[H3orH3D_Script4U]

13th asylum

I myself rate this about a 5/10. If I would rewrite it would be alot more graphic and descriptive and I'm sure alot longer, with probably more backstory. Kind of wrote it when I was messing with blender making 3d computer characters, thinking I could make a game all by myself. LOL yeah I did:rolleyes: that some how didn't work out and I never got back to this. But it was still fun. Would definitely suggest if your willing to read this to go instead to the SCRIPT for H3.

introduction:

This my first fictional story, inspired by a misspent youth, full of years and years, hours and hours of video games and movies. With the plot inspired by the video games resident evil, silent hill, max payne, and a small bit of the suffering mixed into one. The title refers to the thirteen colonies that colonized the united states and the madhouse that has now insued and my insane fictional idea of their solution to the madness. It tells the epic story of a man, who has lost everything, including who he himself, truly is. With the government losing order, and their supporters they try to gain complete control over everyone. The government hatches a plot, thinking that in the end, it will make things better. Soon to find, that it was not one of their best ideas, and that they had unleashed, an unimaginable horror upon everyone including them selves. It all begins when one man stands against them, and when things seem to be as bad, as they can get; things just seem to continue getting worse, and worse. Which end up leading to an epic night, of gruesome horrors with the main character and his newly acquired companion fighting for their lives, just trying to survive the night? In, which it encounters, a climactic and sudden end. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Massacre


its 2012 and his name is mike loomis, and this is his nightmare. It all began when michaels life began falling apart. The world has been corrupted by greed and a hypocritical government that controls and manipulates the citizens lives at their discretion, and michael is the only one that sees it, and try’s to stand up against it; and the government feels michael needs to pay for it, but michael won't go down without a fight. If he only knew, how dark it really was going to become. Michael might have just accepted his life the way it was, even after he had lost everything. It all began on the night of june 28, michael came home from a long day at work, were he is a correctional officer at the state prison. Michael arrives in front of his house, to find the front door wide open, with the framing of the door cracked and busted, with pieces of the framing splintered, and laying all over the floor. Michael rushes into the house running up the stairs, screaming for his wife and daughter, hoping that nothing has happened to them. Michael opens the door to the master bedroom and there is no sight of his family. As michael walks down the hall toward his daughters room, one of his daughters toys that her voice is recorded on, begins going off. Saying, "i love my daddy" "i love my daddy"(repeating) as it ominously fades out, with a robotic tone getting deeper, as the battery dies. An eerie feeling rushes through michael, sending chills up his spine. Michael opens the door slowly, and finds his wife and daughter lying in pools of blood, with gun shots to their heads. Michael falls to his knees holding his lifeless family in his arms, crying and letting out a blood curdling scream. Consumed and blinded by the emotions running through him, michael failed to realize that the intruder was still in the room with him. As the intruder comes out from behind the door; with michaels back turned, the intruder comes up from behind; michael turns his head to see him, but it is too late, he strikes michael in the side of the jaw with a swift blow , braking michaels jaw , and knocking him unconscious, and that is when the real nightmare begins. Michael awakens in a dark room lying in a hospital bed 7 months later with his face wrapped in gauze, and his left hand, handcuffed to the rail of the bed, with no memory of what had happened, or of his life before the incident. A nurse walks into the room, michael begins trying to speak, to get the nurses attention, only to find that he cannot, because the immense pain in his jaw. "groaning" the nurse jumps, shocked to find that michael has awoken from his coma. The nurse runs out of the room and calls the police, letting them know michael has came to. The nurse comes back in the room and begins tending to michael, he finally manages to fight through the pain in his jaw, and asks the nurse, “what happened to me”? She hesitates, and says “i cannot talk about everything” ”, right know” ”, “but you are recovering from a gunshot wound to your head” “, and you have had multiple surgeries to repair your jaw” ”, from the damage caused” ”, and also from the removal process of the bullet fragments”. “ we were not able to remove a few fragments from your brain” “, so you will probably suffer from migraines’ and lapses of memory”. “we drained the blood that was on your brain” “, and left a part of your skull removed for a several days until the swelling of your brain resided”. “it truly is a miracle that you are alive”, and as she says that, the police come in. The nurse unwraps the bandages from michaels head, and hands him a mirror. Michael is in horror, to find his face horribly disfigured. His head is shaved, with two huge scars, with one leading from his right cheek, all the way down past the ridge of his jaw, and underneath his chin; and the other huge scar on the left side of the top of his head, that stretches from the front of his hairline, to the back of his head. The police then unlock michaels handcuffs and asks michael, if he thinks that he can walk, michael gives the police a nod letting them know, that he believes he can. The police then cover michaels head in a dark cloak, fearing that the bright lights of the outside might cause michael to have a seizure. As they lift michael out of the bed, they handcuff his hands behind his back, and escort him out of the hospital and down to the station. When the police remove the cloak from his face, michael finds himself in an interrogation room, with a dim light in the corner. Confused and curious as to why he is here, michael asks the detective; "what am i doing here” “, and what has happened”? The man starts with, "well im detective jacobs and you can stop pretending like you don't know what happened”. “you killed your wife and daughter, and failed at killing yourself”, and all of a sudden memories of michaels family come rushing back in, an overwhelming feeling of emotions take over, bursting into tears; michael says, "my family is dead”, “i couldn’t have”, “i wouldn’t have”. The detective butts in, and says well, "we have a cell for you and you'll see the judge tomorrow” “, but i don't remember anything your talking about,” michael explains! With that, they escort michael to his cell. The next day, michael sees the judge after meeting with his lawyer, that has informed him, that when the police arrived at michaels house, they found him in his daughter's bedroom, with both; his wife and daughter shot in their heads, and michael suffering from a gunshot wound underneath his chin, with the weapon in his hand. The lawyer has told michael that his only hope of avoiding the death penalty, is to plead insanity; michaels lawyer has told him, since he has no memory of the incident, and looking like he does, that it will not be hard, for the jury to believe that he is insane. After the jury comes out with the verdict, the judge looks michael in the eyes, takes a deep breath and says; “this is one of the most hideous, and unimaginable crimes i have ever seen in all my days” “, and death is too good for you”. “therefore, in complete confidence and conviction, i sentence you to a life of solitary confinement in the state psychiatric hospital” ”, with all the sick psychos you belong with” ”, to rot and live your life, with what you have done weighing on your conscious”. “may god have mercy on your soul”, and with a bang of the gavel it was set in stone; michael had murdered his family, and tried to kill himself. Michael became a zombie, and empty of every human emotion. Completely empty inside after a few weeks in his padded room with a straight jacket on, michael did not think things, could get much worse. However, michael had no idea, on how dark and twisted things were about to get, and how the reality he thought he knew, or what little piece of sanity he had left, was all truly an illusion.

I'll post more if anyone wants more of the story. Just critique away, be hateful whatever, moderators I give permission. I think I can take it! And if you want me to stop posting so much, say it also. Need to know if I'm crossing a line myself. :p


O YEAH! MIKE LOOMIS, had to brainstorm hard on that one. LOL :cool:

Post as much as you want, that's what this section is for... I don't really want to critique your work too much but you should look out for a decent local creative writing course or something, help get your ideas in order. Like with this story, its a really simple concept that has been done a million times but its hugely emotive too and I think you missed alot of opportunities to paint a picture with your description of events and landscape..... Also, just as an aside...Why did Michael break into a house he had keys for? :p

[H3orH3D_Script4U]

I wrote this a few years ago, it's definetely a rough draft. Like the script I attempted, in my mind they're a different wiriting process. In the Halloween Script I tried to let the scene headings, describe the scene and paint a picture as much as possible, without having too in the story, because I know they have to be a certain length, to even get a look. If you don't know what that is, it's the (INT./EXT.) to let them know if they are shooting the scene inside or outside when they shoot. INTERIOR/EXTERIOR.

Michael in this one comes home to find his door already busted open, with the framing busted, then finds his family, and the intruder is still there. This one when I wrote it. I definetely attempted. Like I was playing as a character in a game, and quickly jotted down ideas, and put him in places that would cause conflicts that are out there at times. At the end if I could atleast get the idea out there as I portrayed it. I would play the game. obviously it's more the original resident evil more then anything. Ecspecially the ending, if you know it I ruined it, but I definetely didn't attempt it to go there, it's just where it led itself, as did the complete story to me had no idea where it was going to go. :eek:

And NAH, Critique away that's what I put it on here for, need help with where I'm failing. I appreciate it! Truly it can also give me a chance to clean it up or explain something you might not understand or mis interpret. In the halloween script also did'nt describe the landscape as much like I said accept with the headings, because I wanted to leave that up to the audience to do in their mind. Since majority who know the story can do that themselves and either put it in ZOMBIES style or CARPENTERS. :(

JK, I'm not sad :p

Yeah I got tons of ideas, if I could just atleast get the picture out of my head and in words. I guess that's all I'm really trying. A ghost writer or editor, that's what they are for. right? I know I could use one or possibly even both.

chapter 2: The nightmare begins


february 15, 2013: 11:00pm , michael awoke in a cold sweat to find the door of his padded cell opening slowly, but there is nobody there, an ominous feeling overcomes michael almost like it is still a dream, but it feels so real, “maybe i do belong here”, michael says to himself. Lightning flashes out the one small window that is covered with bars, revealing the blood covered walls of michaels room like there has been a massacre, panic overcomes him. Michael slowly walks out the door. To find the hall littered with the dead bodies of patients, guards, officers, and doctors with their throats and wrists slit, some hanging from nooses on the light fixtures above, and some are laying on the hospital beds, with their chest plates cracked open, like they were operated on, by some mad doctor.michaels first thought is that he has to get out of here, but it is a huge sanitarium, sixteen floors and as wide as a football stadium and of course michaels on the top floor. What could have happened to everyone, and why did it spare michael? As michael looks closer at the bodies, he notices that one of the bodies has a note attached to it. Michael cannot grab it because he is still in his straight jacket; after a few minutes of struggling, michael pulls his best houdini, and finds his way out of contraption. He then reaches down and grabs the note off the guard, it reads. (guards note) " i hope my sacrifice in some way pays for all the torture and sickness, that is taking place here, i don't know what to do, i can't take living with what i know anymore. I know that their is no way i am going to make it out of here alive anyway. They have been drugging the patients, and trying to control them with experimental drugs, that they want to use on the public to make them more cooperative with their agenda, whatever that may be, but every drug they have used has just made the patients more violent, and a lot stronger, almost like its a steroid. We had a patient suffer some kind of fatal reaction to the drug that they delivered 2 days ago, and when dr. Rollins was harvesting his organs for examination of the chemicals effects after the patients death, the patients eyes opened, he sat up; with his chest cut wide open, and started attacking the dr. . . . He was dead, how was that possible. I unloaded my clip into his head, but the scariest thing is that it took four bullets before he ceased attacking the dr. . . . I was terrified at what just had happened, and i was even more terrified because, we had already administered the drug on all the patients in the entire hospital. We called the government branch that manufactured the drug and let them know what had happened, they told us to stop injecting the patients with the drug, and let them know if we have anymore incidents. Two days went by; and we started wondering why none of the other patients were dying, or showing any of the symptoms. We called the government branch back and let them know, we have not had any more incidents, and it might not have been the drug that caused it, and they sounded relieved and told us to continue. But then it started; i was on the 14th floor and one of my favorite patients johnny started biting himself, and banging his head on the door. He continued, until the glass broke, he then picked up a broken piece of glass, and began gouging out his eyes, he then reached down, cutting open his stomach, from his chest all the way down to his waist, spilling out his intestines’ all over the floor, he fell over dead. We called the police, they finally arrived to file a report of the incident, and take the body to the morgue; but as they started with the process, johnny got up and started to strangle one of the officers with his intestines’. In a panic, i grabbed the axe that was in the emergency case, and hit johnny in the head with it, stopping him instantly. As soon as i did that, all of the patients doors sprung open. And at the end of the long hallway i see dr. Rollins, covered in blood with his throat slit from ear to ear, pulling the emergency switch, releasing the locks on all the doors, and causing all the lights to go out, except a few emergency exit lights, and doing so with a evil grin on his face. Terrified; me and the other officers ran to the closest stairway, and as we started to head down, i notice that patients were coming up the stairs, so we ran up here to the 16th floor and barricaded the doors, had dr. Rollins taken the drug himself, why would he do that. Right now, the officers are trying to hold off the patients, but there are way too many and they are becoming unstoppable, im not going to let them kill me, that is for sure. If you find this let my wife and kids know im sorry, and i love them (end note). As michael finishes the note, he notices the gun in the guards hand so he grabs it, the gun is still warm, like it had just been fired “, is that what woke me up” “, and not the thunder, michael silently asks himself. He stands back up after crouching and picking up the gun. With the lightning flashing through the windows creating a silhouette on the wall in front of michael, he notices a man on a gurnee behind him, beginning to sit up. Michael quickly turns to see a man, with a completely ripped open chest, with no organs running at him. Horrified, michael empties his clip from his newly acquired gun, into the mans head bringing the man to a stop, the man falls on top of michael knocking him to the ground. Michael gets back up and scavenges, through the guard and the two officers bodies, trying to find more bullets, but there are none. He grabs an axe from the emergency case, and now begins his descent into the darkness.

chapter 3: Trapped
As michael began down the hallway toward the elevator, he stopped and remembered the emergency switch has been flipped, so the elevators are not going to be an option for him, so he is going to have to begin his descent out of this nightmare through the stairwell. As michael reaches the door to the stairwell, standing in a dim lit light of the red exit sign above the door. He hears a loud thud behind him, frightened; michael turns to see that one of the bodies hanging from a noose on the light fixtures has fallen. Relieved, michael turns back and begins heading down, and as he does, michael hears a groaning sound, coming from the man that has just fallen from the fixture. Michael looks back to see the man rising too his feet, and as the man is rising; multiples of the deceased patients throughout the corridor, begin getting to their feet. In a panic; michael slams the door to the stairwell behind him, and notices a fire hose raveled up in a wheel, michael unravels the hose, and quickly wraps it around the handle of the door and the wheel, twisting it into a secure knot, hoping it will hold long enough for him to escape, and get ahead of them. Michael rushes down the stairs; to find that the stairs leading to the 14th floor have been completely barricaded, with desks, chairs, filing cabinets and splintered pieces of broken wood. Having no way down, michael realizes that, he is going to have to try the stairway on the other side of the building, hoping that it is clear of debris and patients, so that he can get out of this madness. As michael approaches the door to 15th floor, he hears crying that sounds, like a woman on the other side of the door. Not wanting to frighten her; michael slowly opens the door, but as he does, it squeaks with a high pitch; qriiiick, michael sees a nurse; in a panic, the nurse looks up at michael, terrified realizing he is a patient, and thinking he is one of them, she runs around the corner, then michael hears a door slam. Looking down the extremely long, dark hallway at the other set of stairs at the end. The entire floor looks deserted; and right as michael approaches to turn the corner to follow the nurse; the stairway door at the end of the hall flies open, slamming against the wall, piles of bloody patients, come filing through the door. Right then, michael also hears loud footsteps coming from the stairway, which he had just come down; the patients on the floor above had finally broken through his, poor attempt at slowing them down. Petrified, michael shakes off the terror, pulls himself together, and rushes to the door, where the nurse had barricaded herself. Michael tries opening the door, to find that it is locked; he then hears a muffled crying on the other side of the door. Repeating, "i don't want to die”; “i don't want to die”. Michael rushes to a large information window attached to the room. Peering into an empty darkened room, that looks empty, in a frightened scared voice, michael begins trying to convince the nurse to let him in, and that he is not one of them. Asking the nurse; if she, had heard any of them talking, instead of just groaning, and tells the nurse, that packs of them are coming down the hall after me right now, and that their going to get me. Panicking, saying “please let me in” “please let me in” (repeating), pleading with the nurse to let me him the room. Michael then hears a (click), the nurse has unlocked the door, michael opens to find a dark security guard room, full of patient files and patient information, lit only by a small flashlight in the corner, belonging to a decapitated guard, that is slumped over beside it, and with the nurse curled up under the desk. Michael grabs the nurse out, from under the desk, she screams; he asks her to help him push the desk against the door, they get the door secured, michael asks the nurse her name, and to tell him what in the hell is going on here, exactly. Crying hysterically, the nurse tells him, that her name is samantha price, and that she attends to the patients that are sick, or harm them selves, in the building, and that today is her first day on the job. Samantha then lets michael know that she has no idea, what is happening here, so michael hands her the note that he had found on the dead guard upstairs, to clear some things up for her. Samantha reads it; and says, "oh my god i had no idea that they were doing this to the patients” ”; i would've never applied to work here if i knew this was going on”. Samantha asks michael, “who are you” ”, why are you a patient here” “, and what are we going to do to get out of here”? Michael tells her his name, and then begins telling the story about his wife and daughter, and what they say, he has done. As michael is telling samantha, he begins to see samantha is growing more and more, frightened and unsecure about being alone in this room with him. Michael tries explaining to samantha, that he has no memory of what happened, or his life before it, and how it is extremely painful for him to know, that his wife and daughter are now dead. Michael lets samantha know that there is no possible way, that he could have done this, and that he was, set up for some reason. Still unsure samantha hesitates, but decides to put her trust in michael, and work together, to get out of this hell, that we are now trapped in. A somewhat calming feeling overcomes them both, knowing they are not alone in this nightmare anymore, and if they work together, and use their brains, they might just be able to get out of here, alive! Michael quickly scans the room, and beside the officer, he notices a shotgun lying on the floor, michael rushes to grab it, and checks to see if it is loaded. It is, but he notices that they are non-lethal rubber bullets, frustrated and disheartened, michael crumbles to the floor sliding down the wall; banging his head against it. Then michael hears samantha say, "hurry come here", who is now holding the flashlight, shining it at a cabinet “, i think this is an ammunition cabinet”, samantha says. However, it is locked, michael rushes back to the guard, and shuffles through his pockets, finding a key ring, with tons of keys on it. Michael hurries back over to the cabinet, and miraculously, the very first key he tries opens the cabinet. Samantha mumbles "somebody must be on our side", michael opens it, to find, two cases of rubber bullets, and two cases of live ammunition, one of them being shotgun shells, and the other handgun rounds for the hand gun; that he got off the dead guard upstairs. In addition, there is a satchel, which they can now carry useful supplies in. Relieved now feeling like rambo, michael explains that we need to sit tight, and wait for the infected patients on this floor, to clear out, or give up looking for us. As he finishes saying that, a pack of slumbering patients, begin staggering slowly by the large information window. Samantha silently squeals; as she does, michael covers her mouth with his hand, as they both curl under the desk together. Samantha drops the flashlight, it slowly begins rolling across the floor, and then the battery dies, shutting out the light. The patients have noticed the movement, and begin banging on the window, michael draws the shotgun up aiming it at them, but he notices that their struggling to get through the plexiglas window, he lowers it, thinking maybe they'll give up. With the patients now banging on the door and the window, a large, lurking, shadowy figure comes up behind the patients, picks up one of the smaller patients, and hurls him through the window, plopping it out of its frame. As they begin pouring into the room, the patient, which was thrown through the window, starts getting back to his feet, samantha fires the pistol, which michael had just handed to her, shooting the patient in the head; exploding it all over the other patients that are now climbing through the window. Michael notices a tank in the corner that looks, almost like an oxygen tank; he fires the shotgun, exploding the tank, and decimating the patients. With their body parts all over the room, and the only one left, being the big lurking figure outside the window, not being able to fit through, mike and sam remain safely inside the room, and unload all their bullets into the big creature, bringing him to a bloody end. Realizing now, that all they have left is the rubber bullets, and shaking off the extremely gruesome event, samantha and michael slide the desk from the door, and exit the room. Holding samantha’s hand slowly peeking around the corner and down the hall, michael sees that it is clear. Even though it is clear, michael is still frightened, that the explosion might have drawn some unwanted attention to them. Mike and sam run to the stairway, only to find that it is also, inaccessible and completely blocked off. They both head back to the hallway that contains the room they were just hiding in, and notice at the end of the hall, that their is a fire escape outside the window. Mike and sam rush to the window, and notice that it only leads to the floor below, the rest has collapsed and is no longer there. Samantha shaking, and extremely frightened, lets michael know; that she is afraid of heights, michael then tells her, that it will be ok, and that he will go first, and then she can follow him down, and he will cradle her as they both go down together. Samantha overcomes her fear, and they both begin their way down the ladder, reaching the window, michael peers in; and it looks empty, besides a few dead bodies of guards, doctors, and nurses sprawled about. Michael busts out the window and climbs in, turning around; michael reaches for samantha’s hand, and as soon as he grabs her hand, the ladder pops from its hinges and crashes to the ground 14 floors down.

[H3orH3D_Script4U]

With samantha frightened, shrieking and hanging out the window, michael manages to pull her inside, with samantha collapsing on top of michael, visibly shaken, but relieved to be now, safely inside. (if you call this safe)

chapter 4: Clarity


achingly michael and samantha pick themselves up off the ground, one step closer to getting out of this. They find their way down the hall, but right next to the guard room, michael looks into a padded cell, where he finds a horribly mutilated body, with both its arms full of syringes. Then michael takes a closer look at his face, and realizes that he is extremely familiar to him, michael knows that he has never seen the person here before; and with his case of amnesia, he has no clue as to where, he recognizes the person from. Curious, and wanting to find answers, thinking if he could just remember who the person is, that just maybe it will jog his memory. Michael then recalls the guards room from the floor above; and remembers that it had patient files and information in it. Remembering that, samantha and michael both rush into the guards room, where samantha rummages through the ammunition cabinet, refilling their little ammo situation. Michael rips through the filing cabinet, and by finding the patients room number on file, michael is able able to locate the patients name; he reads the patients name, and then all of a sudden michael’s memories come flooding back in. The patients name, billy loomis, filled with sadness, michael continues reading, as he reminisces at the same time. The patient was michaels brother, they did everything together, they both worked at the prison together, michaels brother, was his shadow and went everywhere he went. However, why was his brother, here as a patient? Did michaels brother take what happened to him, that hard? Just then michael sees another file; that says, (patient evaluation): June 30 2012: It reads; we have orders from the top, that billy is highly unstable, completely unattached from reality, and extremely suicidal. Billy has been ranting on about "i killed them” “, i set him up” “, if i did not do it, they would kill my boys, and me” “, im sorry”, "im sorry” “, im sorry" (repeating). As michael is reading this tears begin filling his eyes, and start pouring down his face. Michael begins filling with anger, because he knows exactly what billy is referring too. Samantha notices michael is distraught, but michael continues on reading: When we ask billy who, and what he is talking about, he will not answer us, billy just bangs his hands against his head and repeats, "im sorry”. He is extremely violent, and just sits in his cell, rocking back and forth, billy is too far gone, and there is no hope in bringing him back, or introducing him back into society. (end document) michael consumed with rage, and wanting to pound billy for what he has done. Michael fights back his emotions, and notices there is another document in billy’s file, dated just two days ago, that goes on to read, (patient cleansing): February 13th 2013: We have been informed of the current situation our government is trying to enforce on the populace. We have our orders to exterminate the patients with a new drug that will send a chemical to their brain receptors, putting them into a coma, and that we have to allow them, to starve themselves too death. As michael is reading this, he silently starts thinking to himself; “that just maybe the bullet fragments, that are still lodged his brain, might have acted like a blocker to the receptors, and may have prevented him from receiving the full dosage of the chemical, that would have caused him too become one of them. Michael continues reading on: The other option we have; is that the military will enforce martial law, and massacre who ever they feel, are not useful in society, or anyone that resist, or fights against them. They feel this is the only peaceful solution to the situation. They informed us that billy loomis, and michael loomis are being contained, because the fear, that they would not cooperate with this endeavour, and they would cause a problem to this peaceful solution. His brother, michael loomis has already refused to cooperate, and threatened to expose this protocol to the public, so we contained them both, for the better good. The asylum has just received a transmission from the prison telling us that we have the governments permission to begin administering the drug, and that the prison will begin administering the drug on the inmates there at 0900 hours. We have also been informed that the government is going to secretly expose this drug to all the families, which are on the government food program. The transmission ended with “, may god rest there souls” ”, may this bring a new beginning” ”, and a brighter future”. (end document) in shock, and horrified by these revelations, and consumed by emotions, michael rushes into billy’s cell. As samantha curious and confused reads the documents. Michael begins pounding on billy's deceased chest with both hands, shouting; “why” “why” “, we could've fought this together”, with the last pound of billy's chest, billy’s eyes open; lying flat on his back, he hurls michael across the room, slamming him against the wall. Samantha rushes into the room after hearing the commotion, to find billy holding michael, by his throat with one hand, several feet off the ground. Seeing that michael’s face is beginning to turn blue, samantha reloads her pistol; billy slowly turns his head, looking towards samantha, still holding michael by his throat. Samantha shoots, hitting billy right between the eyes, and with that billy is dead again. As they both fall to the floor with michael gasping for air, samantha runs over; rubbing michael on his back, emotionally saying, "i can't believe this is happening” ”, and why would they do this to you, and everybody else". Now knowing that samantha has read the documents and now knows what is going on, she looks in michaels eyes and says, “im so sorry about your family, and your brother,” “you don't belong here, im so sorry i doubted you,” “but we can't stay here, we have to get out” . With that michael and samantha sprung to their feet and headed to the nearest stairway praying, that it was not blocked off or infested with the infected patients. Michael also began to worry that it may be filled with infected civilians; not knowing to how far this nightmare has spread.

Chapter 5: Family matters

samantha and michael cautiously open the door to the stairwell, looking at the massive amount of debris piled up, that blocks the path leading up to the floor above. They noticed, crushed and dismembered patients tangled in the carnage, showing the ruthlessness, and lack of self concern, that the infected patients have for themselves. Samantha speaks up, it is almost as they were building the barricade, the patients did not even hesitate or slow down, they just continued crushing each other, and mashing themselves, becoming a part of the blood covered barricade. Realizing how insane their strength is, michael begins thinking to himself, and recalls all the syringes in billy’s arms, that just maybe the more of the dosage the patients take, or are given the stronger and more dangerous they become. Thinking of this, michael tells samantha, that we have to find the medical supply room, and destroy the rest of the drugs, to prevent anymore harm, or this situation from getting any worse. Michael then asks samantha, if she knows where the supply room is located; and samantha reminds him, that it is just her first day here, and that she has no idea. However, she does remember a layout of the building, hanging on the wall in the lobby. Realizing that is their next goal, and they need to find that supply room as soon as possible. Michael and samantha peer over the rail, glancing down the poorly lit, narrow, seemingly endless flights of stairs, that lay ahead of them. It is quiet, and most importantly, nothing is blocking their path, with no sight of the horrors that they encountered on the floors above. Michael an samantha start heading down; and as they reach the stairs perched between the 11th floor, and the 10th floor, mike and sam, hear rustling and groaning below them. They look down too see the mangled infected patients, climbing up the flights below, with the larger infected patients, slinging the smaller ones over the rail. With the little guys bouncing off the metal with loud, pings all the way down, splattering in pools of blood, on the ground floor below. Michael and samantha rush to the exit of the 10th floor stairway, to see the hallway littered with the infected patients just swaying and standing all about, blood dripping from their bodies; almost as if they were waiting for mike and sam. Michael notices an elevator shaft completely exposed with the doors nowhere in sight. He explains to samantha, that we are going too have to slide down the cable too escape, and reach the ground floor. Michael can see the hesitation in sam’s face, but she knows that they have no other option, to escape this alive. By now all the slumbering infected patients, on the 10th floor have noticed their presence, and begin limping towards them. Michael tosses the satchel with their supplies down the shaft; hearing it bang on the busted elevator doors, that now lay at the bottom of the shaft. Leaning in and looking down, michael notices at the bottom, that the doors of the elevator are open, because of the light shining through. Mike and sam look at each other and mumble, "lucky us" as samantha climbs on michaels back, they leap for the cable. Grabbing it firmly and holding on for dear life, michael begins climbing down the worn, splintered cable, glancing up as they descend. Noticing the infected patients, are still coming toward the opening above, and as the patients reach the edge, they do not stop. The patients begin hurling themselves down the shaft, trying to knock michael and samantha from their grip of the sharp pointy cable, which is now digging into michaels hands, causing them to bleed down his forearm. As patient after patient, fly past them, and are slamming onto the shinny, busted up doors below, covering them, with their blood, and piling on top one another. All of a sudden a patient latches on to samantha, and begins trying to yank mike and sam from the cable, that would certainly lead to their deaths. After a struggle, samantha manages to bite off the infected patients thumb, dislodging his grip, sam then head butts him knocking him free, the patient bounces from side to side, of the shaft, down to a mound of bodies, which now lay below. The patients finally stop their assault; only because there are no more towering above them, michael did not think the patients would ever stop coming. As the two reach the 3rd floor, michael begins getting tired, and his grip begins slipping, with his hands soaked in blood and sweat, michaels grip then slips and they begin sliding out of control, down the cable, squeezing as tight as he can, and sliding faster and faster, michael can now feel his hand beginning to burn. As michael feels the flesh melting from his hands to the cable, mike and sam, slam into the pile of bodies at the bottom of the shaft, which act like a padded pillow of pulverized bones and flesh. They gather themselves, and get too their feet. Michael begins digging through the mashed up, bloody corpses, looking for their supply satchel, which is now underneath all this disgusting, bloody mess before him. As he is digging through body after body, michael finally finds the satchel. However, samantha notices one of the piled up bodies behind him, is not dead. The partly decapitated patient, rises too his feet, and starts lurking towards michael. Samantha quickly picks up a small stone stand, just outside the elevator opening, and smashes the abomination in the head, severing it completely from its body, which it was barely attached too, to begin with. Michael then stumbles’ his way over the corpses, and the decapitated straggler, and out the elevator shaft into the hallway. Mike and sam run through the halls towards the lobby, with michael following samantha in agonizing pain, from his shredded bloody hands. Michael asks samantha to stop, and tells sam that he needs to wrap his hands, and that they are killing him. Samantha reminds michael, that they are heading to the medical supply room, where they will be able to tend to michael’s hands, and get him some pain killers. Samantha and michael finally, walk into the lobby’s lounge area, with the layout of the building, plastered on the wall, which happens to be right next to the exit of the building. (very tempting) as michael looks at the map, he finds that the supply room is located in the basement of the building, which is only accessible by one stairway, which is located in the northern part of the floor, which they are on currently. Feeling somewhat relieved, that mike and sam do not have to climb back up through hell. Michael notices something has caught samantha's eye, samantha looks over by the small section, that is set up for toddlers, and visitors. Samantha gasps, then shouts out loud, nooooo! With an obvious sadness in sam’s voice, michael ask samantha, what is wrong? Samantha crumbles into michaels arms with her head on his chest, explaining, "i completely forgot with everything that has happened” “,that my husband and daughter were coming to have lunch with me” “, how could i forget that”, with samantha in a panic, michael asks samantha, “what makes you think that there here”? Samantha then points to a small doll, that is sprawled on an empty chair and explains; “that’s my daughters favorite toy” “, and she takes it everywhere she goes” “, she never leaves the house without it” “, and she would not have left it behind, without something bad happening”. Trying to ease samantha’s mind, michael mention’s; that just maybe her family got out of here, when the emergency alarm sounded, by heading right out the front doors. Looking somewhat relieved with that possibility, samantha grabs the doll, and shoves into the satchel. Samantha runs to the front desk, grabs the phone, and starts dialing her home phone, it rings and rings, no answer. The answering machine picks up, playing a message that the whole family had recorded together, samantha slams the phone down, hanging up. Starting to panic, samantha then tries again. This time her husbands cell phone, but the same thing, it just keeps ringing and ringing, finally her husbands voicemail picks up saying, “you have reached jason price, and i can’t get to my phone right now, if you leave a message i will call you back. Maybe!” samantha decides to leave a brief message, speaking into the phone visibly shaken, samantha asks “oh honey, are you there” ”, are you ok” ”, where are you”, samantha lets him know that we are looking for them, and that we are going to find them. Samantha then ends the message with; “please tell alyssa, that mommy loves her” ”, and that everything will be ok”. Samantha hangs up the phone, and tells michael that they have to find her family. Trying to console samantha, michael gives samantha a hug and tells her that we will find them, and that everything will be ok. First, let us get to the supply room, to take care of my hands, and destroy the rest of the drugs, that caused this mess. Samantha nods, then michael, and samantha both begin heading down the hall, toward the supply room. They reach the door, leading down to the supply room, noticing that it is locked from the inside, michael shouts, “let us in we're not infected”, no answer, he shouts again; “if your in there, back away from the door, i’m going to shoot the lock and come in”, no answer. Michael pulls the trigger, blasting a hole in the door, and releasing the lock. The door slowly swings open, revealing a dark set of stairs, winding down to the supply room.

as samantha and michael are making their way down the stairs, they hear a slight whimpering, samantha immediately recognizes the noise, and realizes that it is her daughter alyssa, who is now crying, and hiding in a corner behind some boxes. Samantha rushes down the rest of the stairs, and says; “oh honey” ”, oh honey” ”, come out, it is mommy”, alyssa comes running out, wearing a little, sunday school dress. Terribly frightened and crying, alyssa jumps into her mothers arms, saying, “im sorry mommy, i should've stayed outside like daddy told me mommy”. Samantha replies, overcome with emotion, “its ok baby, im just happy you’re ok, you are safe now and you don't have to worry anymore”. Samantha then asks, “where did your daddy go”? “honey”! Alyssa replies, still crying, “when the alarm started buzzing” ”, and all the lights started flashing” ”, daddy went looking for you mommy” ”, he told me to go outside, and wait for daddy and mommy to come out”. “i waited” ”, and waited” ”, and no one ever came” ”, i got scared mommy” ”, so i came back in looking for you” ”, but i saw a scary man covered in blood mommy” ”, he chased me mommy” ”, i ran in here” ”, i locked the door” ”, then you found me mommy”. Samantha, just overcome with happiness that alyssa is ok, she cradles alyssa in her arms rubbing her head and says; “it will be ok honey” ”, im proud of you” ”, we are going to find daddy now” ”, it will be ok”. In addition, with that, michael begins scavenging looking for ointment for his hands, after awhile of shuffling through the enormous amount of supplies, michael finally finds some cream. Michael puts the cream on his hands, and wraps them in gauze. Samantha manages to find michael a strong painkiller, and she tells him to take these. Michael takes the pills, and within minutes, he is not feeling a thing except extremely calm and peaceful. They see a large amount of boxes with a government seal on them, knowing they must be the drugs, michael tells samantha, “we have to burn them” ”, and destroy them” ”, all of them”. Samantha agrees, but says, “we have to find my husband, jason first”, and with that; samantha hears a familiar sound, it is jason’s phone, playing a specific ringtone, that samantha recognizes immediately. It is coming from the opposite side of the shutter door, which is attached to the loading dock, where they deliver supplies coming into the building. Alyssa speaks up, “mommy” ”, mommy” “that is daddy's phone mommy” ”; i thought i heard it ringing, before you and that man found me mommy”. Samantha hesitating starts heading toward the shutter door, with michael and alyssa hanging back. As samantha gets closer to push the button, which is on the wall, right beside the shutter, to open it. Jason’s’ phone stops ringing. With samantha’s hands shaking nervously, knowing that no one answered the phone, samantha presses the button. As the shutter slowly rises, samantha lets out a loud scream, “oh no, no, no, honey”. Seeing jason, lying in a pool of blood, splattered on the ground, suffering from the trauma of an extreme fall. Samantha rushes over to jason, kneeling over top of him, rubbing the hair that is soaked in blood from his forehead. Realizing jason is dead, samantha looks up, to see a window, on the 13th floor busted out; realizing jason must have been thrown out the window, while trying to find samantha. Samantha crying, asking jason, “why didn’t you just leave”, michael covers alyssa's face, to hide her from the traumatic scene, and takes her away. Alyssa not being able to recognize that it is her father lying on the ground, asks, "when are we going to find my daddy", michael struggling for words, speechless, not knowing what to say, replies, "soon". Samantha extremely distraught, from another intensely traumatic experience, manages to pull herself together for alyssa. Samantha walks back in; with a fire in her eyes and says, “lets burn this fucking place to the ground”. With that, samantha and michael begin setting fire, to the inner walls of the first floor, in hoping that the fire, would spread throughout the interior of the building. Samantha and michael then rush down the stairs and light up the drugs, which are extremely flammable and flare up completely, within seconds. As sam and mike head up the incline of the loading dock ramp, exiting the nightmare that they had just endured, past jason’s lifeless body. With michael, carrying alyssa, as she tightly grasps her doll in her arms, hiding her face from the gruesome scene, of her fathers body, motionless on the ground. Samantha reaches in jason’s pockets, and grabs the keys to their vehicle. Samantha then notices a folded envelope, in the chest pocket of jason’s jacket addressed to their home, which has the same government seal, which was on the boxes. Samantha gently kisses jason’s forehead, she then looks into his eyes, one last time and says, "i love you". The trio makes their way to the car, realizing there is not a vehicle on the road and nobody insight. They safely reach the car without a problem, in what looks like a ghost town. As the three of them get miles away, with samantha refusing to look back, samantha begins reading the letter inside the envelope. Which reads, (public notice) dear civilian, we are running a military sweep of the city, gathering all the dangerous and violent elements that have been destroying our peaceful community, we have been monitoring all the citizens with wire taps, and undercover surveillance. It has been determined by us, that you are not a threat, and are still useful in society. We ask you to quickly gather your family, and evacuate the city, to the military base located on the outskirts of town. Do not mention this to no one, other than your own household, at the risk that you would alert someone that is not on our safe list. If you show up at the base with someone that is not on our list, you and your family will be considered a traitor and charged with treason, and immediately contained, separated, and thrown into military holding cells. We regret that it had to come to this, but we will make sure, that this situation comes to a swift, and peaceful end. We look forward to seeing you and your immediate family. We will begin the sweep starting at 9pm tonight. Thank you for your cooperation and good day. (end letter) samantha letting out a sigh as she finishes the letter. Michael glances in the rear view mirror, too see the asylum lighting up the night sky in a blazing inferno, which can be seen for miles around. They had finally escaped the nightmare, but michael was soon, about to find himself alone again, and thrown back into the madness, and realize this was truly far from over.

Chapter 6: Guns a blazing


as michael pulls onto samantha’s street, which is located in a nice, upper class neighborhood, he notices the streets are deserted, and the houses are vacant. Samantha tells michael what the letter had said, as michael pulls up in front of samantha’s home. He looks in samantha’s eyes, and tells her that she needs to gather her things, and take alyssa to the military base, where they will both be safe, and out of harms way, with michael realizing that is not an option for him. Samantha tells michael that she is afraid, and she does not trust that they are telling the truth. Samantha is worried that once they get there, they will do something to harm her or alyssa. Michael eventually convinces samantha, that it is her best option for both of them, to make it out of the city alive. Michael then offers to help sam, gather some of her things that she will need, before the two of them, head to the base. Samantha declines michaels offer, and tells him that she will take care of it. Samantha lets michael know, that he can take her vehicle, and use it to get out of the city, before things get bad. Michael asks, what about you two, how will you get to the base? Samantha then lets michael know, that she has another car in the garage. As samantha gets out of the passenger side, peering in through the open window. Samantha asks michael, “where are you planning to go” ”, just incase things do not go well at the base”. Michael tells samantha, “i am going to head to the prison where i worked” “, and destroy the drugs, that i am certain they still have there”. As samantha begins pulling away, with alyssa in her arms, michael stops her and offers samantha the guns that are in the satchel. Samantha refuses, and lets michael know that jason has a gun rack in the house. Samantha tells michael that jason worked as a police officer before this, and that she thinks he loved doing that, as much as he loved her. Samantha then rushes around the car, with alyssa still in her arms, reaches in the window and gives michael a hug, thanking him for protecting her and alyssa, and says maybe we will see one another again, after all this is over. Michael removes the house key, from the keys still in the ignition, and hands them to samantha. Samantha jogs to the front door as alyssa is waving to michael the whole time, samantha opens the door, and disappears into the darkness, shutting the door behind her. Michaels pulls away, heading towards the prison, realizing that it is the place where this nightmare, first truly began, not knowing if he would ever see samantha and alyssa again, or if they would make it out of this alive. Michael approaches the prison, on a dark deserted country road. Still miles from the prison, michael notices an orange glow, over the horizon. As michael gets closer he realizes, that there is a small section of the building engulfed in flames. Trying to think positive, michael begins hoping that the guards themselves, have began destroying the drugs. However, as michael pulls up to the front gate, he realizes; that probably is not the case. As michael glances up to see that the barbwire, along the top of the fence is entangled with the mutilated corpses, of multiple police guards. Becoming numb and accustomed too the horrors, that he has seen all night long. Michael smashes through the locked gate, driving into the visitor / employee parking lot. Michael climbs out of the vehicle, with his satchel over his shoulder. Before going in the front entrance, michael hesitating, changes his mind and decides to go around to the side entrance, that is attached to one of the guard towers, that over looks the prison yard. Remembering that they are loaded with ammunition and a.k. Assault rifles. He realizes that with the massive number of inmates in the building, it would be a death sentence to enter the front doors, and that he would not have enough ammo to protect himself, especially if the prisoners have already taken over. Michael rushes around to the side of the building to the tower entrance, that allows the guards to access the tower without having to walk through the inmate infested yard. Twisting the handle, trying to open the door as he reaches the tower. However, he notices the doors locked, michael tries kicking it in, but it will not budge. Michael realizes that he is going to have to waste, very valuable bullets to unhinge the lock. Hoping that the tower has not been raided, michael draws the gun up shooting the lock. The door slowly swings open, revealing a circular room, with a set of stairs, and a door straight ahead, leading from the prison yard, that is lying on the floor, completely off its hinges, and looking like it has been smashed with an axe, or some kind of heavy sharp object. Michael slowly starts making his way up the winding stairs, looking at the walls that are covered in blood smeared hand prints, looking over his shoulder as he goes. Michael reaches the entrance to the guard tower, stepping over two dead, muscle bound infected inmates. One of them is grasping an axe in his hand, and both bodies having been riddled with bullet holes, and he notices they are lying atop a busted, splintered door, in pools of blood. Michael lifts his head, to see the gruesome end of a guard, who looks like he tried holding them off, but ended up failing miserably. The guard is crucified, sprawled, and plastered to the wall, in a bloody mess, both his hands and feet impaled with splintered pieces of wood. Michael notices a note, which has been pierced into the guards forehead with a poorly made prison shank. Michael grabs the note covered in blood, that is addressed to some fellow guards, and it reads, (bloody note): Just incase i do not make it out of here, i just want to let you guys know, or whoever finds this, exactly what took place here. We followed through with our orders and administered the drug on the prisoners at 9pm, but there was a horrible side effect. Some of them started killing over immediately, and others started violently killing themselves and one another. We did not intervene, because it was ending with the same goal we had, when we first administered the drug on the prisoners, just a little bloodier, then we had wanted. After all of the prisoners had perished, we went in to begin gathering the bodies and cleaning up the mess. Then the unimaginable happened, the prisoners began coming back to life, even the ones that were brutally mutilated and murdered. They began violently attacking us, and they killed a handful of guards. I and five other guards managed to escape the initial assault. We came up with a plan. We decided that i would run to the guard tower, and try to reach the military base, by radio and let them know, exactly what has happened. I would then wait for the others in the tower, while they went ahead, too burn the rest of the drugs, and destroy them. I managed to reach the tower, but i could not get through to anybody. Nobody answered, so i was unable to inform the base of what is happening here. I am beginning to see a fire in the distance, on the other side of the prison. Therefore, the other guys must have made it. I do not know if there going to make it back to the tower alive though there was a lot of inmates roaming the halls. I have noticed about seven infected inmates, stumbling through the yard. I hope that they do not realize i am up here, i can see that one of them is holding an axe. It does not look good; they are starting to head toward the tower. They must have noticed me up here. I can now hear them now banging on the door downstairs, i have already locked the door up here, and im going to use the guns in here to hold them off, and bring them down, then i am going to get out of here. I cannot wait for you guys any longer. They are attacking my door now with the axe. Oh god, i hope i can make it out of this (end note). After finishing with the chilling note, michael realizes that he wasted his time in coming here, since the guards have already destroyed the drugs. Regretting being here at all now, michael decides to go ahead at least upgrade his arsenal; he sees an a.k. On the ground completely drained of bullets. Michael picks up the empty gun and shoves it in the satchel; the gun slightly hangs out the flap as it barely fits. Michael begins looking for more ammo in the room, but he cannot find any. Michael having worked here, he knows that there are two more guard towers; he begins hoping that he can get lucky, and find some ammo in one of them. Michael heads towards the door and notices that it is slightly open, hoping that the other guards went through here, and not the infected inmates. Michael opens the door all the way. To reveal a long straight walkway, leading across a cement wall, that is littered with bloody footprints, which lead all the way across too the opposing tower door, which is already perched wide open. Shuffling across the vast walkway, michael shoves the pistol in the waist of his pants, as he grips the shotgun firmly in his hands, eagerly suspecting some hideous, grotesque beast to jump out, and get him any second. Slowly approaching the other tower door, out of nowhere, michael sees three scraggly, infected prisoners coming through the door, with one grasping a guards head, in his hand like a bowling ball. Michael decides to forget the ammo and just get out of here, and make a run for the car.
