Your senses are reeling. Up to this point you’ve always been the type of person who had both feet on the ground. Now, however, your eyes are telling you things your brain does not want to believe.
Perhaps you really are crazy.
Perhaps they were right to put you in here.
Perhaps… perhaps you really did murder those people in the apartment building.
Even more terrifying is the thought that perhaps those people really were your family.
A scream from the patient in the lobby jolts you out of your reverie and brings you back to the current dilemma. Real or not, you decide, you don’t want anything to do with the monstrosity in the lobby. Even though you’re around the corner, you back away quietly about ten feet down the hall and then, unable to take the sounds from the lobby any longer, you turn and flee with all speed back towards the room where you exited the vent.
You are almost to the room when a hand reaches out from inside a doorway and grabs you roughly by your uniform. You feel yourself whirling around and the air is temporarily knocked out of you as your back hits the wall. You’re about to recover and get ready to fight when you notice that the man who pulled you around the corner is Harold.
He puts one finger to his lips, signifying quiet, and slowly closes the door behind him.
“We have to go,” he whispers. “The door to Ward 32 has opened, and we must get inside before it closes again.”
He stares at you to make absolutely sure you’re listening. “It is imperative that we make as little noise as possible until we get there.”

Notes:
The winner was running away. I WAS hoping you guys would try to go into the lobby area, but I guess I can understand your apprehensions.
MUAHAHAHA.
Harold seems to know what’s up, and against all odds, he seems to be on our side.
If he says we should be quiet, then we can ask him what the hell he’s talking about later, when its more safe.
Harold is craazy. It’s a bad idea to piss off crazy people by asking them questions. Especially when they may know more about what’s going on than you do. I’m all for being quiet and good on this one.
Now if the door to Ward 32 opened and we got sucked into a parallel nightmare universe then Harold on this side most likely is sane… so yeah I am all for keeping my mouth shut on this one for now.
Shiv him later if we have to. 🙂
No love for the stabby death. Alas.
What is this world coming to?
!vote ask him. then stab him 😀
shank shank shank
but I voted the “Ask him what the hell he’s talking about” option instead :[
So, Harold seems certain about whatever the heck he’s talking about…and he’s not sucking bones dry. Why the hell would you not trust a familiar face at this point?
