The Hospital

The Hospital

The Hospital

Mar 06, 2023

I .... I can't explain.  About what happened. It was like a dream that I drowned deep into. I feel like I'm still in that dream. Even if people say this is the reality. They say I'm crazy because of the accident I had. I can't reimagine the things I saw. The things I felt. It was not unreal or real.

My name is Howard Lynch. I was working as a food Delivery for a Bakery in Winchester called " Ronald and Sons ". They were popular in Winchester and the cities around. Because of that we get more than fifteen orders an hour. It's always busy for us. The working people. Ronald and Sons made many delicious Donuts and Cupcakes. My kids loved them.

So, one day I got an order to deliver five Chocolate Donuts, fifteen Rainbow colored Cupcakes and twenty Cheesy Garlic breads within two hours to a party held in Rook town at London. It was so much frustrating because It was nine o clock at night and the main road was full of traffic. And the god damn rain made my truck almost stuck on a puddle. The Rook town is not inside the London city in fact it was outside and there was a shortcut road leading straight there.

But how I was wrong. The road was flooded, and I was going through while being stuck for few moments. And in the worst-case scenario I was alone and didn't have an umbrella or a bloody raincoat. I was soaking wet and sleepy. I had to jump out and check the tires few times. I only had thirty minutes for the deadline. I was so mad that I cursed the rain. Somehow, I managed to go through the flooded area into a road full of trees. I could see the town from the far horizon. Only few lights. The town wasn't much famous. The town was built by a man named Ian Bellingham during 1920. How was this area before he found it was unknown. People have rumors about there was only a Butcher shop there and no other buildings. The Butcher sold the land to Mr. Ian to build the town. They named The Town as Rook Town because there were lots of Rooks flying around because the smell of meat from the shop. People said those rooks were causing trouble to the people of the town after the Butcher shop was gone. Which led riots against Mr. Ian for solutions which caused few getting injured. This led to the making of The Rook Town Hospital. The first hospital of the town to help the sick. Some people who couldn't take the Rook problem, Shot Rooks down and killed them. After few years some of The Rooks speeded a sickness among people which made the town feel cursed. But when time has passed the sickness completely vanished and no one ever talked about it since. Maybe they found a cure, or it was just a normal fever.

So, when I was going through the road and was running out of time I speeded up. I had to rush. Suddenly one of the tires popped out and I was out of control. I crashed on to a tree and passed out. When I woke up, I looked at my watch. I still had ten minutes left. So, I tried to start my truck but It didn't work. I had to carry the boxes myself to the town. I took them and ran towards the town. The road was slippery, and my ankles began to hurt. But I reached the town to find some people on the center of the town gathered under a hut.

They were celebrating something. Could be an anniversary or a birthday of a kid. Or could be just a random party. Didn't bother me. There were balloons hanged around the hut which were blood red colored. It gave me spooks. So, I went to them and handed over the delivery.

A grown man wearing a Bunny mask came and checked the boxes. He said " You are Late lad. The party is already started. Also, these are bloody wet. How can we eat this I say? " . His last words felt quite rude.

" I'm sorry sir. I had some problems along the road. "
I tried to excuse.

" You should go back and bring new ones. We aren't paying again. It's on you. Or I'll call your boss and tell him to fire your arse up. Do you understand? " The Man told me to bugger off and bring more of those Donuts and Cupcakes again. Even if it rains like hell and the truck is broken.

" Sir. Sorry about this but sadly my truck got broken. Crashed on to a tree. I might need to fix it to go back " I said.

" Your Truck? Hmmm. Alright. Get inside the hospital and wait there. Tell the Doctors David sent you. We'll check the truck. "
The man's tone changed suddenly. He went from being rude to being kind and sympathetic.  But it was also alarming. He gave away his name. David. He seems like the big fella of the town. Could be the town's Police Chief. He took out the food from the boxes and handed them over to an old man. There were some women and kids there with David. It's kind of strange having a party outside in the middle of a heavy rain. But who am I to judge.

I found The Hospital and it really looked like a church. It had Gothic aesthetic to it. Inside it looks more of a metal hospital rather than your typical posh looking hospitals. I met a nurse who was sitting on a chair while being asleep. I poked her to wake her up. I told her everything that happened, and she too led me to a room to attend to my wounds. I only had few visible wounds on my face and hands, but I felt like what happened today will cost my job. The nurse said the Doctors are having a break because of the rain and the people are celebrating a birthday. After she helped me, she told me to wait in this room until she calls me. She also said my ankle is slightly broken, so I need rest.

After she left, I waited about half an hour. I looked outside the window, and it was still raining. I just stared at my reflection to see the raindrops on the window moving over it. I turn around to see the birthday party outside, but they weren't there. The balloons were all popped up. Maybe the party was over.

I came out from the room to check on the nurse, but she wasn't there either. I walked to the main door to go outside and realized it was locked. I felt suspicious but also curious.  I grabbed a pair of scissors just in case. I walked my way through the Hallway asking if anyone is there. The end of the hallway was shrouded in darkness. I looked for the light switch, but it was broken. I went back to the room I waited to see if there's a Telephone or a torch. But neither was there. But luckily there were some candlesticks and a lighter on the desk. I took them and shined my way through the darkness. I found a rusty looking elevator. I thought about it few minutes. Will I go down to search or will I stay here longer.

I decided to go down by the elevator. I didn't understand why this Hospital does have about six down floors. What if this hospital belongs to Nazis or Some enemy of England. Or is it an underground researched lab. Maybe the main Hospital is on the sixth floor. Many things came to my head while going down to the second floor through this slow and rusty elevator.

Second floor was completely dark and no light. I went down to third floor. That floor was sealed. there was a Spider with a big eye in a triangle which had four sets of wings painted on that sealed wall with red and White. This is becoming vague. I thought maybe I should go back to the first floor. I pressed the button to go up, but the elevator didn't move. Even to the second floor. I was wondering if this is some sort of a Prank or a game. Someone must be enjoying spooking me. So, I yelled " Alright Play time is over. This isn't funny. I'm tired and wounded. Let me go. Is this because of me being late to deliver those things? Let me go and I'll bring more. Did you hear what I said? "

But no answer. I decided to go to the fourth floor. It was also dark, but one bulb was flickering.  I went to check if there's anyone, but it was a Dead end. No doors. I went back to the elevator and went down to fifth floor. This time there were three lights and three hallways. I thought about which path I should take. I decided to do toss a coin by throwing it as high as I can. Heads I choose Left, Tales I choose right and If the coin lands on my hand I choose Middle. So, I threw the coin. It landed on my hand. So, I went through the middle hallway.

I walked in with the candlestick.  There were photographs of the town from different years hanged on the walls of the hallway. The photographs looked more like paintings as I moved forward. Then those paintings looked distorted and worn off. Then there were blank canvases.  The path turned to left. Now there were some red crosses drawn on the walls. As I moved forward there were black crosses. They looked more like upside down crosses as I reached another turn. Then turned right to follow the path. This time there were those balloons from the birthday party. Now I was sure this was a prank. I followed the path and saw a door with an eye which was scrapped on it. I heard a classic Frank Sinatra song playing from behind the door. I rushed and pushed the door to confront whoever behind it.

I was fooled.

There was nothing behind the door except a large hole which made me fall because of my anger.

I woke up. I couldn't feel my left leg. When I looked at it the bones were broken. I yelled in pain. I cried.
" What do you want from me? Please let me go please. "

Suddenly a light turned on and more after it. Some people came out from the walls wearing animal masks. Even kids. They came to me and looked at me. I recognized one of them. It was the nurse who treated me.

They covered my face with clothes and dragged me through the hallway. A kid looked at me with her doll and she ripped off the head. I was dumped on to a bed and tied up. I was surprised to see that on the other bed was David who was also tied up. Unfortunately, his right arms and both legs were amputated. He was still alive. He looked at me with tears.

" They did this. Because of the birthday "
He spoke.

" Your birthday brought me here. You did this " I yelled.

" It's not .... my birthday.  It is Its birthday. And we are It's gifts."
He cried but also laughed.

I wasn't sure what was he babbling about.

The masked people gathered around me and used a chainsaw to brutally cut my left leg off. I begged and cried. But those maniacs did it without remorse. It was so painful that I passed out.

When I woke up again those people were chanting some kind of a language that sounded slithery and loud. Almost like Norse and Russian mixed together. They moved a large plate of amputated body parts including heads, Legs, Arms, Hearts, Livers, noses, ears, fingers and even male genitals. The chanting began to sound more distorted and demonic. I thought they are Satanists who tries to summon a demon. But this was no demon. There came some long bloody red fleshy limbs from the ground.  The people stepped back and kneeled before what's coming. The limbs touched the offerings and began to melt them. Then those melted flesh merged with the long limbs. I panicked and yelled and cursed God knows how many.
David turned to me.
" Be ready. It's time. It won't be painful. You will feel free. It wouldn't just kill you if your offering was pure.

The limbs began to move forward more and more until a red shining light began to reach up from where the limbs came. What I just saw was only what I thought I saw. That thing looked absurd and impossible to explain. The head of it was fleshy and I saw human faces moving in it like they were drowning in a sea full of flesh and blood. It had a large bony triangle which were made of Bones floating and rotating around its head. There were four large wings with dozens of raven feathers on its back. And middle of the bony triangles was a red glowing orb. My eyes began to get attracted to it. I couldn't close my eyes. I felt like I'm being dragged across the room toward the orb. Everything around me began to extend and twist. I felt like I'm looking down at the orb downwards. As If I'm hanging and going to fall to the orb. I heard ticking clicking wheezing sounds. I heard wet flesh moving and wings flapping around me. I heard blood dropping continuously. I heard someone eating fresh meat or bones. I heard a swarm of Rooks feeding on flesh. I screamed. I could hear my scream louder like ten times. It sounded distorted and demonic like I'm laughing. I saw the people who did this began to turn towards me and then their heads explode.  I saw David unties himself with one hand and floating towards the red light. I felt like the monster speak to me. It wasn't a sound. It was a feeling that I felt and understood. It wanted me to see it's world. It showed me a glimpse of it and it was a world filled with a sea of blood and forever raining sky with only blood and flesh falling down. The land was only filled with body parts and bones. I saw ravens swarming around and giant snakes swimming on the sea. It told me... told me to tell its name to the world and worship it. Or it will send a great plague to kill us by eating our own flesh. It said its name is Rrmionjgto
. I began to blackout. I heard David screaming in pain like his head is getting crushed. Everything became Red, black and white. I closed my eyes.

After that I woke up outside the hospital. The Hospital was destroyed. It was on fire. And that's where you came and arrested me. You think I set the hospital on fire. Because you couldn't find any dead bodies or any trace of residents.  But I'm telling you. We live in a universe where we don't know anything at all. We are just like Spiders or Rooks that just feast on what we hunt and what we scavenge. But we don't know that there are higher beings are out there that's harder to comprehend. It will make us sound crazy because people only think what they saw is the truth and what someone else tells is absurd and fake. People are just bones covered in flesh just see from the outside. You'll know. You'll see. If you really want to dig deeper.

Maybe you'll end up in a mental Hospital.
