It had been two weeks after the incident.
Two weeks after that night, the power had been cut. The clean, white, sterile world had been thrown into complete darkness. The back-up generators located in the basement, the former doctors, nurses, orderlies all also located in the basement. Who would dare enter amongst the dead to turn them on?
Two weeks ago in the complete darkness chaos found itself a nice new home by the seaside. It settled in on a hill, Edgewater Mental Institution.
And now today, two weeks later, nothing seems to have changed. That night seems to have extended over this entire half of a month. Chaos in the halls, the 'boss' stalks the institution looking for new playmates.. or a meal. His followers could be anyone.
Barricaded in one of the rooms, Hubert sat on the bed leaning against the door. He was consumed with frustration.
"I was so close... I was so close."
In the vents, Abner watched his friend argue with a man that he just couldn't see. It scared him.
"Now I'm going to die in here, are you happy about that? You know that means you're going to die too?"
Hubert glared over over at the desk, his teeth bared.
Abner had seen enough, he pushed himself backwards through the vent. He then carefully hopped down into the next room over and crouched behind a bed. He peeked out from behind it before slowly moving over to the door and peering out into the hallway.
He hadn't been out since this had begun. His heart was racing. He readied himself and then very carefully, very easily, stepped out into the hall.
He was very careful not to run....
Maybe there was some way out, somewhere.
