THE ASYLUM

Chapter 2

We sat on the front step for about an hour waiting, debating to enter. She couldn't.. or moe like wouldn't. I didn't know what to do. 

I don't want to go in alone because that's what any typical person would do in a horror movie... nothing ever turns out good in horror movies...

Should I?

No I shouldn't...

 Yes I should.

So I did.

She followed. 

All part of the plan.

All I had to do was touch the front doors of the building and then the front door creaked open and I took the first step into the old abandoned building. It seemed like it was too easy to get past the barbed wire fences and all the security surroundings, but I did it. 

The heavy doors slammed shut behind me as a gust of wind blew through the entire building.

"Told you this was a bad idea. Typical horror movie shit going on here Blair." she worriedly pointed out.

"Just calm down." 

I heard the faint sound of screams of laughter coming from above me along with mumbled words and the sound of a machine buzzing in the distance.

"Did you hear that?" I asked Alyssa.

"Hear what?"

"Never mind."

I thought this building was abandoned? Ever since I was a baby this place has been shut down.

I start to make my way to the front desk to see if I could find any cool records from one of the patients that used to go here. As I neared the desk I could make out the back of the cushioned chair that was stationed behind the desk. I could also see strands of hair sticking out from just above the top. I slowed my pace and stopped in front of the desk, only two feet away from the chair.

"Hello?" I asked to see if there was someone seated in the chair.

No reply.

I rounded the corner of the desk, running my fingers through the collected dust on top and touched the top of the chair slowly spinning it around to see a women, face half decayed, smiling at me.

"Welcome to Olympus Asylum."

I screamed, running as fast as I could toward the first open door I could find and took a huge sniff of what smelled like rotting flesh and moldy food. Was I in the kitchen? Where was Alyssa?

Back from the other room I faintly hear Alyssa say, "Blair, are you are alright?" 

Then I heard her running after me.

Did she not see that girl in the chair? Am I just seeing things?

I looked for a light switch and flicked it on. To my surprise it actually worked.

I backed away and held my nose, face cringing at the rotting furniture and moldy cuisine all over the counters. Well, what was left of the counters at least.

I paced over to the pan lying on the stove. It was full of something that smelled and looked like vomit.

I'm guessing that its just old and nasty, I would hope they would never feed their patients something like this.

As I looked at the vomit in a pan, a vision came to me..

There was a girl, cuffed to a bed by chains on both arms as well as both feet. She was in a very dark and shady looking room with about ten other empty beds surrounding her. She was screaming as two bulky ladies dressed in white nurses dresses tried to shove the vomit looking provender into her mouth. They manage to proceed to shove it into her mouth as the girl throws up stomach bile all over herself and the nurses. 

That's all I saw before I heard Alyssa call out to me in the dim light of the kitchen.

"Over here!" I called back.

Nothing. 

So I kept exploring. 

I opened up the food pantry and stepped inside. Sadly the pull chain light bulb wouldn't turn on in this room, so I used my phone flashlight.

One glance at what was on the shelves and I was ready to run. Jars full of green goo that looked just like the vomit that was in the pan on the stove lined the first shelf. I moved my flashlight to the second shelf.

They were dark red. Crimson almost. I picked one up to examine it. The liquid substance was very thick, almost like blood. I dropped it quick and cringed as the glass shattered on the floor. I jumped back just in time so the crimson liquid didn't get on me and I slowly looked at the last shelf... nothing. It was knocked over and broken on the floor. Empty jars full of flesh colored meat lay broken open on the floor.

I glanced to the ground behind the shelf to see what could of caused the shelf to fall and there was a symbol that was a circle with a cross at the left side of it and an eye to the right. Over it was a big red X.

What could it mean?
