Prompt: A young married couple decided to renovate an abandoned psychiatric hospital and turn it into a Hotel. Everything is going well until there first guest arrives.
In the small town of Blackwood, nestled in the rolling hills of the countryside, there stood an abandoned psychiatric hospital that loomed ominously over the landscape. The imposing building had been vacant for years, its windows boarded up and its walls covered in graffiti. Many townspeople whispered about the dark history of the hospital, of the patients who had suffered within its walls and the rumors of hauntings that plagued the grounds.
But for one young married couple, Daniel and Rebecca, the hospital represented an opportunity for a new beginning. Both entrepreneurs at heart, they saw the potential in the building and decided to purchase it with the intention of renovating it and turning it into a boutique hotel. Despite the warnings of the locals, who cautioned them against meddling with the supernatural forces that purportedly resided within the hospital, Daniel and Rebecca were undeterred.
As the renovation work began, the couple poured their time and energy into transforming the hospital into a luxurious retreat. They hired local contractors to help with the renovations, and soon the once dilapidated building began to take shape, its halls echoing with the sound of hammering and sawing.
After months of hard work, the hotel was finally ready for its first guest. Daniel and Rebecca eagerly awaited the arrival of their inaugural visitor, a young woman named Sarah who had booked a room for the weekend. As the sun began to set over the horizon, Sarah pulled up to the hotel in her car and stepped out, her eyes widening in awe at the grandeur of the building before her.
Daniel and Rebecca greeted her warmly, leading her to her room on the second floor of the hotel. The room was elegantly furnished, with plush carpets and antique furniture that gave it an air of old-world charm. Sarah settled into her room, grateful for the respite from the chaos of her everyday life.
That night, as Sarah drifted off to sleep, she was startled awake by a strange noise coming from the hallway outside her door. She sat up in bed, her heart pounding in her chest as she strained to listen. The sound was faint at first, a low murmuring that seemed to echo through the empty corridors of the hotel.
Creeping out of bed, Sarah opened her door and peered into the hallway, her eyes widening in terror at the sight before her. The walls of the hospital seemed to pulse and throb with a sickly green light, casting eerie shadows that danced across the floor. The murmuring grew louder, taking on a sinister tone that sent shivers down Sarah's spine.
As she stood frozen in fear, a figure emerged from the shadows. A young woman, her hair matted and her eyes hollow with despair, drifted towards Sarah with an otherworldly grace. Sarah's breath caught in her throat as she recognized the woman as one of the patients who had once been confined to the hospital.
The ghostly apparition spoke in a voice that seemed to come from beyond the grave, telling Sarah of the unspeakable horrors that had taken place within the hospital's walls. The patients had been subjected to cruel experiments and torturous treatments, their screams echoing through the halls long after their bodies had gone cold.
Sarah's blood ran cold as she listened to the woman's tale, her mind reeling with the realization that she was not alone in the hotel. The spirits of the hospital's past inhabitants had risen from their graves, seeking vengeance on any who dared to disturb their eternal rest.
In a panic, Sarah fled from the hotel, heedless of the warnings of the ghostly woman who followed close behind. She raced down the winding corridors, the building seeming to twist and contort around her as though alive with malevolent intent.
By the time Sarah reached the front door, she was gasping for breath, her heart pounding in her chest as she flung it open and stumbled out into the night. The hospital loomed behind her, its windows glowing with an otherworldly light that seemed to beckon her back inside.
As Sarah ran into the darkness, the sound of the ghostly woman's laughter echoed through the night, a chilling reminder of the horrors that lay within the walls of the abandoned hospital. And as the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, the building stood silent and empty once more, its secrets hidden behind boarded-up windows and locked doors, waiting for the next unsuspecting soul to stir its restless spirits.
