Hope you enjoy!

Tao thrashes wildly around in the hospital bed, his trembling hands clutching so hard at the bedsheets that they tear. His eyes are wide and fearful, and he screams once more.

Bone-chilling voices ghost over his deathly pale skin, whispering of all the things he's done. They harshly remind him that he should be the one in their place, he should be the one taking the blame. They are the deceased people Tao once knew, and they are bent on dragging him down to the pits of hell with them. The ghostly figures dance around him in a chilling way, smiling creepily with absolutely no soul. Their blank eyes draw fear into Tao's heart, and they have no intention of letting him go anytime soon.

Just when Tao is about to succumb to the voices, give in to the darkness inside of him, the door bursts open and in rush two people clad in white cloaks. Immediately, the voices and the figures disappear. The doctors check him over and make useless notes on their fancy clipboards. But Tao doesn't need them. He doesn't need their disappointment, or their fake words of comfort. He knows what's the problem, and he doesn't need strangers trying to help him. They can call him insane for all he cares, but they don't know.

They don't know.

They don't know about the countless nightmares of the dead coming back to haunt him. They don't know about the faint whispers he can hear around him when he's alone. They don't know that he can see them, that he can hear them, and they won't stop until he gives in.

Everyone thinks he's crazy, but he knows better. Much, much better.

And everyone has their own imaginary ghosts they fear,

But Tao's ghosts are real.

Okay I'm totally gonna admit, that was not the best thing Ive ever written. In fact, that's not even close, and the ending was pretty bad. But I tried my best because I kinda have writer block, and it's 9:30 at night, and School starts tomorrow, so.........cut me some slack, will ya?

Anyways, thanks for reading. Please comment and vote!
