TRANSCRIPT
The hospital corridor stretched endlessly, its fluorescent lights buzzing faintly above. Daniel’s shoes clicked against the tiles, each step too loud, too alone. He reached the room where his mother had been hours earlier, but the bed was empty, the sheets perfectly smoothed, as if no one had ever laid there. His phone showed no signal, no time, just a black screen. Down the hall, a door creaked open by itself, revealing a figure standing motionless, face obscured by shadow. Daniel tried to call out, but no sound left his throat. The figure tilted its head, enjoying the silent scream.
