A pulsation of light and shadows fills the cold, wet corridor. A hushed wind rushes through the eerie space, with only the nights sky to light the way.

A girl appears in the shadows, as she walks down the dark concrete corridor. Her steps are quickening, as she hears laughter in the distance. She then hears the loud bang of iron doors and a bleating animal cry. It's a lamb, white and blank-faced, skitters across her path and into the darkness. She looks at the animal confused, why on earth is that here?

She then hears another sound, this time it's much nearer. There's a slithering sound of something like fingernails, across metal slates. This makes the girl begin to run, as she becomes more and more frightened. She then finds her in a boiler room.

The girl is now a tiny figure, as she runs among huge boilers, steam pipes and catwalks, a shadowed forest of iron and stone. She then stops, listening intently as the sound of tiny hooves suddenly turns into the rattle of distant rain. Then there's a sound of ripping fabric.

From behind the girl, someone is shouldering behind a ragged dirty canvas. The long curved fingerblades suddenly punch through in the firelight. Beginning to rip through the thick fabric, as easily as scalpels through flesh. They are making a hideous, extended ripping sound.

The girl quickly rushes away, hands over her ears. She then stumbles backwards, then the canvas flaps free, the blades gone. Everything goes silent. The light from the nearby boiler pours through, leaving her standing there in silence and vulnerable. Then a deep, ragged voice whispers at her..
"One two, Harry's coming for you..."

The girl opens her mouth to scream but only a dry, yellow dust pours out. And at that precise moment, a huge shadowy man with a grimey red and green sweater and a weird hat pulled over his scarred face lunges at her. And it's his fingers that are tipped with the long blades of steel, glinting in the faded light.

The girl dodges away, her legs are suddenly very slow. The man seizes the trailing hem of her nightgown and hauls her back. The girl managed to tear free, as the man lurches after her with a hoarse shout as he...

The girl convulses in bed with a scream, instantly waking up and looking around wildly. Someone is knocking on her door.
"You okay Rose?" Rose's mother sticks her head in with a worried look. Rose then sits up and blows out a groggy breath.
"It was just a dream mum" she told her, trying to calm herself down.

Her mum then ventures into her room, sits down next to her and shoves a strand of bleached hair from her eyes. Then appraises her daughter.
"Some dream judging from that" she said as she looks down at her daughters nightgown. Rose then looks down, there are four slashes up its middle, cleanly cut as if by scalpels.

"You gotta cut your nails or stop that kind of dreaming, Rose. One or the other" her mum told her. She then gets up from the bed and walks to the door, closing it behind her. Rose then looks back down at her nightgown.

"Oh shit" she says in a low tone. She then snatches the cross that hangs over her head, her face as white as her sheets.

So this is a brand new story, I hope you all like it. If you've seen this movie then you'll know what's going to happen, if not then I hope you enjoy and I recommend watching it, as its one my favourite horror films.
