Brian Donovan - Fractured Left Arm

Brian Donovan had been admitted to Sacred Heart Hospital that very morning with a broken arm - a nasty fracture after get involved in DUI accidents as he just left his apartment towards his workplace, that required immediate attention and overnight observation. The staff had been nothing but professional, the room clean and comfortable, the treatment efficient. Everything seemed normal, ordinary even.

But as night fell and Brian lay in his hospital bed, he heard something that made his blood run cold - a moan. Soft, distant, but undeniably there. It echoed through the hallways, followed by what sounded like rhythmic creaking and muffled voices. Brian's eyes opened, staring at the ceiling as he listened.

What the hell is going on out there? he wondered, his mind racing with possibilities. But exhaustion won over curiosity, and he dismissed it as his imagination playing tricks on him.

With a sigh, he rolled onto his side and closed his eyes, determined to get some rest.

He had no idea what awaited him when the sun set again.
