The Hospital

a short story

 

In the early 1900s, there was a hospital in a small town that was notorious for its mistreatment of patients. The hospital was run by a wealthy doctor who was known for his cruel and sadistic treatment of those under his care. Patients were often subjected to inhumane treatments, such as electroshock therapy and experimental surgeries, all in the name of medical progress.

As time went on, rumours began to spread about strange occurrences within the hospital. Patients reported hearing disembodied voices and footsteps, and some even claimed to have seen ghostly apparitions wandering the halls. The hospital staff brushed off these reports as the delusions of mentally ill patients, but the rumours persisted.

One night, a nurse was working the night shift when she heard a strange noise coming from one of the patient rooms. She cautiously approached the room and slowly opened the door, only to find an empty room. As she turned to leave, she heard a faint whisper, "help me."

The nurse was terrified, but she knew she had to investigate further. She began to search the hospital, room by room, until she found a secret passageway hidden behind a bookshelf in the doctor's office. As she entered the passageway, she realized that it led to a secret laboratory where the doctor had been conducting illegal experiments on his patients.

The nurse was horrified as she saw the cruel and inhumane experiments that had been performed on the patients. It was then that she realized that the ghostly apparitions that had been seen wandering the halls were the tortured souls of those who had been subjected to the doctor's twisted experiments.

The nurse immediately reported her findings to the authorities, and the doctor was arrested and charged with numerous crimes. The hospital was shut down, but the strange occurrences within its walls continued for years to come. Even now, some claim to hear the ghostly whispers of the patients who suffered within the hospital's walls, reminding us of the horrors that were once perpetrated there.
