DEATH IS MY FRIEND - TMC

[ THE MIDNIGHT CLUB 2022]

CELESTE PARK was admitted into Brightcliffe Hospice just because she was crazy.

That's what the other kids in her neighborhood used to say.

Her doctor said it was Schizophrenia. A brain disorder as all the adults had agreed on.

For Celeste, she'd believed it was neither yet she had no choice but to oblige. Because no one would believe her if she'd said there were shadowed people walking down the hallway of her home through the gap of her doorway in the dark. If she'd said there was a small kid whose mouth sealed tight, standing in the corner of her bedroom holding a china doll. If she'd said she'd been hearing voices in the dead of night that not even her parents or any of her friends could.

Celeste grew up in a family loved by many, and that automatically made her popular at her own school. She was a healthy normal girl since kindergarten, leading up to her highschool year; Junior. Where it all went downhill that led to a car accident, all thanks to her seeing a bent neck lady at the backseat of her car.

There's nothing more than a popular girl gone crazy.

Because of Park's reputation, to save it, her parents sent her to the Hospice randomly in hopes for her to recover. But months have passed, instead of getting better, she became worse. She was secluded from the rest of her friends, she wasn't allowed to leave the building unless she had an escort. Her parents had given up on her and had stopped visiting her on family day.

Celeste lost all hope.

That was until Ilonka came.
