the

  door closed and locked it, when he did he heard a loud bang on the other side and two

  horns came through the steel door, almost hitting Wright in the head.

  Wright then started to walk back to the room with the sign on the door when he heard a

  roar coming from behind him, Wright started to run just in case if that thing broke free.

  Wright got to a split in the hallway and hid there, that’s when he saw that thing again

  but now he could see him and realized he smelt like rotting flesh. It stopped right in

  front of Wright and began to smell the air, trying to find him, luckily for Wright he

  forgot to put on his deodorant today and he was out of cologne. The beast then roared

  and started to run straight and away from Wright. When Wright couldn’t see the beast

  thing anymore he stepped out and looked right and left, when he felt safe enough he

  started walking to the room with a sign on it. It seemed like he would never get to the

  room but when he did he heard the beast, when he looked to the left there it was,

  nostrils flaring ready to attack. Wright tried to open the door but it was locked, he then

  started to slam his shoulder on the door but it wouldn’t budge, the beast kept getting

  closer. Wright took four steps away from the door then rammed it and finally got it

  open, when he was in the room he quickly closed the door. Wright could hear the beast

  trying to get in but he couldn’t for some reason, maybe he was more respectful to signs

  than Wright was. It was dark in the room, Wright felt against the wall for a light switch,

  he finally found it then turned the lights on.

  Chapter 04

  The Forbidden Room

  When the lights came on, they flickered a little while then stayed solid, what Wright

  saw in there horrified him. When Wright looked around there was blood everywhere,

  splattered on the walls, the ceiling, and the floor. There was a table covered in blood in

  the middle of the room with a bunch of wires and machines by it. The machines were

  off, Wright followed one of the wires to a piece that was on the table, it looked like it

  went on the head but Wright couldn’t figure out for what reason. Wright Walked to the

  table and put his hand on it, it was cold like steel but he couldn’t tell if it was because of

  all the blood. He tried to wipe the blood but it was dry, he then looked at the machine,

  there were four buttons and two switches. One button was big and red and had stop

  written in big letters on it. Out of nowhere Wright felt a sharp pain on the back of his

  head, then everything went black.

  When Wright was knocked out he saw his wife and his son playing together, laughing,

  then they saw him and invited him to come and play too. He kissed his wife and

  hugged his son and started to throw a ball to his son. For the first time in a long time he

  was happy and smiling. Wright picked up his son and swung him around and around

  they were both laughing and enjoying the time they were spending together. Wright

  thought this couldn’t be a dream it feels so real, Wright finally told his wife he was

  sorry and that he loved her. Suddenly he heard a gunshot, his wife picked up their son

  and started to run then another gunshot, he heard his wife cry then another gunshot

  with his wife falling silent. Wright ran to his wife and held her and their son in his

  arms, crying and praying that this was a dream. Wright heard another gunshot and a

  pain in the back of his head and suddenly he was awake, he saw Nurse Peters standing

  over him with the things that looked like they would go on your head.

  “Oh you're awake. That’s a shame, I wanted to try this on you to see how long you

  would last” Nurse Peters said. Nurse Peters put the probes on Wright’s head and told

  him that it might hurt him or his head, who knows then she laughed and hit two

  buttons followed by flipping the first switch. Wright’s teeth clenched and his eyes

  rolled to the back of his head as he started to convulse. Nurse Peters watched with a

  smile on her face, hoping that Wright would last longer than the other victims that she

  had before him. Suddenly the pain was gone, when his eyes rolled back he couldn’t see.

  He tried to scream out but he heard nothing, he couldn’t feel the straps that tied him to

  the table, all his senses were gone. Wright started to panic but he felt nothing, it felt

  worse than when he was in the dark void. Suddenly Wright heard a voice in his mind

  telling him not to worry that it will all end soon enough, that he will get out of this.

  Wright then saw an image of his wife in his mind, she was talking to him saying that it

  was his fault that she died and that she never loved him. If he was crying he didn’t

  know it but he wished he knew. Wright started to think of all the things he did wrong

  in his life. Wright started to beg his wife for death, he couldn’t live his life like this he

  wanted his brain to hurry and explode like countless brains did before his with this

  experiment.

  Nurse Peters turned the machine off and grabbed a clipboard and stethoscope to check

  Wrights vitals. Everything was normal, she called his name to no response she opened

  his eyelids and his eyes had a white glaze over them. She then unhooked his leg straps

  and moved it to dangle off the side then hit it with a little mallet, nothing happened.

  Nurse Peters checked his pulse again and it was still normal, she looked at Wright and

  wondered what happened this time, everyone else had their brains explode maybe she

  could throw the second switch this time. Nurse Peters strapped his legs back in then left

  the room to head up to talk to Doctor White about what had happened. Nurse Peters

  got to the Doctor White’s office, she knocked on the door when White said she could

  come in she opened the door and saw him
messing with one of the brains that had

  exploded, “Did you know there’s no real difference between their brains and our brains

  they all look normal. So what happened with Mr. Wright my dear?” White Asked

  Nurse Peters. She told him he’s still alive but lost all his senses and possibly his mind

  after all the shock therapy. Nurse Peters then shut the office door so she could talk to

  Doctor White in private.

  Wright grew up used to the feeling of nothing, after all it was almost like the dark void.

  It felt kind of nice, almost weightless, then Wright started to hear things in his head. The

  voices started out soft then progressively got louder and louder. The voices were all

  jumbled up so Wright couldn’t understand them but one poked through, it was a

  woman’s voice. The voice started out sweet and kind then turned to the sound of

  something that sounded like it would come from that beast he saw earlier, it was telling

  him to get ready to die and that soon he was going to. The voice became harsher by the

  second, talking about all the horrible things he had done in his life, like letting his

  mother die at the hands of his father. The voices then stopped, for the first time Wright

  felt alone like there was no one else in this world of darkness. Wright started to hear

  music, but not music that you would normally hear on the radio it was eerie, it kind of

  sounded like it was coming from a violin. As it continued to play, the sound got more

  eerie and caused Wright to grow more and more uneasy. Wright was unable to tell if an

  hour, a day, or a week had passed; all he really knew is that he missed being able to see

  and hear things. Wright started to feel something heavy on his chest, the thing that

  came to his mind was a tiger getting ready to have a good meal, then he thought of

  Walter Hemingway sitting on his chest menacingly laughing. Wright began to feel

  joyus, hoping that the feeling in his body was returning, maybe his sight would return

  soon too. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his heart as if someone stabbed him but he

  was unable to do anything to try to make it better, Wright started to panic again. It felt

  like his heart was going to explode and all he could do is lay there and wait until it did.

  Suddenly the pain started to spread throughout his entire body, he tried to scream in

  pain but nothing come out, it was still as silent as a graveyard at midnight.

  Nurse Peters opened the office door laughing at a joke Doctor White had made, then

  told him she’s going to do her 9:00pm round then excused herself. Nurse Peters started

  her rounds on the second floor where the males were, when she got to the floor she saw

  a patient walking around. She went over to the patient and looked at his wristband that

  had his name on it, his name was Theodore Johnson. Theodore didn’t like when it was

  time to go to bed, he liked to stay up all night so the nurses usually gave him some

  medication to help him sleep but Nurse Peters figured that they just forgot to. Nurse

  Peters went to the second floor pharmacy to get him something to get him to sleep.

  When she got there the door was open, she stepped in to find a pale man simply

  standing there as if he was waiting for her to show up. The pale man told Nurse Peters

  that his name was Tony Dolengo and that he could not allow her to kill Detective

  Johnathan Wright because that’s what he wanted to do. Tony then disappeared and

  reappeared behind her only to snap her neck. Suddenly a whitish sphere came out of

  her body, Tony grabbed it and told it that it definitely belonged in hell, then ate it. He

  then dragged the body to where no one would be able to find it until tomorrow, by then

  everything would happen the way Tony wanted it to, then he disappeared.

  Tony entered the room where Wright was, just for fun he pulled the switch, electricity

  flowed through the wires but had no effect on Wright. Tony frowned then pulled the

  second switch and suddenly Wright started to react to the electricity; Tony turned off

  the machine and told Wright that his time will come but not until tomorrow when

  everyone else dies. Tony turned to walk away but stopped and looked at Wright and

  told him he looked pathetic and that he could not wait until he killed him. Wright was

  finally able to hear again he was happy about that but not happy to hear Tony’s voice.

  While fear began to arise from hearing Tony’s voice, Wright began to feel the pain in his

  body and was finally able to see again, while joyus to feel, this was also detrimental due

  to all the pain hitting him at once. Wright felt that the straps around his hands and arms

  were loose so he tried to free himself. He managed to free his right hand, then

  proceeded to feel around to free his left hand, after a minute of searching he finally

  found the strap, he was ecstatic to finally almost be free. Wright knew he had to get free

  before Nurse Peters came back but he didn’t know how he would get away when he

  couldn’t see anything, especially with that beast roaming the hallways.

  Wright finally freed both his legs, now for the really challenging part trying to find the

  door and get away before the crazy nurse comes back. Wright then heard Nurse Peters

  ask him how he got out of the straps, followed by Tony’s laugh as tell he told him that

  she wasn’t there yet. Wright then wiped his eyes, he could feel the crust that had

  formed from when he was knocked out, when his eyes no longer felt crusty he tried to

  open them and suddenly he saw a bright light. The light started to dim and he could

  make out a figure in the corner and soon he was able to tell what it was. Tony laughed

  then disappeared, Wright started to look around the room and behind the machine, he

  saw some stairs leading down. Wright got off the table then looked at the machine and

  thought he needed to destroy the machine so no one else would have to suffer like the

  ones before him. He tried to tip the machine over but it was to heavy then he saw a

  crowbar in the left back corner so he picked it up and he started to hit the machine until

  he thought it wouldn’t be able to work anymore, he stopped and put the crowbar back

  then walked over to the stairs. Wright looked down the stairs only to see it was too dark

  to see all the way down, he just hoped there was a light switch because he didn’t know

  if he could handle being in the dark again. Wright looked on the wall only to find no

  switch so the only thing he could do was hope there was one when he reached the

  bottom. He started to hear the door knob shake as if someone was trying to get in, he

  thought to himself, damn she’s back.

  ....

  Doctor White was on the other end trying to open the door but Nurse Peters locked it,

  he muttered to himself, “Damn that woman, I want to get inside that room to see if

  what she said was true and to get rid of him.” White gave up and turned towards the

  way where the stairs were but about 5 feet away from him was Walter Hemingway,

  “Good evening good sir, my name is Walter Hemingway and I’m here to tell you that

  soon you will get a deal that will land you more money than you could possibly spend

  in 100 lifetimes. It will be in your best interest to take that deal.” There was a shining

  gleam from White’s eyes when he heard that and he even grinned a little, until he saw

  Wal
ter smile then he felt uneasy about it but he wanted the money. He looked down for

  a few seconds then back up at Walter but he wasn’t there, it was as if he had vanished

  into thin air leaving White to wonder if he imagined it all. White started to walk

  towards the stairs so he could go back to his office and wait for Nurse Peters. As White

  was walking he felt as if someone what watching him, he felt like he wasn’t alone down

  here, when he turned around there was no one there, then he heard a violin start

  playing but it was a sad creepy sound as if the person playing it wanted people to feel

  uneasy and terrified White started to walk faster but that only made the sound grow

  even more creepy. As quickly as it started it ended, the sound of a little boy laughing

  and a little girl crying followed the eerie violin. When White got to the stairs he caught

  a quick gleam of a boy and a girl walking up the stairs into the dark, then they vanished

  and all he could think was that he needed to rest because it had to be that he was so

  tired. White finally got to his office and locked the door, he laid down on the couch that

  was in the room and fell asleep, only to wake up a few hours later to knocking and a

  nurse yelling that she can’t find Nurse Peters; thinking that she might be back in her

  little torture room, he told her she might have stepped out for a little while and that she

  should be back any minute. White got up to unlock the door and sit down at his desk

  to start going through the pile of request to send family members here.

  Chapter 05

  Hell’s Maze

  Wright Started to head down the stairs when he heard the beast outside in the hall, he

  then began to rush faster down the stairs. The stairs wined downwards and it kept

  getting darker with every step that Wright took. Wright put his hand on the wall, it felt

  cold and wet like no one had come down her since they made it. As Wright was

  descending, it started to get hot, as if he was heading towards the center of the earth.

  When Wright got about half way down, or at least what he thought was half way down,

  he saw a little light. Wright started to see the light move but not by someone, more like
