1. Angel’s Nightmare Adventure
Short Story By: Angel Medina
Chapter 1
Angel nervously awaits his jaw reconstruction surgery that he needed
to repair an overbite that he had. Angel was 17 preparing to enter senior year of
High School. He was an A student in school but still managed to maintain a
healthy social life and was actually well respected in school even by the popular
kids. The overbite was caused by the constant sucking of his thumb when he was
younger, he didn’t stop sucking his thumb until the age of eight. Angel went
through most of elementary school being picked on for having such an overbite.
It was so bad many of his classmates back then called him Angel the butt tooth
rabbit. The bullying did calm down as he got into middle school and he got his
braces put in. The braces on his teeth were supposed to push the teeth in, but
the overbite was too severe to repair with braces, so the orthodontist
recommended either surgery or live the rest of his life the way he was. Angel
decided that he didn’t want to grow up with his kids seeing his ugly looking
overbite.
That was back in may, it was now July only two months until school
started again. While Angel wanted to look good for the girls when he got back to
school which he was already attracting, he was becoming very nervous as his
time to go under the knife was coming quick. Angel is with his mother and
father who try to comfort him as he was preparing to go into the operating
room.

2. Angel’s father says “Don’t worry you’ll be alright in time for school, I
know you want that good looking girl in school.”
His mother in Spanish says “God will always be with you, have faith
and you’ll be fine. I love you my son!” Angel is hesitant to go into the operating
room, in fact Angel was so hesitant to go inside he made a run for the exit. The
surgeon calls for security, Angel’s mother and father also chase Angel down.
Angel realizes taking the elevator isn’t an option so he heads for the stairway.
The surgeon says “Harrison! We got a runner heading up or down the
stairs on the 8th
floor. Make sure you have guards waiting for him in either
direction; he is going straight for the exit.”
Harrison replies “10-4 chief. Don’t worry I know Angel very well, we
always been buddies every time he’s come for his appointments.” Harrison was
head of security of Woodhull Hospital located in Brooklyn, New York. He was
the one to always check for Id’s when people were coming in for their
appointments and made sure things were rolling along properly. Woodhull
hospital was a rather big building but Harrison knew the building inside and
out.
Guards were waiting for Angel on the 9th
floor and Angel was a no
show. There were also guards on the 8th
floor waiting for Angel. Once of the
guards on the 8th
floor spots Angel, but Angel takes off so quickly that the guard
barely notices him. The guard pages Harrison that Angel is heading downstairs
and to have guards on the ready by the main and back exits. Angel gets all the
way down to the first floor and figures to use the back exit as the main exit was
probably going to be well guarded. However to Angel’s shock Harrison is
waiting for Angel right by the back exit and grabs him by the arm.

3. Harrison pages the surgeon “I got Angel he’s ok!” Angel’s parents are
relieved to hear that their son has been recovered.
Harrison asks Angel “Why did you try to run away just now, I thought
you said you weren’t scared of the operation?”
Angel answers “I did but ever since playing this new video game
involving zombies and a hospital I’ve been having bad dreams about the
hospital infested with zombies!”
Harrison asks Angel “Have you played that game after midnight?”
Angel answers “Yes I have and it’s much scarier at night, but the sound
effects sound cooler at nighttime.”
Harrison replies “That is what is what probably has you scared to your
pants, I don’t let my son play that game after midnight! Listen Angel you need to
go back upstairs your operation is scheduled to start soon. I promise you’ll be
ok; you’re in the hands of experts besides you’ll be asleep through the actual
operation anyway. Think of it as a really long sleep you’re about to enjoy, one
you haven’t had in years. Now come on Angel you’re a big boy!”
Angel replies “Fine you win Harrison besides what are the odds of
zombies ever coming alive. There’s this one girl I really want to impress in High
School her name is Tiffany. I almost have her in my hands, just have to get rid of
her boyfriend she has now.”
Harrison responds while laughing “After this surgery you’ll look twice
as better and she’ll fall into your lap. Now Angel you ready to go back upstairs,
you got your parents worried.” Angel responds yes to Harrison’s question and is
escorted back upstairs with Harrison back to the operating room.
When Angel is escorted back upstairs he is greeted by his parents who
are happier than mad that he is ok. Angel’s father says “Son I know you’re
3

4. nervous, I remember my eye operation but this is something you agreed to. I
promise when you are done we’ll take care of you.”
Angel replies “I know pops I’ll relax now, alright guys time to cut me
up I guess” The surgeons and his assistants laugh along with Angel. Angel is
placed on the operating table and is injected with anesthetic to help him sleep.
Angel begins to fall asleep while the surgeon and his staff prepare the tools for
the operation.
The last words Angel hears are from the chief surgeon “You ok Angel;
you’ll be asleep for awhile so just relax and let us take care of the hard work.”
Angel responds “Yeah I’m ok, just be careful with my beautiful mouth.
I’m trying to look good for senior year, Tiffany you will be mines…” Angel drifts
off to sleep before he could say anymore words, the surgeons begin to put on
their outfits and prepare for the operation. Then silence is heard…

5. Chapter 2
Ten hours have passed since Angel was place on the operating table
around nine in the morning. The hospital is unusually silent since this is usually
visiting hours at the hospital. The hallways are mostly empty and quiet.
Meanwhile ten hours ago the hospital was business as usual, what could have
possibly happened? Angel regains his conscience as he discovers that his mouth
hasn’t even been touched at all. Angel quickly realizes that the surgery never
happened but he asks himself why was did the operation never happen. In one
sense Angel was relieved that he wouldn’t have to endure the pain after the
operation was done and he would be able to eat fast food. However in another
sense Angel was disappointed but more puzzled on what is going on.
Angel screams “Hello! Hello! Is anybody here? If so please let me
know.” Angel heads away from the operating table and what he sees is
disturbing. The chief surgeon along with his staff was all bleeding, well dead
already by the rotting smell of the decaying bodies. Angel becomes even more
worried trying to figure out how were these people killed and why. Upon closer
examination Angel finds that all of the dead bodies have bite marks, in fact very
deep bite marks. Angel started to believe that these people were killed by
zombies, the same ones he would kill in his video game.
Angel slowly walks out of the operating room into the hallway; as he
approaches the hallway a man begins to attack him. However this man wasn’t
human his skin was all wrinkling and decayed. In fact this man had no color on
his skin he was pale as white paint. Angel grabs a pair of surgeon’s scissors and
pokes the eye of the man. The man does not go down however; Angel grabs a
knife to slash the head of the man. Angel is horrified at what he sees, but knows
5

6. if he didn’t kill the man; the man would’ve killed him. Angel takes a look at the
dead body and realizes by touching its skin it was not a human it was indeed a
zombie. Angel’s worst fear has come true; zombies have come to invade the
hospital.
Angel wondered if his parents were ok, so he heads to the hallway
where he sees Harrison on the floor holding his right side.
Angel asks Harrison “Oh man are you ok? Are my parents ok?”
Harrison in a weak voice says “Who…who are you? Oh you’re Angel,
I’m afraid I got some bad news… you’re parents along with many in this hospital
are dead…”
Angel asks “What happened to this place it was running normally
before?”
Harrison answers “About 3 o’clock in the afternoon there was a report
of a man that was bitten alive by another man not too far from here. When I and
my fellow guards came to apprehend the man we notice he wasn’t normal.
When we shot the man his skin was dry, wrinkly and pale.”
Angel responds “Just like the man I killed, it has to be a zombie.”
Harrison says “Once we took that man down a whole army of the came
rushing in to the hospital, while we were able to take some of them out there
were too many. These zombie creatures have taken over the hospital and they
have made a mess out of this place. Many fires have started in this place due to
our efforts to kill the zombies. I suspect a hidden substance is behind is behind
this, several officers went to investigate the Hybrid Corporation but no one
believed them, after all that this started to happen.” (After the dialogue Harrison
groans in pain).

7. Angel says “Hang in there Harrison I’m not letting you go that fast and
easy.”
Harrison responds “Don’t worry about me; just rescue the survivors in
the other rooms. Here… take this keycard it will help you around the hospital
and take this handgun I know you’re a kid but you’ll need to defend yourself.
Now go!!!” Angel says “But!” Harrison replies “Just Go!!!”
Angel says “Fine I’ll go, but I’ll be back just hang in there. We’re
getting out of this place one way or another.” Angel is hesitant to leave Harrison
as he is holding his right side but understands that standing around won’t do
him any good. Angel holds a Smith and Wesson handgun; Angel has never shot
a gun before, but needed to learn as quickly as possible. Angel heads up to the
ninth floor to see if he sees any survivors. He sees a couple of zombies approach
him, knowing there was no way around them Angel had to use the gun to kill the
zombies. For the first time Angel is not too bad one head shot and the other
zombie needed three shots to die. Angel needed to work on the recoil that he
would receive shooting the pistol, which he would get used to as he went along.
Angel goes to the 9th
floor hallway finds some bullets from the corpse
of a dead guard. He spots a couple of zombies who he shoots kills off easily, he
starts to investigate the individual rooms for any survivor’s but finds none.
Angel is caught inside a room when four of the dead bodies come to life all
looking for a piece of Angel. He does find an access card to the seventh floor.
Angel uses his marital arts skills to kick one of the zombies away and then runs
as fast as he can. More zombies come from the dead giving chase to Angel; with
limited ammunition Angel decides that discretion is the better part of valor and
runs for it.
7

8. Angel heads down towards the seventh floor; ideally Angel wants to
get down to the first floor. However two problems that arose was that one he
didn’t want to leave Harrison or any other survivors behind. The second
problem was that the stairway heading down was blocked by tall flames, so even
if Angel wanted to get out he couldn’t. Angel decides to head into the seventh
floor and he finds even more bullets for his handgun. Angel kills a couple of
zombies who were all burned up after getting caught in the flames. The 7th
floor
was the ICU part of the hospital. Angel heads into a storage room then a zombie
lying down played dead. Angel did not fall for the trap instead Angel uses a lead
pipe onto the zombies head killing it. Upon exploring the storage room Angel
finds more bullets for his handgun but also a riot shotgun used for more
dangerous situations.
Angel says to himself “Well this is one of those dangerous situations,
so I’ll gladly take it. Hmm where is that ribbit coming from?”
Angel heads out of the storage room carefully and all of a sudden a
frog like creature comes down. Angel as first is nervous to face the frog like
creature. The frog sticks out its tongue, while normally that would be a big deal.
However these frogs were three times the size of normal frogs and their licks
were poisonous. To add insult to injury the tip of their tongue had a spike that
could cut and slash their victims. Angel doges the licks by the frog and luckily so
the lick was powerful enough to cut through a glass window. Angel waits until
the frog opens its mouth then blasts it with his shotgun he just found. Angel
catches his breath and breathes a sign of relief. He explores another room where
he finds an access card to the sixth floor. Then out of nowhere the ceiling above
Angel collapses and he is able to get out of the way just in time before getting
crushed by the rubble.
8

9. Angel says “Wow that was close; this place is falling apart need to get
out of here as fast as I can!” Angel hears footsteps towards the central part of the
floor, so Angel heads to the central part of the 7th
floor. Again the footsteps are
heard going into the ICU office; Angel follows the footsteps into the office. Angel
turns on the light and surprisingly the lights are still working.
Angel searches high and low for anything living saying “Anybody hear?
If you are a survivor I’m not going to hurt you, please come on out!”
Angel heads to the back of one of the cubicles and spots a young girl
kneeling as she was trying to hide from someone. When the girl sees Angel she
runs screaming “Ahhhh! Let me go!” Then he grabs her.
Angel says “Easy! Easy there I’m not a zombie, you’re safe now “(The
girl hugs Angel in comfort) “My name is Angel what’s yours?”
The girl replies “My name is Maria.”
Angel asks Maria “What are you doing here?”
Maria answers “My mom called and told me to go the hospital because
it was too dangerous to stay at home. You’re not dressed. (Maria notices that
Angel is still in his patient outfit).
Maria was a girl the same age as Angel. She was as smart as Angel, but
much more timid than Angel. However she did have a beautiful face, which
caught Angel’s attention.
Angel says “Your mom was probably right but its dangerous here as
well, come stick with me. I protect you I promise.”
Maria says “There’s something out there much bigger then those
zombies and he’s after me!” Maria runs away from Angel while Angel screams
her name out. Angel thought to himself zombies and frogs were only the
9

10. beginning, it was going to be a long night. A long night considering that he was
by himself as his parents were killed and the only survivor ran away in fear.
10

11. Chapter 3
Angel has no idea where Maria took off too but by the looks of it she
went upstairs. Angel figures however that he should go to the sixth floor first,
that was where the security level was located and where the elevator controls
was located. Angel heads down stairs where he meets more zombies that he kills
off. He heads into the hallway where a large group of zombies were eating a
human body. Angel watched in terror as the carnage was unfolding in front of
him. Angel noticed that in order to get to the security area and activate access
for the first floor, he would need to get pass the zombies. Angel walks slowly and
nervously towards the group trying to get around, Angel did not have enough
ammo to kill off every zombie.
Angel says “Oh my god, just keep calm Angel as long as they don’t see
you they can’t touch you.” Angel sneaks around the zombies and manages to go
around them. He then heads to the security room where the access control
system was located. At the age of 17 Angel didn’t know much about these
systems but the important thing he saw was a keycard slot. The slot read “To
override lock on first floor exit and back exit, a keycard is required.” A memo is
also found in the room saying that the keycard for the override was located in
the 12th
floor. The access keycard for the 12th
floor was located in the basement.
He reads the rest of the memo which indicates that to get to the basement; a
heart key was needed but was locked in a safe in the first floor east office. Angel
was able to see three numbers of the combination but the digit in the third slot
was missing. Angel also sees a grenade launcher next to him as well, he quickly
grabs it. It is a bit heavy but Angel is able to hold it properly.
11

12. Angel uses the grenade launcher to clear the zombies that were eating
up the human body. Angel says “Eat that zombie freaks!” Angel continues to
explore the sixth floor but finds nothing of interest. Angel makes his way down
to the first floor using the stairway but the path to the first floor is blocked by
the front of a crashed helicopter. Angel says in his head, “What the hell
happened here? It must have been a really crazy scene, when I was asleep!”
Angel is forced to the second floor which was always rumored to be the
“Mysterious Floor” as almost nobody would go up to that floor. Only special
employees would go up to the second floor, in fact the second floor was always
inaccessible even from the elevator. Angel always wondered why, as he enter the
2nd
floor he enters a hallway that is on fire. He sees a couple of zombies, but
decides to save his ammo by using the door ahead of him. When Angel walks
through the door, it becomes clear why the 2nd
floor was never mentioned. There
were also rumor that a loud roar could be heard coming from the 2nd
floor, but
the origins were unknown. The hallway was eerie and greenish like what you
would see in a Victorian era hospital. The walls were dusty and in bad shape, the
smaller rooms were filled with spider webs along with beds older than his
grandfather. All of a sudden Angel sees two huge tarantula spiders ahead.
Angel’s heart begins to pound as he suffered from arachnophobia (Fear of
spiders). However Angel did have his grenade launcher still loaded. Angel takes
a shot at the spiders, but he only hits one of the spiders. The other spider began
to crawl as a rapid pace towards Angel and Angel moves back as fast as he can.
Angel in a panic says, “Oh shit he’s coming right for me, shit the door
behind me is full of zombies. Well it’s time to face my fear of spiders!”
Angel runs forward avoiding the poison spit that was being shot at him
by the spider. The spider tries to attack Angel with its legs but by some miracle it
12

13. misses Angel. Angel takes advantage of the spider leaving its self open by
blasting it with his shotgun killing it.
Angel says, “Wow that was too close, I’ll be having nightmares about
spiders chasing me for the next few days.” Angel moves on down the halls and
figures out that the second floor was left abandoned. Angel asked himself, why
would the hospital leave the second floor rot. What was on this floor that had
the employees running scared? Angel sees a door leading to the first floor but it
is locked and requires a key. Not a normal key but a key that would open a
Victorian Era style door. Angel moves on forward and sees another door ahead
but before Angel got his hand on the door. The ceiling collapses on top of Angel,
Angel gets out of the way from the falling rubble. However the kicker is that
through the rubble was a creature with a pale white face along with a red trench
coat. Angel empties bullets onto the creature but the creature doesn’t go down
or even budge for that matter.
Angel says, “What the hell is this thing? No don’t tell me, Mr. Z the
creature from the video game that never dies, shit he probably has the key
though. There’s gotta be some ammo hiding around here somewhere!” Angel
heads back to the area where the spiders were and finds some grenade rounds.
Before Angel could use them, Mr. Z grabs and throws Angel cornering him. The
Mr. Z puts his hands together trying to knock Angel out with a hammer punch;
Angel is able to crawl out of the way. Angel blasts a grenade to Mr. Z and the
creature finally goes down. Angel looks inside the pockets and finds the key to
the door leading him to the first floor.
Angel says “He may be down, but if this is like my video game back
home he’s not out. He’ll be chasing me through out this whole place. I need to
start gathering some more ammunition, find Maria and more importantly find
13

14. an escape plan.” Angel opens the door with the key; it is an unusually heavy
door. After opening the door Angel sees a set of stairs leading downstairs to the
first floor. (After Angel takes the stairs, Mr. Z gets right back up, ready to strike
again. – cue drastic music)
14

15. Chapter 4
Angel heads down the stairs but the stairs lead him outside through a
side area of the hospital. There are dogs on the other side of the fence and they
are trying to jump over the gate to attack Angel. Lucky for Angel the gate is high
enough so that the dogs can’t get inside. Angel finds some shotgun shells along
with some handgun bullets, which he desperately needed. After picking up the
goodies Angel heads through the gray door and to his luck he finds himself right
in the East office where the safe was located. Now was it a blessing or a curse
that remained to be seen. Angel finds even more ammo inside a locker full of
grenades, shotgun shells and handgun bullets. Angel was now ok when it came
to ammunition but he couldn’t go crazy; there is no telling what else is lurking in
his hospital. Not to mention that Mr. Z wasn’t really dead, but Angel probably
had the idea that he would meet Mr. Z again.
Angel heads into the actual office, zombies of different occupations
such as doctors, officer workers and janitors all stared at Angel. Angel prepares
for battle and kills the first few zombies that he comes across. One zombie tries
to grab Angel from behind, but Angel is able to get away before getting caught.
Angel takes out some more zombies; there were a larger number than Angel
anticipated. Angel is grabbed by one of the zombies who is trying to bite him,
Angel grabs a pen. Angel takes the pen and stabs the eye of the zombie to escape
its grasps. Realizing there were a large group of zombies, Angel takes out his
shotgun and begins to clean house. Finally after clearing the office of the
zombies Angel hears a loud roar, it sounded very familiar.
15

16. Angel says, “Mr. Z I know you’re still alive, you’re not fooling anybody.
I’ll be waiting for our next meeting. I just hope Maria is ok and we can get out of
here as quickly as possible, we maybe running out of time here!”
Angel goes into a smaller room in the office where a zombie tries to
ambush Angel, but Angel elbows the zombie right in the head. As a result the
zombie is beheaded and dies on the spot. Angel spots the safe that was
mentioned on the memo back at the sixth floor. Angel reads the memo which
has the combination 4-6-?-1, the question mark represents the number that was
ripped off. That simply meant that Angel had to go through process of
elimination and eventually he is able to figure out the combination as 4-6-0-1.
Angel opens the safe and finds some shotgun shells, a map and the heart key to
open the basement. Angel takes a quick look at the map that he just acquired
and sees that there are only eleven floors.
Angel says, “The twelfth floor must be the roof I guess, better keep that
in mind in case I can’t get out through the front door. What bother’s me is why
isn’t it marked on the map or does this hospital have more secrets waiting to be
revealed?”
Angel was bother by the fact that the memo mentions the 12th
floor but
yet on the map it is not shown. Perhaps the map was an older map that wasn’t
updated; it did still have the 2nd
floor labeled although it wasn’t being used.
However Angel wasn’t going to let that stop him from escaping, while there was
a door to the right of him, Angel avoided as it led to the front door and there
were probably zombies waiting for him on the other side. Angel instead uses the
heart key to unlock the basement. Angel was prepared for just about anything,
as anything that could happen, has happened. Angel goes down the stairs and
when he reaches the bottom he spots a couple of dogs. However these canines
16

17. are not friendly towards Angel, in fact they are malformed and try to attack
Angel. Angel shoots the dogs, killing them instantly.
Angel says in a sad tone “Poor pups, I feel sorry that I had to shoot
them. I love dogs with a passion but it was either kill them or be killed. I have
researched the Hybrid Corporation and from what I know they are a company
that makes gas for medical use. Could it be an experiment totally gone wrong?
There was no time to think about that, I had to get moving, time was not on my
side.”
Angel takes a look at the hallway and sees this hallway contains many
rooms. It includes a parking garage, an autopsy room and a weapon storage
room. The autopsy room is locked and so is the weapon storage room. Angel
heads to the parking garage, hoping to find a way out. However when Angel
enters the garage is collapsed on the part leading to the exit. Angel hears the
scream of a young girl, could that be Maria? It was Maria and she was being
chased by a frogger, which was Angel’s nickname for the frog like creatures.
Maria screams in agony “Somebody help me, get this disgusting toad
out of my face!”
Angel says to the frog “Hey frog face, how about picking on somebody
your own size!” Angel blasts the frog with a shotgun blast and then he goes to
comfort Maria.
“Maria I was so worried about you, I’m glad I found you. It’s time for
us to go, you’re coming with me.” Maria hesitates. Then Angel says with a high
tone “Let’s go!”
Maria replies “Ok Angel I’ll go with you, besides I need someone to
protect from that man in the red jacket. He keeps looking for me, for some
reason he wants me. I don’t know why?”
17

18. Angel says “It doesn’t matter; we need to stick together if we are to
survive this! That bastard could be anywhere, I met him and took him down but
I know he’s still alive. Hmm the key to the autopsy room, would you mind giving
that key to me Maria?”
Maria answers “No, here you go Angel. Angel I’m glad that I met you. I
was so scared and still am.”
Angel responds “Yeah I’m scared out of my pants as well. I don’t know
what’s going on, but I’m sure the Hybrid Corporation has an idea what is going
on.”
The duo turns back and reenters the hallway where a couple of
froggers were waiting for the duo. One of them licks Maria but luckily it causes
ho harm to Maria. Angel shoots one of the frogs killing it and tries to shoot the
other one, but the other frogger jumps to the ceiling. The jumping frog freaks
Maria out to where she hides in a corner. The frogger uses its tongue to grab
Angel and tries to swallow Angel in whole, but Angel lobs a grenade in its mouth
with the grenade launcher. After a few seconds the frog explodes into pieces
and the force of the blast pushes Angel towards Maria.
Maria says “Wow that was scary; I’ll be having nightmares about frogs
for a long time!”
Angel adds “Not only frogs but spiders as well!”
Maria responds “No are you kidding? I want to get out of here!
Angel in a consoling tone says “We’re getting outta here soon, as long
as you stay with me nothing is going to happen to you.”
Angel and Maria head into the autopsy room which is full of dead
bodies. Maria freaks out after seeing the dead bodies and Angel reassures her
that everything was ok. Angel heads to the counter where he finds a keycard to
18

19. the weapon storage room, when a metal plate falls. Once again Maria is scared
out of her mind but nothing comes out of the counter. When Angel begins to
walk out the of the autopsy room the dead bodies come alive. It turns out that
the dead bodies were zombies’ playing dead, Maria is scared out of her pants.
One of the zombies grabs Maria until Angel shoots it in the head killing it.
Angel screams “It’s too dangerous to stay in here we gotta make a run
for it!”
The duo runs out of the door and towards the weapon storage room. At
the same time several zombies break through the door, giving chase to Angel
and Maria.
Angel says in disbelief “Son of a bitch! These guys just don’t give up,
hurry up lets get into the storage room!”
Angel and Maria enter the weapon storage room where Angel gather’s
some more ammunition. Angel comes right back out to kill off the zombies that
were chasing him and Maria. Maria finds the keycard to the twelfth floor and
gives it to Angel. The duo begins to make their way to the twelfth floor until
Maria sees Mr. Z behind her and begins to panic.
Maria in a panic says to Angel “Angel, look behind you!”
Angel screams in response “Run!”
Angel and Maria run up to the first floor to get away from Mr. Z.
Luckily for the duo that Mr. Z did not see them. Angel and Maria go up the
second floor through the creepy hallway where Angel met Mr. Z for the first
time. As they walk down a hand pops out of the vent in the ceiling and grabs
Maria by the mouth.
Angel says “Isn’t it creepy Maria that they never used this floor since it
opened back in 18… Maria do you even hear me?”
19

20. Angel looks behind him and realizes that Maria was not with him
anymore; Angel looks inside the vent to see if he could spot Maria but couldn’t
see her. Angel screams out Maria’s name, but received no response. Angel fears
that Mr. Z has captured Maria or a creature even worse than Mr. Z has Maria.
Angel knew he had to get to the 12th
floor as fast as he could, as Maria’s life could
depend on it.
20

21. Chapter 5
Angel loses Maria once again, this time to an unknown force who
grabbed Maria from the 2nd
floor ceiling vent. Angel realizes that he has to get
over it and keep it moving. Angel heads up to the 12th
floor but along the way the
hospital begins to crumble around him and creatures attack him from random
directions. The random attacks begin at the sixth floor where a group of zombies
block the stairway going up and if that wasn’t bad enough a couple of the spiders
that Angel had to deal with were on the sixth floor.
Angel blasts the zombies with his shotgun but then get’s tackled by the
by the spiders from behind. He crashes into the wall but he is able to get up
rather quickly, he avoids the poison spit by the spiders. The spit contains so
much acid that it burns a hole on the wall where Angel crashed at. Angel wastes
no time and lobs a grenade towards the spiders blowing both of them up. Angel
blows on the grenade launcher and says “That’s how it’s done suckers!”
Angel heads to the 7th
floor and remembers that’s where Harrison was.
Angel was going to check on his condition and see if he could assist Angel in
getting out of the hospital. However when Angel arrives at the seventh floor,
Harrison looks pale almost pinkish. Harrison looks up and begins to make the
sound of a zombie, which indicates he has turned into a zombie. Harrison
approaches Angel like he wanted to grab and bite him. Angel tries to talk some
sense to Harrison, but it’s no use Harrison was unable to think for himself
anymore. So Angel had the hard task of having to shoot and kill Harrison, his
buddy when he used to go to the hospital. Angel goes to Harrison’s corpse and
he hugs it one last time, then apologizing for having to kill him.
21

22. Angel cries “Harrison you were like a brother to me, we always used to
joke around. I’m going to miss you buddy! This whole place is probably infected
with these freaks of nature! My god this hospital is going down and it’s probably
even worse back home.”
Angel begins to think what would he do when he did break out, where
would he go? If the virus spread throughout the city then Angel was safe
nowhere. Angel saw himself having to survive on his own if he had to, even if
that meant not having a roof on top of his head. Long story short Angel was
ready to go into survival mode if the situation called for it.
Angel goes straight for the twelfth floor but he gets cut off at the
eleventh floor. There was no stairs leading to the twelfth floor, Angel was now
convinced that there was a great secret hiding in the 12th
floor. Angel heads to
the 11th
floor hallway but finds that the 11th
floor is nothing but a Victorian Era
style library. Angel asks himself what’s a library of this magnitude doing in this
hospital, it was quiet too quiet. Angel approaches a door that is locked but a
message to the side says. “To gain access to the promise land you must arrange
the book shelves in the pattern as shown by the image to the right most
bookshelf.” Angel heads to the right most bookshelf but he is unable to fit
through the small opening to see the pattern needed to arrange the bookshelves.
Angel heads upstairs to look for answers, until he falls through a weak part of
the floor and falls through going down. Angel sees the pattern that he needs to
arrange the bookshelves to open the door.
Angel sees a switch which moves the right most bookshelf left so he
could get through. Angel then follows the pattern which goes as follows: 1- Left,
2- Right, 3-Left, 4- Right. The bookshelves are moved electrically by pressing
the switches which moves them right or left depending on what is chose. After
22

23. the correct pattern has been achieved, the door opens by itself. Angel proceeds
towards the door until Mr. Z pops out from one of the bookshelves.
Angel says, “Son of a bitch I knew we would meet again, take this!”
Angel begins to shoot Mr. Z with everything he has and Mr. Z goes
down rather easily this time.
Angel says, “Damn I gotta find a way to kill this guy for good, he’s just
going to keep chasing me around the hospital, if I can even call this a hospital
anymore! Maria is probably in serious trouble, I gotta hurry!”
Angel goes through the open door and finds a capsule containing a
human body being fed some kind of weird liquid. Angel wondered what in the
hell were they doing in this hospital and was this going to be his fate had the
surgery taken place as scheduled. Suddenly Angel was concerned that the source
of these creatures was the results of failed experiments taking place in the
hospital itself.
Angel says in his mind, “I started to feel that I was learning too much
for my own good. I was only 17 after all, but I was very smart for my age. I heard
horror stories about this hospital about patients that never made it out alive and
this could be the reason. Of course Woodhull Hospital would do everything to
cover their asses, but I couldn’t be concerning about exposing the hospital. For
all I know everybody might be dead anyway and the hospital maybe completely
destroyed by the time this was all cleared up. All I needed to worry about was
rescuing Maria and getting out of here.”
Angel hits the switch which opens a door in the upstairs area of the
library. When Angel returned to the library Mr. Z was gone, as Angel expected.
Angel says, “Trap door’s huh, looks like the worms are about to come
out of the can and these worms were going to bite real hard.”
23

24. Angel heads upstairs towards the trap door and it leads to an open
hallway with a railing along with a long fall down. Angel heads to the door
ahead, but before he could open the door Mr. Z made his appearance again. This
time catching Angel in a tight area, Angel starts to shoot Mr. Z, but to no avail.
Angel backs up trying to gain some space between him and Mr. Z, but Mr. Z
gains up on Angel. Angel thinks quickly and jumps on to a gas pipe, then
shimmies his way along the hallway with Mr. Z trying to grab Angel
unsuccessfully. Angel uses his last few round of his grenade launcher to take
down Mr. Z; Angel finds some more grenade rounds and shotgun shells inside
of Mr. Z’s pocket.
Angel heads through the door that he wanted to go through and when
he got through he could hear the sound of Mr. Z getting up.
Angel says, “That SOB is going to keep chasing me, that guy is
incredibly strong and throws a mean fist. Just looking at him would get anyone
scared; I can’t let that monster get out into the wild like that. Worse of all he was
a stalker, the worse kind of enemy!” Angel finds himself at the 12th
floor which
starts out as a hallway, but Angel quickly realizes it’s not like the rest of the
hallways in the hospital.
24

25. Chapter 6
Angel notices that the hallway had a loud sound of a generator. Angel
walks into the room with the generator, he walks towards the end of the room.
At the end of the room he sees Maria through a camera walking inside a
laboratory, trying to escape but unable to. Angel looks for a way to contact her
but is unable to. Next to the camera Angel finds even more grenade rounds,
shotgun shells and a .45 Magnum. Angel takes a look at the other camera; the
camera simply shows the exit to the room. However it shows something else,
once again it was Mr. Z to Angel’s disbelief.
Angel says “It can’t be this bastard’s back, how many times do I have
to kill this red-jacket freak. Man this has got to be a real bad nightmare or this is
a real bad reality!”
Angel heads towards Mr. Z and shoot’s a few rounds towards him.
Then Angel runs back to gain distance from Mr. Z, Angel finishes off Mr. Z. He
finds more bullets on Mr. Z including magnum rounds. Angel wondered where
this freak was made from and why does he not die, but more importantly what
does it want? Angel unlocks the laboratory area and heads towards Maria. Angel
heads inside the door but he does not arrive where Maria is, he maybe in the
room before Maria. Anyway Angel is met with a gauntlet of spiders, froggers and
a new breed of creatures “Scorpio” code name for the scorpion like creatures.
Angel says, “You gotta be kidding me, scorpions now, not like Mr. Z
isn’t giving me a run for my money already.”
The scorpions have an extremely venomous sting and if its target is
stung the poison will be so bad that the target will probably die instantly. Angel
runs around the lab area full of capsules and lab equipment to avoid getting
25

26. killed by any of the creatures. Angel is able to kill off some of the spiders and
frogs but the scorpions give Angel the most trouble. Their hard shells make
them almost impossible to kill. A spider pushes Angel to the wall, after that a
frogger licks Angel with its poisonous tongue and then a scorpion traps Angel in
a corner. It looked hopeless for Angel at this point trapped by three of the worse
possible experiments gone wrong. Angel takes out his Magnum and shoots the
tail of the scorpion killing it. Out of nowhere gunfire is heard and a mysterious
character kills the rest of the creatures with a machine gun.
Angel says, “That’s what I needed, who are you?”
The mysterious man answers “I’m Luis I’m one of the surviving
members of hospital security. I’m glad I found one survivor!”
Angel in a weak voice says “There’s another survivor, a girl named
Maria. I was with her but I lost her and now I’m poisoned. You know about this
secret area of the hospital…” Angel passes out before he could finish his
sentence.
Luis answers, “No I found out like you did, but you need some care.
I’m going to take you to the medical room here and see if I can cook up an
antidote for you.”
Luis carries Angel to the medical room which wasn’t too far from
where Angel was fighting the creatures. Luis finds some herbs and mixes them
up into a tea. He has Angel drink the tea and Angel begins to feel a lot better.
Angel says to Luis, “Thanks man I needed that. I’m sorry but Harrison
is gone.” Angel begins crying.
Luis responds “I know Angel, but we can’t worry about that. It’s only
you, me and that survivor you said was around. Listen I’m just as surprised as
you are that the hospital was keeping this secret for such a long time. They
26

27. probably didn’t intend on this happening, I heard they wanted to release
something to cure cancer. Well we gotta get to the roof, which honestly I have
never been to. I got a call from a police chopper who will pick any survivors up
from the hospital that is our only ticket out of here. The front exit is infected
with these creatures and so is the back exit.”
Angel replies “I bet the exit is where Maria is located; we gotta get to
her and quickly. We gotta be strong Luis, I’m sure that’s what Harrison would
want us to do. Let’s get moving.”
Angel and Luis get out of the medical room and goes towards where
Maria was located. Before they could get there more zombies appeared to block
the entrance. Angel and Luis worked together to take the zombies out. After that
they headed into a room called “Lab B”. Just like Lab A, but this lab contained
only two huge capsules with humans inside. It’s quiet when Angel and Luis
arrive, until Angel spots Maria.
Maria running scared spots Angel and says “Angel help me it’s that
man again!” It was Mr. Z giving chase once again.
Angel says “It’s you again damn you are a persistent one, what do I
have to do to take you down?”
Luis says “Hey what not try to zap-gun onto the wall?”
Angel answers “Well I’ll try anything at this point to get rid of this
bastard!”
Angel grabs the zap gun and uses it on Mr. Z. The force pushes it back;
a pool of blue liquid can be seen. Angel has an idea of forcing Mr. Z into the pool
and having him fall in getting rid of him for good.
Angel says as Mr. Z falls into the pool “Goodbye Mr. Z! It was nice
knowing you!”
27

28. The trio sees an emergency ladder that leads straight to the roof. The
trio is relieved that they are finally getting out of the hospital. (As Angel, Luis
and Maria are climbing the ladder toward the roof, Mr. Z pops out of the pool. –
cue drastic music)
The trio has no idea that Mr. Z is still alive and well when they begin to
look for the helicopter. Luis spots the light of the helicopter and has everyone
wave their hand so that the chopper could pick them up. The helicopter begins
to approach our heroes and when it gets ready to descend to drop the ladder to
pick up the trio. Mr. Z pops out of the floor and onto the roof, only this time he
has a blue jacket and blue visors. The helicopter gets away claiming it’s too
dangerous to descend.
Angel in disbelief “You again I can’t fuckin believe it. Do you ever die?”
Mr. Z had transformed into Mr. Y who was a stronger version of Mr. Z
and not just stronger but faster and well. Angel and Luis shoot Mr. Y, but Mr. Y
flies up and avoids every shot. Then it lands on Angel and begins to punch him
until Luis shoot’s him letting Angel go. The duo tries to shoot Mr. Y again but
this time he sides steps and he’s simply too quick for Angel and Luis to keep up
with. Mr. Y punches both Angel and Luis to the floor. The duo gets right back up
not willing to give up. Maria hides behind the AC unit to avoid being spotted by
Mr. Y.
Meanwhile Angel and Luis were getting their asses handed to them by
Mr. Y.
Angel says “Damn pushing him into that liquid only made him
stronger, damn this bastard is something else!”
Despite Mr. Y’s abilities, it did have a pattern of attack which Luis and
Angel began to pick up as the battle continued. Angel lobs a grenade at Mr. Y
28

29. when he’s open and Mr. Y begins to weaken. Mr. Y jumps real high trying to hit
Luis but he misses him and Luis shoot’s Mr. Y as he comes down. Mr. Y began to
weaken and slow down but the duo did not have a weapon powerful enough to
take out Mr. Y.
Out of nowhere the man on the chopper screams on the megaphone
“Here use this when he’s not expecting it! Hurry up we don’t have much fuel to
waste!”
Maria sneaks to the item, it was a rocket launcher. Angel and Luis
continue to slow down Mr. Y until Mr. Y is kneeling down.
Maria says while shooting the rocket launcher “Game over big guy!”
The rocket hits Mr. Y dead on and Mr. Y explodes into many pieces.
Angel says to Maria “Wow I’m impressed you killed your worse fear
yourself.”
Maria replies “I can’t take all of the credit, you guys distracted him. I
just shot the final blow.”
Luis says “Well guys we survived, now time to get out of here.”
The chopper picks up the trio using the ladder and the chopper flies
away into the sunrise. Angel, Maria and Luis are in the chopper stunned by what
they just endured and actually survived. This would be a story they could tell
their kids in years to come, maybe even their grandkids. There was only one
problem. An alarm goes off, which wakes up Angel from his sleep and he
prepared for surgery day. It was all a bad dream; this was all in his sleep.
Angel says “Wow that was some dream I just had! It’s time to get ready
for my oral surgery.
