Carved into the tiles was that name.
My name.
I looked around the room, maybe I'll find something else.
I walked over to the cabinets near the blood filled sinks and human remains to find more clues when i spotted a tiny vile

It was poison.
On the vile was written instant death, code numbers, how much poison was inside and the name was half scratched off
Lidomide
That's how much of it I could read.
This was an easy way out, either i take this poison now or try to survive killers and monsters beneath the door.
I stumbled to the exit door and tried to open it
- Darn, why does everything have to be locked?!
I look to the side of the door and there's a box there, there's 10 buttons all with random letters.
I E R A L C M D O H
What?
I go over every single letter trying to figure out what the code should be
I try to type my name
Wrong. 2 attempts left
Shit. What do I do

After another failed guess and a lot of thinking I get up from the bed once again and go to the door
Lidomide
The red button turns green with a silent beeping noise.

I did it, but what now?

I look around the room to see if I left anything before I step out.
I take the flashlight and the poison vile and get out of there.
The moment I leave the door shuts behind me very loudly scaring me and making it impossible to go back even if I wanted to.

I look in front of myself and see a dark abandoned hospital hallway with a door at the end and one to the right.
Slowly I start walking, looking around making sure I don't trip or miss anything.
I only see dead rats, blood, mold, cracked tiles and dried leaves with insects in them.
I go over to the first door and step inside.

It seems that this was an operation room, there's scalpels on the floor, pliers and much more medical equipment

I walk towards the table when I notice a bathtub in the corner of the room.
- That's strange, why is there a bathtub in an operation room?
I step closer and see blood, a lot of blood and a corpse.
The body is soaking in blood, rotting there, but there's something about this body that seems weird.
One of its arms is missing and the other one is clenched tightly, even though rotting.
I step closer and see something.
The body, it's holding something.
Trying not to vomit and freak out I slowly grab the arm and try to open it. The gross feeling of bloody rotting hand in mine almost makes me faint, but I do it.
I look at what the hand was holding.

A key.

But what is it for?
