The Ominous Glow That Changed Everything
Officers Stephen and Joshua were wrapping up a slow patrol night when Stephen spotted something chilling—an eerie glow in the window of a long-abandoned hospital. Curious and cautious, they reported it to dispatch. The reply? No backup available. They’d have to check it out alone.

Scaling Fences Into the Unknown
Determined but unnerved, they parked blocks away and scaled a razor-edged fence. Every scrape and cut from the climb only heightened the dread. Once inside, every door was locked. It was as if the hospital didn’t want them in—or didn’t want something to get out.

A Broken Window Leads Them In
They found an emergency staircase and finally spotted a broken window. It was their only way in. They slipped into the pitch-black hospital and decided to split up—despite every horror movie telling them otherwise.

Then the Screams Began
At first, everything seemed dead. But when static consumed their radios and a blood-curdling scream pierced the silence, Stephen knew something had gone horribly wrong. Joshua was in trouble.

Evidence of a Struggle… and a Strange Map
Stephen raced to the last known location. He found Joshua’s shattered walkie-talkie and a reception desk in disarray. But then, a stroke of luck: a faded map of the hospital. The light had likely come from the Intensive Care Unit.

Words in Blood and Circles of Chairs
The ICU wing was unlike the rest. It showed signs of recent use. Chairs were arranged ritualistically, walls scrawled in dried, dark red ink in some unknown language. Every step felt like a step deeper into insanity.

The Door With the Light Beneath It
Just as he turned to leave, Stephen noticed faint light seeping from beneath a locked door. He kicked it open and was met with something straight from hell: hundreds of candles, markings everywhere, and a massive red pentagram dominating the floor.

A Locker… A Thud… A Rescue
A sound from the lockers sent chills down his spine. With one swift swing of his baton, Stephen shattered the lock. Inside was Joshua—bound, gagged, terrified but alive. His eyes told the whole story.

The Cult in Red Robes
As they prepared to flee, they heard humming. Down the hall, a group of robed figures emerged, each holding candles. The moment froze… then erupted into chaos as Stephen and Joshua ran for their lives.

A Frantic Escape to Freedom
They bolted down the stairs and miraculously found an open exit. Adrenaline surging, they scaled the fence again and collapsed into their squad car. Police reinforcements arrived just in time to apprehend the remaining cultists.

Aftermath: The Cult Uncovered
The hospital was declared a crime scene. Authorities confirmed the cult had been using the ICU for rituals tied to recent sacrificial rumors. The unit has since been scrubbed clean—but the terror lingers.

They Gave Up the Badge Forever
Stephen and Joshua turned in their badges the next day. Their minds, scarred by what they saw, would never recover. The hospital now sits heavily guarded, its dark history buried—at least for now.
