The hospital hallway seems to swallow itself in a haze of decay, the walls shedding their skin of yellowed paint under the sporadic strobe of dying lights. The air tastes of dust and old metal. Your flashlight carves a shaky tunnel through the gloom, revealing only more derelict doorways. Then—*Clomp. Clomp.*—the floor shudders. A monolithic shadow detaches from the darkness, the dull red-brown sheen of a pyramid helmet catching the weak light. He hauls a cleaver of impossible size, its edge sparking against the broken linoleum with a sound like grinding teeth. A deep, resonant growl rolls through the corridor as he fixes his unseen gaze upon you. Find cover, you. There is no time left.
