The Hospital (Sam and colby)

The terror continues

 As they stood there in the chilling silence, the weight of the situation pressed heavily on them. "What do we do?" Sam shouted, panic rising in his voice."Find a way out!" Colby yelled back, desperately searching for another exit. They began to pound on the door, but it wouldn't budge. The shadows seemed to close in around them, and the sense of despair grew heavier.Just then, the mirror began to shimmer, and the shadowy figure emerged, reaching out towards them. "You shouldn't have come here..." it whispered, its voice a chilling echo that sent shivers down their spines.                                                                                                                                                                              Sam and colby run towards the nearest exit they can see but with each step a heavy weight begins to fill their chests.                                                                                                                                                     "you thought it was that easy?" the voice seems to be closer now. both boys look to eachother in a panic "colby im scared" sam whimpers in fear as he holds onto colbys hand "dont worry sam we'll find a way out of this" colby says voice shaking but trying to comfort his friend. "Colby what if we dont, i dont want to die i havent even lived yet" sam cries as he starts spiralling into an incoherent mess. "SAM YOU CANT FALL APART IF YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS FOLLOW ME" colby shouts snapping sam back to reality. colby spots a door to the left of them "if we cant get out we'll have to go deeper in" colby says giving sam a reassuring nod. They both take off down the hallway looking for somewhere to hide and collect their thoughts. Colby pulls sam into a room about 5 meters down the long hallway. "sam this is crazy good for our youtube this is undeniable evidence that ghost exist, i know youre scared but we need to keep filming no matter what" colby says looking deeply into sams eyes. "colby no one is going to see this evidence if we dont survive" sam says breaking down in fear. "sam its ok, lets make a deal okay if things get too bad we will stop filming but for now we need to continue, if we die we need people to know why" colby says his words seeming to calm sam. "youre right colby but can we please get out of here before it comes to that" sam says voice still shakey from anxiety. ghosts began to surround them again, "colby i cant do this please IM SCARED" sam shouted trembling in fear. "Sam, listen to me!" Colby said, gripping Sam's hand. "We can't give up. There has to be something we can do. We just need to think!"The shadows danced around them, whispering secrets of despair and hopelessness. Sam could feel the weight of fear pressing down on him, but he forced himself to take a deep breath. "What if... what if we confront it?" he suggested, his voice trembling.Colby hesitated, glancing back at the figure that loomed closer, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. "Are you sure? What if it gets angry?""Maybe it's not just a monster. Maybe it's something more," Sam said, his heart racing. "We need to understand why it's here. Maybe that's the key to getting out."With a nod, Colby steeled himself. "Alright, let's do it. Together."They turned to face the figure, which was now fully formed, its shadowy features twisting and writhing. "You think you can challenge me?" it hissed, its voice echoing like thunder. "You are but children lost in the dark.""We're not afraid of you!" Sam shouted, surprising even himself with the strength in his voice. "We want to know why you're here. What do you want from us?"The figure paused, its expression shifting slightly. "What I want is irrelevant. It is what you seek that matters. Do you wish to escape, or do you wish to understand?"Colby exchanged a glance with Sam, who nodded. "We want to understand. We want to help."The figure's form flickered, and for a moment, they caught a glimpse of a sorrowful face behind the shadows. "Then listen closely, for the truth is buried deep within your fears. Face what you dread, and you may find your way."As the figure spoke, the room began to shift, the walls melting away to reveal a dark landscape filled with swirling shadows and echoes of lost memories.
