Benjamin was awake in bed for a while longer, staring at the ceiling. How he hated this place. Eventually he fell asleep and he didn't even notice the nurse of the nightshift open the door to see if everything was okay.

The nurse thought she saw something when she turned to walk away, but when she looked back she didn't see anything. She shrugged and blamed the shadows as she continued her round.

Somewhere from within the building came a scream, faint, distant. It was impossible to tell where it had come from, but it was something Benjamin didn't hear. He slept until the morning.
