Based on Doctor's Orders: A Haunted Hospital

The cold, sterile corridors of St. Mary's Hospital echoed with the faint sounds of medical equipment and the occasional footstep. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a pale glow through the windows, but it offered little comfort to Dr. Eliza Carter. She had been working overtime for days, her eyes red and her face drawn, but the mystery she was unraveling was far more chilling than any fatigue.

Eliza had arrived at St. Mary's under mysterious circumstances. She had been a promising surgeon, but her career had been derailed when her mentor, Dr. Harold, had suddenly taken his own life. Eliza had been the last person to see him alive, and the circumstances surrounding his death were as murky as the hospital's reputation.

Now, as she navigated the labyrinthine halls, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She had received an anonymous note, "Based on Doctor's Orders," which seemed to hint at a connection between her mentor's death and the hospital's dark past.

The note had also mentioned a patient, a man named Thomas, who had been admitted with unexplained injuries. Eliza had visited his room, but it was empty. The nurse had been evasive, and the patient's chart had been sealed. It was as if the hospital was trying to keep her away from Thomas.

Her curiosity was piqued, and she decided to return to Thomas's room. She found it unlocked, and the bed was still warm. She approached it cautiously, her heart pounding in her chest. As she reached out to touch the bedsheet, it moved, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

"Hello?" she called out, her voice trembling.

There was no response, but the bedsheet moved again, as if someone was lying beneath it. Eliza's hand brushed against something cold and hard. She pulled it out and saw a silver medical ID with the name "Thomas" on it.

Just then, the door creaked open, and a figure stepped into the room. It was the nurse, her face pale and her eyes wide with fear. "Dr. Carter," she gasped, "you shouldn't be here."

Eliza's mind raced. "What's going on? Where is Thomas?"

The nurse hesitated, then whispered, "He's... he's not here. He's gone."

Eliza's eyes widened. "Gone? How?"

The nurse's voice was barely audible. "They... they took him."

"Who? Who took him?" Eliza demanded, her voice rising.

The nurse looked around as if expecting someone to appear at any moment. "They... they're not human."

Eliza's heart sank. "What do you mean? What are they?"

The nurse's eyes met Eliza's, filled with terror. "They're the dead. They're here, Dr. Carter. They're all here."

Eliza's mind was spinning. The dead? At St. Mary's? But how could that be? The hospital was supposed to be a place of healing, not a place of horror.

"Where are they?" she asked, her voice steady despite the fear that was now a tangible presence in her chest.

The nurse pointed to the window. "Over there. They're waiting for you."

Eliza turned to see a group of shadowy figures standing outside the window, their eyes glowing faintly in the moonlight. They were the dead, and they were watching her.

She turned back to the nurse. "What do I do?"

The nurse's eyes filled with tears. "Run, Dr. Carter. Run."

Eliza took a deep breath and turned to flee the room. She had no idea what she was running from, but she knew it was something far more terrifying than any living threat.

She ran down the hallway, her heart pounding in her chest, and the shadows outside the windows seemed to close in on her. She didn't know how long she had before they caught up, but she knew she had to find Thomas and uncover the truth before it was too late.

As she reached the main entrance, she heard a sound behind her. She turned to see one of the shadows reaching out, its fingers brushing against her shoulder. She spun around, ready to fight, but the shadow vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

Eliza continued to run, her heart pounding in her chest, and she knew she had to keep moving. She had to find Thomas, and she had to find out why the dead were haunting St. Mary's Hospital.

As she burst through the main doors, she saw a figure standing in the distance. It was Thomas, his face pale and his eyes wide with fear. He was running towards her, and she knew that she had to catch up to him.

She sprinted after him, her breath coming in ragged gasps, and she saw the shadowy figures closing in behind her. She had to reach Thomas, and she had to do it now.

As she drew closer to him, she felt a hand grab her shoulder. She spun around, ready to fight, but she saw that it was Thomas. He was holding a silver medical ID, the same one she had found in his bed.

"Eliza, it's me," he gasped, his voice trembling.

Eliza's eyes widened. "Thomas, are you okay?"

Thomas nodded, but his eyes were filled with fear. "I... I don't know. I woke up here, and then... then they came for me."

Eliza's mind raced. "Who are they? What do they want?"

Thomas looked around, his eyes wide with terror. "I don't know, but they're coming. We have to go."

Eliza nodded, and they turned and ran together, their hearts pounding in their chests, and the shadowy figures closing in behind them. They had to find a way to escape, and they had to do it now.

As they ran, Eliza's mind went back to the nurse's words. "They're the dead. They're here, Dr. Carter. They're all here."

Eliza's heart sank. The dead were haunting St. Mary's Hospital, and they were coming for her and Thomas. She had to find a way to stop them, or they would be lost forever.

As they reached the edge of the hospital grounds, they saw a figure standing in the distance. It was Dr. Harold, Eliza's mentor, his face twisted in a demonic grin. He was holding a silver medical ID, the same one Eliza had found in Thomas's bed.

Eliza's eyes widened in horror. "Dr. Harold? What have you done?"

Dr. Harold's eyes met Eliza's, and he laughed, a sound that was both chilling and sinister. "I've done what I was ordered to do, Eliza. I've brought the dead back to life, and now they're here to claim their souls."

Eliza's mind raced. "But who ordered you to do this?"

Dr. Harold's eyes narrowed. "The hospital. They wanted to keep St. Mary's a place of fear, a place where no one would ever want to come."

Eliza's heart sank. "But why? What's the purpose?"

Dr. Harold's eyes glinted with malice. "The purpose is simple. To keep the living in line, to remind them that they are not as powerful as they think they are."

Eliza's mind raced. "But we can stop this. We can stop them."

Dr. Harold's eyes narrowed. "You can try, Eliza, but you won't succeed. The dead are already here, and they won't be stopped."

Eliza's heart sank. She had to do something, anything, to stop the dead from taking Thomas and herself. She had to find a way to stop Dr. Harold and the hospital from fulfilling their dark purpose.

As she stood there, looking at Dr. Harold, she knew that she had to fight. She had to fight for her life, for Thomas's life, and for the lives of everyone at St. Mary's Hospital.

She took a deep breath and stepped forward, her eyes meeting Dr. Harold's. "We'll see about that, Dr. Harold."

Dr. Harold's eyes widened in surprise. "You think you can stop me?"

Eliza nodded, her voice steady despite the fear that was now a tangible presence in her chest. "I think we can stop you, Dr. Harold. We can stop them all."

Dr. Harold's eyes narrowed. "You're wrong, Eliza. You're wrong."

Eliza took a deep breath and stepped forward, her heart pounding in her chest. She had to do something, anything, to stop the dead from taking Thomas and herself. She had to find a way to stop Dr. Harold and the hospital from fulfilling their dark purpose.

As she stepped forward, she felt a hand grab her shoulder. She spun around, ready to fight, but she saw that it was Thomas. He was holding a silver medical ID, the same one Eliza had found in his bed.
