I was on duty, just another shift like the countless ones before. The rhythm of the hospital had a way of pulling me in, making me forget the world outside. My mind was sharp, focused on my patients, each one a story of hope, pain, or recovery. But as the day wore on, the walls seemed to close in, the air thick with the weight of unspoken fears. Tonight, an unease shadowed my every thought, like a dark cloud I couldn't shake off. Sudden dark shadows appear near the door.The shiver ran down my spine, opening the floodgates of my worst fears. With a deep breath, I gazed upon them, stepping into the silence. And then, I saw them-standing there in the dim light, a sinister smile on his face. My heart raced as fear gripped me, my thoughts scattering in every direction. "What are you doing here?" I wanted to scream, but the words caught in my throat. They moved closer, and I felt the world narrow to just to us, trapped in this moment, in this nightmare.I tried to run, to fight, but they were too strong, their grip too tight. The room spun around me as they whispered things I couldn't comprehend, their voice dripping with malice.I had saved so many lives, but in this moment, I couldn't save my own.And then, everything went dark. In that moment, time seemed to freeze. The last thing I felt was the cold floor beneath me, the warmth of life slipping away, and the unbearable pain of knowing this was how it would end.

Decadent

My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you. A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart. That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide. "Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?" My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already. He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me. My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now. But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily. "There you are."
