Angela found cherri watching everyone eat in the courtyard of St Anthony. It was the only place in the hosptal that had life to it. The ceiling above it had clear glass. where the sun would shine through to a garden of different colored roses and other assortment of flowers.
  when cherri was alive she had started the garden of beauty and marty had kept it alive through the years in her memory. He personally came to water them everyday. He'd sit and think about cherri there every so often. Telling himself she was in a better place.
Today tho he was standing in the center talking to Mrs. Watkins a  nurse with blonde hair and a slim waist. She'd always had her hand on her hip. She was a small pleasant looking woman.
  Angela came in and found Cherri standing a couple feet from them.
  Angela spoke to her in a freaked out strained voice," cherri i just saw the most awful thing. That man and his smoke machine stole a childs soul. Then they killed the boy. It was horrible. He became all skinny. Then poof you could feel it. Gone. No ghost like us. Just gone."
Cherri looked suprised startled as she replied," who! Who did this angie? What do you mean?".
  Angela looked to be frightful as her eyes showed fear. If tears could be seen they would but she replied," the man with the hat and trenchcoat. You know the man. He touched the boy after the smoke thing took his soul like carl does but this guy touched him with his nasty hand. Then the boy looked like a hollow tree. He's gonna kill them all. i know it. We gotta tell someone."
  Cherri now furious and scared replied," who do we tell the ghost police. We're gonna have to take care if it ourselves. That man thing whatever it is. Has been doing this for over a year. Its getting worse. If we dont stop him this place is done for. I have an idea. i seen it in a movie."
  Cherri ran up to Mrs. Watkins and entered her body. Mrs. Watkins body jumped forward as her eyes went foggy.
She spoke to marty," its your cherry blossom. now listen to me sweety. I dont know how much time i have. The man with the trenchcoat the doner. He's a bad man whose killing people here. evil follows him. You gotta help me get rid of him."
  Marty spoke dazed with a hit by the stars type of wonder to him," this isnt funny. My wifes dead. If you think your funny you're not. I dont appreciate this."
  Marty didnt like this thinking it was a trick but who'd play a trick like this for its cruel.
   Cherri grabbed him by the cheeks and kissed him saying," dear remember when you first met me i said this is a place of business. Your favorite movie is Up. The one you watch with the grandkids. Remember when we went to paris you bought me that black pendant. It had that inscription, we bring our own love but together it shines. I need you to believe me hearty marty. Hes evil you must get him out."
  Then poof! she fell out Mrs. Watkins body as Mrs. Watkins fell to the floor. Cherri herself felt like fainting for a moment but gained her composure.
  Cherri had been the only person to call him hearty marty for it was her nickname for him. There inside joke for marty liked to eat a hearty breakfast among other sweets as his teeth had gone yrs before.
  Cherri was scared for all the events that had been occuring where tragic and left her feeling scared. As she didnt know what would happen next but wanted to get her mind off tragedy. She decided to see the only person who could get her mind off of this little addie.

Marty didnt know what to think. he thought it bizarre. his dead wife talking to him. He couldn't and wouldnt but had to. She called him hearty marty. No one did.
  Marty also knew Sidney was an evil man who was hiding all sorts of things.
The deaths with all the withered bodies. The bodies all skinny full of bruises with veins. The machines all going on the fritz maybe it wasnt a coincidence. 
  There was so many things going on some he knew about. Others were a guessing game but he knew he had to do something. What tho?

  Carl had talked to sidney on the day he had been seen by cherri's gang.. Sidney had told him," you look like a good one. young man. I can help you live again, my friend. I just need you to gain strength doing what you do. Then i need you to use it. to bring those that sit vacant up into the light. free them! Use the girl.. She'll get them out. If you do this.  ill get rid of your problem. Ill bring you back too."
Carl agreed with enthusiasm he thought," if this knucklehead can see me and he has that thing with him. He could prolly do a thing or two. "
  Sidney also scared carl to death. Even tho he was already dead. He thought this guy could do worse and didnt want to find out what that was.

Carl found addie in her room. as she was having one of her good days sitting in a blue plastic chair. kicking her feet singing ring around the rosey. Eating her cookies. her mom had given her, chocolate chip saying mmmmmm the whole time smacking her lips and cooing around as she was happy as can be. Gleaming a smile in her little pink pigtails.
Carl came up glowing his foggy essence smile he spoke to her in a pleasant voice," hey little girl do you know i have a suprise for you. A magic trick would you like to see it?"
  Addie looked at him and said," im not suppose to talk to strangers. Thats what my momma said."
  Carl gleamed his foggy teeth and sharply said in a menacing laughing tone," you do know me sweet thing. You know cherri. well im a friend of hers. so you gotta believe im a man of healthy words and worth child."
  Addie smiled saying in a high pitch," you know cherri. I love her. Did she ask you to stop by? I havent seen her in a couple of days. i miss her."
Carl nodded his head talking with a hearty voice," well yes she did. She told me you need to stretch your legs. Get some fresh air. Would you like to do that? I bet we'll find somethinging better than these cookies."
  Addie got excited hopping up grabbing carls imaginary invisible hand. She spoke," lets go." And started to skip with carl out the room.

Angela and cherri went to Addies room. It was empty so they decided to search high and low. Asking the fellow dead if they had seen little addie.
  Gavin Surly a man in his fifties who had died while having his heart transplant surgery.  Told them he had seen them by the now vacant ward downstairs. The one cherri was petrified of.

Marshall Moon and Marty moon where exact replicas. Father and son. People called them M and M's. When marshall turmed 70 he developed Alzheimers with a side of paranoid schizophrenia.
Marty had watched his father go through his mental illnesses trying to help him. Just trying to be there for a father that ended up forgetting who he was and himself.
   He eventually had to put Marshall in the psych ward. for he started to wonder the streets late at night sleepwalking talking to people from his past. Who now wherent there.
  Marshall once thought his son was trying to kill him. So he stabbed him in his side with a pencil  screaming," the devil has come. he shows his vanity. Dont let him take your clarity,"
  Then marshall ran out the front door chasing cars down the street screaming for dear life saying," its here the boogeyman has opened the veil."
  Cherri had been sleeping as it had been early in the morning but awoke to marty screaming in pain.
    The couple had taken marshall in thinking they were the most qualified to watch him.
  Cherri called the cops. They reinstated Marshall to the ward. While the paramedics patched marty up.
  Everyday marty would check up on his father. As he had seemed to get worse. He didnt want to eat. He lost alot of weight. He didnt want to go to the bathroom. He smelled like shit and when the orderlies would come to help him. He'd jump at them foaming from the mouth screaming," you cant take what you dont own. Only the pirate knows the way to the bounty,"
Other times he would take his shit and smear it on the wall. He'd write the same thing everytime," the boogeyman brings the lively in for a massage."
  Marshall would stare at nothing but would be talking to someone. Everyone would say his imaginary friend. maybe someone he had known but  marty didn't know the name his father was saying. The name was Hangman Rivers or Robust Reamy.
  They talked for hours. Marshall would introduce Reamus to marty and cherri. They'd play along. Marshall had said in the 1920s Reamus Rivers had murdered 150 people starting them on fire or hanging people from trees with a neuce. He had hid on the river with his little steamboat but got sick in the mind with delirium and madness.
Eventually Reamus found his way to St. Anthony's becoming the night janitor. He started to kill residents in unthoughtful ways. Giving the patients other medicines than what was prescribed. While lacing there food with poison.
He was eventually caught by one of the nurses. Reamus committed suicide. While leaving a note that said," justice is perceived by many different angles. I shall see again but in the presence by which guides me. for cruelty isn't a joke but a praise. This is not the last you'll hear of the river band. so sound the trumpet for my mighty return." He ended up killing 100 patients in a span of 5 years.

  After a couple of months of being in the psych ward.  Marshall had found his way out his room mysteriously. As the camera's didnt work that night or pretty much any other night. Their system was shit and blurry. So no one knew how he slipped out or even that he was gone.
  He found his way out of the ward for the key was left ontop the desk on the nurses station with a scapel sitting right next to it. Marshall grabbed it.
   He then went to every room where the lunes had been peacefully asleep, most anyway. He slit the throats of the sleeping beuties.
  When he was done. He watched the restless ones who where banging there heads on the wall screaming as they always do. He left them be. 
   Marshall then made his way to the childrens side. Murdering half the kids as they slept. Knife in hand. He did unspeakable things.
  Marshall had gotten distracted by a scent that said follow me. He did as he was full of blood going from ear to ear. While laughing showing a menacing fearless grin from which no compromise could be sustained. He had a mission inside him, of death.
  Marshall had gone full bonkers. Not knowing where he was or what he was doing. The only thing he knew was he didnt want to stop and he wouldn't if he had his way.
  He followed the scent. It led him back to the ward. Where his dear son stood tearful, crying from the death surrounding him.
  Marty had turned to see his father holding a knife, bloody as all hell screaming," the time has come. Renew yourself with me young man. I feel alive again. Lets show this town what it really means to be lost in the trenches."
  Marty screamed in pain for his mind couldnt comprehend what was going on. He was in shock but still managed to speak louder and louder with every word he spoke saying," what the fuck is wrong with you. Why? Why? Dad you need to put the knife down now!! Right fuvking now.,
  Marshall spoke back laughing as he spiked his voice to a sincere sound," keep dreaming! I found my masterpiece. its being painted as we speak. Dont interrupt the artist as he's creating or youll be the next canvas."
  Marty shaking voice trembling in amazement yelled," this is your last warnning dad put the fucking thing down.
  Before Marshall had arrived marty pushed the silent alarm and called security.
   Marshall charged marty knife in hand holding it in the air, ready to thrust its will into Marty's neck but a security gaurd arrived and shot Marshall in the back three times and that was the end of marshall in this plain of existence.

Carl and addie where now infront of the vacant ward. You could hear the screams of the souls trapped in it's barrier. If you knew how to listen anyways or if you where close to the veil it would just happen.
  Addie was scared out of her mind as her eyes and hands where shaking. She spoke petrified," are you sure cherri said come here? Whats here? I dont want to go in there. Their all there. Evil. Evil things mister. I wont! I cant! Plz. Dont make me."
  Carl spoke to her softly with his ghostly hand on her shoulders," dear child trust me. Theres someone here that wants to meet you. He's a friend. A good one. He's got a suprise for you its better than any magic trick. I could ever show you"
  Carl too was scared of the vacant ward. He could hear the shrieks and wails let out by these ungrateful dead. He himself walked by the place a couple of times hearing all the trapped speaking saying let us out. We're ready to be free. Only purity can break the barrier.  
  Since the place had been out of order for so long the door was broken with its handle missing.  Carl used his power from all the souls he had siphoned. Carl used his supernatural ghastly powers and flung little addie through the door. Forcing it shut. Locking it with his mind.
