this isn't really a story of mine
but I heard it since I was a child
and ever since then
I was kind of scared about hospitals
there was an inspector who inspects every room of the hospital
just to see if any visitors are still there
it was 1am and the hospital was five floors high
the man was currently on the third floor
the man walked past the mortuary room
you know the room where dead bodies are kept
until they are buried or cremated
anyway the man walked past the mortuary room
then suddenly he heard something that sounded like
a rusty metal door was being pulled on the floor
of course as his job was to check the rooms
he quickly turned the knob and checked the inside
he flashed his flashlight in every corner
and he saw an open box where a body should be
he walked toward it to check on it
and there was no body inside
and no person inside the room with him
he thought it was his imagination
and maybe someone had left it open
he shoved it back in and headed out
he headed straight for the elevator and pressed the first floor button
when the door was closing he heard something
hey wait I need to get on too
it was a girl wearing a hospital gown
she had a cute face and long hair
the man was confused because it was past midnight
but still opened the door for her
thanks
the little girl said
the man smiled back
then the girl pressed for the second floor
the man asked why she was up this late
the girl said because she just wanted to grab her stuff from her friend's room
since she forgot it earlier while visiting
but before the man said anything
the elevator suddenly went up instead of going down
going up to the fourth floor
the man pressed for the first floor again and thankfully
it went down
but the door opened at the third floor
the man heard something in the distance
it was a man running towards the elevator at full speed
the man quickly pressed aggressively on the elevator commanding it to close the doors
the man was only six feet away before the door closed
the man's side and leaned his back on the wall
the girl was confused and said why didn't you let him in
the man answered still covered in sweat
because that man had a red tag on his wrist
those things are only meant for the ones who are dead already
the little girl's eyes widened and smiled
the man was shocked when the little girl slowly pulled her sleeves up to her elbow
revealing a red tag on her wrist and said
like this one
that's the end of the story
and to this day
it still haunts me just remembering that
