The Hospital of Nightmares

The sounds continued - screams of pain, of fear, coming from inside the forest. Jacob woke in a sudden, but his nightmare had just begun...

It was October - the weather was cool, which was excellent weather to go camping. Jayne, Jacob and their parents went camping in the countryside in a forest. That night, they all heard a scream of pain and crying. The weird sound continued for a long time. The family decided to leave the terrifying forest.

They got in the car and tried to drive out of the forest but they could not find the way out. All the paths they took led them to a hospital, no not a hospital but a hospice. They drove around but continued to see the building. At last, they were too tired and fell asleep in the car. BANG! The car hit a tree and flipped over.

When they woke up, they were no longer in the forest but in a hospital. A doctor and a nurse came in one by one. Then, a policeman came to ask about what happened. Of course, the policeman did not believe their story.

That night, the policeman’s words whirled in Jacob’s mind. The policeman said, “The hospital in the forest you were talking about was demolished a very long time ago...”
