The hospital’s dim light carved the tense lines of Tim’s face. His arm and leg were immobilized in casts, and he shifted irritably on the stiff mattress. Two days of this silent torture already. The door clicked open, and a new roommate was wheeled in—Tim didn’t bother to look. Then, at midnight, the quiet shattered. A dry, metallic rattle jerked Tim awake. His eyes flew open. The bed beside him was empty. Low, taunting laughter seeped from the shadows. The vacant space where his roommate should have been screamed of a presence. Tim’s fury boiled over. 'Show yourself!' he snarled into the dark, the eerie prank feeling far more sinister than anything Toby had ever pulled.
