[ WP ] The lights flicker out as you walk down the long , dark , mysterious hallway . A shrill scream can be heard from a room down the hall ...

By all accounts, this hospital was closed and had been for nearly forty years. 
 
 I was the only one who was still alive who held a key to the building, all the others had vanished or died of questionable causes. My fingers fiddled with the rusty key in my pocket as I kept walking down the hallway. Above me, the iron lamps swayed and struggled to stay lit after retiring from having witnessed so much malpractice and abuse at the Sliverrest Teaching Hospital. I heard a woman scream and stopped in my tracks. 
 
 Her wailing bounced off the walls and slipped through the cracks and into the hallway where I was pacing back and forth. When my neighbor approached me a week ago and asked if I still had access to the hospital's innards, I had no idea the man had such a dark request in mind. His mother had been raped and needed someplace to give birth. Before I could suggest other resolutions, the man insisted it not happen around other people and that it also needed to be somewhere no one would ever think to inspect. 
 
 A chill ran over my body as I stood in the dusty hallway. 
 
 The man said he'd help his mother give birth and that all I had to do was to guard outside and kill whatever came out that did n't look, sound or smell like human. He gave me an ivory gun and for the next three hours, I paced back and forth in the fluttering light, my lungs filling with mold. Suddenly there was a loud banging and I hurried to the door and called out to them. Suddenly something heavy hit the door and I fell over. The heavy door flew open and a shadowy figure sprang out with a long hissing noise. 
 
 `` Kill it!'' The man called out. I poked my head into the door and saw the old woman laying on her back, a large pool of thick blood on the floor between her legs. In the blood, there were streaks of black but before I could question what happened or if they were alright, the man got to his feet and sped after the small creature. 
 
 I got to my feet, my legs felt numb. 
 
 There was a yell and then what sounded like gunshots from another room. I ran over and stepped into the room to see there silver bullets lodged into the wall with the man laying on his back, the creature feasting upon its face. Without question, I took out my own gun and nervously took aim at it. I could n't see a face or even limbs, it was just a blob of black smoke. Somehow it took notice of me and lunged. My heart stopped and I felt my body doused in fire as I saw nothing but darkness.
