The first door took me to a long hallway with dim lighting and doors all along the sides of the hall. I could hear faint mumbling and I looked in one of the rooms that had a tiny window. I could see a guy in his teens rocking back and forth in the corner of his room with a straight jacket on and a mask on.

The air smelled like rotten flesh and the only light hanging from his ceiling was flickering

The air smelled like rotten flesh and the only light hanging from his ceiling was flickering. He was mumbling furiously and I got frightened. I kept walking and the next door was unlocked. It led to what looked like an office but I saw the doors that led out of this place. I quickly sprinted to the door and pulled. "Damn it!!!" It was locked and I didn't even see a place to pick the lock.

I pulled harder and harder until I realized it was a push door. As soon as I opened the door I heard an ear drum breaking alarm. My adrenaline kicked in and I bolted as fast as I could through the woods. I could hear the loud leaves crunching under my feet. As I got further away the alarm echoed in the distance and I could see people with flash lights and hear them yelling behind me. I ran to the nearest road and as soon as I got there I couldn't hear anything anymore. Only the crickets and see the fireflies. It was pitch black with woods on both sides and no cars going by. I walked as far as I could to the nearest neighborhood. I walked around the neighborhood and eventually found a little park to rest at. I fell asleep on the bench while looking at the bright stars. I could finally smell the fresh air. Even though I was only in their for like 2 days it felt like a year. The plain white walls were driving me crazy which is ironic because it's supposed to calm u down. I finally got to rest but I was freezing for I still had on my white dress but the cold air felt good on my skin so I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up to the noise of leaves crumbling. I didn't open my eyes but I could hear the footsteps getting closer. I slowly squinted my eyes open and saw it was still night time. I wasn't sure what time of night but I could tell it was around midnight because the moon was in the middle of the sky. The footsteps went to a sudden stop. I closed my eyes again to listen for the slightest breathing to judge where the person was around me. I heard breathing above me and I squinted my eyes open again. This time I saw a young teenage boy, probably 16 years old. He was hovering above me looking down on me smiling this devilish smile. He couldn't see my eyes open and he must've thought I was a heavy sleeper because he stroked the side of my face with his hand. I smiled demonically knowing their was about to be a fight. His smile turned more innocent when he saw me smile. He must've thought I was smiling because of my dream.

His hand started moving down my neck and I shot my eyes open. He realized my eyes were open but before he could do anything I grabbed his wrist with an insane smile. I started squeezing it with all my strength and my eye started twitching. He gasped in pain and slapped me. I let go and stood up as fast as I could.
