Shadowed forms in dark relief against the frosted panes. Moving back and forth in vague, aimless fashion. A woman screamed, a baby cried. Then silence.
When would they get there? Why was she alone for this?
“Chris!”
Thank heavens, someone was coming.
The light disappeared, the shadows gone. All that was left was broken panes, and empty room.
“Chris? What happened?”
She stepped forward, ignoring the arrival of her friend, looking into what had been the birthing room of the old hospital.
She’d thought a ghost hunt would be fun. She hadn’t imagined the sting of pain she’d feel. “Nothing.”

Great job! I always wanted to go on a ghost hunt but I am a big chicken.
@Tinfoil Magnolia,
I so want to go on a ghost hunt!! Hubby understands and has gone so far as to research someplace close enough to do it. It’s on my 45X45 list of things I want to do…I’m very much looking forward to it 😀
This one gave me a tingling on the back of my neck. Nicely done!
@Tara R.,

Very nice!! I love the mystery of it all. Well done. 🙂
