Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Talk to nicely. As we entered the hospital, I looked
- 0:06Speaker 1: around and saw several families with young children in the
- 0:10Speaker 1: waiting area. A few of them glanced my way, and
- 0:14Speaker 1: the light caught their eyes, revealing irises tainted a crimson hue.
- 0:20Speaker 1: They glowed red like old photos that hadn't developed quite right.
- 0:25Speaker 1: There were so many children experiencing the same symptoms as
- 0:28Speaker 1: my daughter, Juliana, and yet, I hadn't seen anything on
- 0:32Speaker 1: the local news. Still, word was beginning to spread around
- 0:36Speaker 1: town that there was a contagion going around. Only amongst
- 0:41Speaker 1: the children, at least for now. The triage nurse looked
- 0:45Speaker 1: us up and down, scribbling something on a piece of paper.
- 0:49Speaker 1: I handed her the necessary identification, including my Proteon Company
- 0:54Speaker 1: ID badge, then took a step back and waited for
- 0:57Speaker 1: her questions. Symptoms? Red eyes, poorly timed laughter, odd statements.
- 1:04Speaker 1: No suspicious cravings? I gulped down a dry lump in
- 1:08Speaker 1: my throat, thinking about what my daughter had said that
- 1:11Speaker 1: morning at the breakfast table. No, I lied. The nurse
- 1:16Speaker 1: gave me a hard, cold stare for a few moments,
- 1:20Speaker 1: then scribbled something and continued her questions. And how long
- 1:24Speaker 1: has this been going on for? Just a day. The
- 1:27Speaker 1: red eyes started about 20 minutes ago, That's when I
- 1:30Speaker 1: brought her here. Okay, have her put on this wristband
- 1:35Speaker 1: and wait over there to be called in. Don't touch anything.
- 1:39Speaker 1: It shouldn't be long. My daughter snapped the band onto
- 1:42Speaker 1: her wrist, and it made an electric chiming sound. Two
- 1:47Speaker 1: green lights lit up on either side, next to the
- 1:50Speaker 1: Proteon Company logo, the megacorporation which ran the high-tech corporate
- 1:55Speaker 1: town where we lived. When I first took the job
- 1:59Speaker 1: in Pleasant Hills... I thought it was an idyllic, perfect
- 2:02Speaker 1: place to raise a family. When the recruiter told me
- 2:05Speaker 1: about the salary and benefits, I nearly jumped for joy.
- 2:10Speaker 1: But now, I was coming to realize that this quaint
- 2:13Speaker 1: little town was not entirely perfect. There was something spreading
- 2:18Speaker 1: amongst the population, something unlike anything I'd seen or heard
- 2:23Speaker 1: of before. The two of us sat down in the
- 2:26Speaker 1: waiting room, and my daughter began to eye the toys
- 2:29Speaker 1: and books in the corner. Without asking, she stood up
- 2:33Speaker 1: and wandered over to the table piled high with reading material.' Juliana!'
- 2:38Speaker 1: I called out, but she didn't stop. A woman sitting
- 2:42Speaker 1: near the book stood up quickly and moved away, as
- 2:45Speaker 1: if someone with leprosy were approaching. I felt a pang
- 2:49Speaker 1: of anger, but realized I couldn't blame her. None of
- 2:53Speaker 1: us knew what we were dealing with yet. My daughter
- 2:56Speaker 1: picked up a colorful kid's book and began to leaf
- 2:59Speaker 1: through the pages. scanning the print quickly with her red
- 3:02Speaker 1: eyes darting back and forth. She seemed to realize the
- 3:06Speaker 1: woman next to her was staring and turned her head
- 3:09Speaker 1: to glare at her. Then she made a loud hissing sound,
- 3:13Speaker 1: like a territorial street cat. She snapped her teeth and
- 3:17Speaker 1: lunged at the woman, and I jumped up and pulled
- 3:20Speaker 1: her back. Juliana! No! What are you doing? She went
- 3:25Speaker 1: back to looking at the book as the woman ran
- 3:27Speaker 1: out of the waiting room, screaming. She's got it too.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I looked over to see a man with his daughter
- 3:33Speaker 1: and son. The three of them were dressed as if
- 3:36Speaker 1: coming from church, but there was something wrong in his
- 3:39Speaker 1: children's expressions, something unsettling. They were staring at me with wide,
- 3:46Speaker 1: vacant grins. Their eyes were glazed over, and their teeth
- 3:51Speaker 1: looked too sharp, as if being drawn out by some
- 3:55Speaker 1: invisible force being stretched into fangs. The changes were subtle,
- 4:00Speaker 1: but noticeable. Yes, just today I began to see the changes.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Lord help us. How long have your children? Winters, Juliana.
- 4:11Speaker 1: A woman's voice called from the door to the ER,
- 4:14Speaker 1: interrupting our conversation. Winters, Juliana? I stood up quickly and
- 4:19Speaker 1: grabbed her hand. She brought the book with her. I'm sorry.
- 4:23Speaker 1: She grabbed it before I could stop her, I said
- 4:25Speaker 1: to the nurse, gesturing at the book. The woman looked unconcerned.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Keep it. She was wearing a respirator mask, gloves, goggles,
- 4:36Speaker 1: and a bright blue, full-body protective suit as she led
- 4:39Speaker 1: us into a room. A sign on the door read,
- 4:42Speaker 1: Negative Pressure Room. Should I be wearing a mask? I
- 4:46Speaker 1: asked her as she left. Probably, but you'd be exposed
- 4:50Speaker 1: by now anyway. The doctor will be with you shortly.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Exposed to what? I yelled. The door sealed shut with
- 4:58Speaker 1: a hiss and a bang. The woman stood outside for
- 5:02Speaker 1: a few moments, taking off her gear, but made no
- 5:05Speaker 1: effort to communicate with us or answer my question. A
- 5:10Speaker 1: huge window at the front of the room allowed us
- 5:12Speaker 1: a view into the ER, and we watched as she
- 5:15Speaker 1: disappeared into the crowds of nurses, doctors, and patients. The
- 5:21Speaker 1: two of us were left in eerie silence. Juliana opened
- 5:25Speaker 1: the book again and sat down cross-legged on the floor.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Part of me wanted to tell her to get off
- 5:31Speaker 1: the ground, since who knew what had happened in there.
- 5:35Speaker 1: But she looked so innocent for those few moments, I
- 5:38Speaker 1: couldn't bring myself to do it. She looked like herself again,
- 5:43Speaker 1: like a normal kid. Except for the red eyes, glowing
- 5:47Speaker 1: as she glanced up at me. The PA came on suddenly.
- 5:52Speaker 1: A woman's frantic voice began to speak. Code Crimson in effect.
- 5:59Speaker 1: the emergency waiting area now. The message repeated two more times.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Then the speaker cut out again. What's the code, Crimson Daddy?
- 6:09Speaker 1: Juliana asked, looking up from her book. Is it a fire?
- 6:14Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. I think this is something different.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Just keep reading your story. A shrill scream came from
- 6:22Speaker 1: outside the room, and I looked out through the large
- 6:24Speaker 1: window into the ER. For a few seconds, there was nothing.
- 6:30Speaker 1: My heart pounded dully in my ears, and I could
- 6:33Speaker 1: feel it in my throat as I gulped down a
- 6:35Speaker 1: dry lump. A woman in pale green scrubs raced past,
- 6:40Speaker 1: blood shooting from a fresh wound on her arm, spraying
- 6:43Speaker 1: the wall red as she ran by. She was screaming
- 6:46Speaker 1: and looking over her shoulder, sprinting like her life depended
- 6:50Speaker 1: on it. Gunfire could be heard from down the hall,
- 6:53Speaker 1: in the waiting area where we had just been. Get down!
- 6:57Speaker 1: I yelled at Juliana, running over to her. Someone's shooting!
- 7:01Speaker 1: I ran over to my daughter and pulled her behind
- 7:03Speaker 1: a chair which was up against the wall. The two
- 7:06Speaker 1: of us hid behind it, and I heard people running
- 7:08Speaker 1: past outside, but was too afraid to look. The gunfire
- 7:12Speaker 1: was constant now and getting closer. I could hear things
- 7:15Speaker 1: breaking outside the room from stray bullets and just hoped
- 7:18Speaker 1: one wouldn't find its way to us. Daddy, I'm hungry,
- 7:22Speaker 1: Juliana said quietly. Not now, honey, please. How could she
- 7:27Speaker 1: be thinking of food at a time like this? I
- 7:29Speaker 1: wondered to myself. More gunshots rang out, sounding very close now.
- 7:35Speaker 1: I ventured a glance out from behind the chair we
- 7:37Speaker 1: were using as cover. Through the glass, I saw men
- 7:40Speaker 1: in black body armor with machine guns in their hands.
- 7:44Speaker 1: They were firing rapidly and backing up, moving away from
- 7:47Speaker 1: the waiting area. Security enforcement officer was written on each
- 7:51Speaker 1: of their uniforms with their name beneath that. I recoiled
- 7:56Speaker 1: in surprise as something leapt through the air like a
- 7:58Speaker 1: wild animal, tackling one of the security guards and sending
- 8:02Speaker 1: him flying backwards, his gun firing as he fell. His
- 8:06Speaker 1: repeated screams were heard muffled through the door a few
- 8:08Speaker 1: seconds later. It was the children with red eyes. Dozens
- 8:13Speaker 1: of them from the waiting room were now rampaging throughout
- 8:15Speaker 1: the ER, chasing nurses and doctors, running around on all
- 8:19Speaker 1: fours like animals. A few people were on the ground,
- 8:22Speaker 1: and the children appeared to be feeding on them, ripping
- 8:25Speaker 1: out their throats and feasting on their bloody flesh. The
- 8:28Speaker 1: power suddenly shut off with a dull click, and the
- 8:31Speaker 1: ER was cast into total darkness for several long moments.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I'm so hungry, Daddy, Juliana said from behind me, moving closer.
- 8:41Speaker 1: The emergency lighting switched on, and everything was cast in
- 8:44Speaker 1: a dim glow from above. I spun around to see
- 8:47Speaker 1: my daughter moving towards me, a hungry look in her eyes.
- 8:51Speaker 1: She was smiling like a hungry piranha and I could
- 8:54Speaker 1: see her teeth growing insidiously longer, drawing into needle sharp points.
- 9:00Speaker 1: What are you doing, Juliana? Stop, don't get any closer.
- 9:05Speaker 1: I felt as if I shouldn't let her know how
- 9:06Speaker 1: scared I was. If she could sense my fear, I
- 9:10Speaker 1: worried she would lunge at me like a wild animal.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Something slammed into the glass behind me and I spun
- 9:16Speaker 1: around to see a teenage boy smashing his forehead repeatedly
- 9:20Speaker 1: against the window. his eyes ablazing, burning red. The glass
- 9:24Speaker 1: began to spiderweb and slowly crack from its center, and
- 9:28Speaker 1: I heard it crunching and breaking from each impact as
- 9:30Speaker 1: he bashed his skull against the window, again and again.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I was so caught up in the sight of it
- 9:37Speaker 1: that I almost missed the reflection of my daughter lunging
- 9:39Speaker 1: at me from behind. But I saw it at the
- 9:42Speaker 1: last second and ducked out of the way, surprised at
- 9:45Speaker 1: my own quick instincts. The glass shattered as she crashed
- 9:48Speaker 1: into it and went flying through, landing hard against the
- 9:51Speaker 1: boy on the other side. Something was wrong with them.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Something very, very wrong, and my fight-or-flight instinct suddenly took over.
- 10:01Speaker 1: More specifically, my flight instinct. I leapt through the broken window,
- 10:05Speaker 1: broken glass piercing my palms, and began to run back
- 10:08Speaker 1: towards the waiting room. When I looked back, I saw
- 10:11Speaker 1: my daughter and the teenage boy were scrambling to their feet,
- 10:15Speaker 1: racing towards me on all fours like jungle cats, their
- 10:18Speaker 1: eyes blazing red. The horrible sight of them chasing me
- 10:21Speaker 1: distracted me from my route, and I found myself slipping
- 10:24Speaker 1: in fresh blood, sliding, and wrenching my back as I
- 10:27Speaker 1: fell in the middle of the sticky red puddle. I
- 10:30Speaker 1: hit the ground hard and bit my tongue, tasting coppery
- 10:33Speaker 1: blood a second later. Stay down! Someone screamed behind them
- 10:37Speaker 1: and began to fire. Thankfully, I saw they weren't shooting bullets.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Small syringes full of green fluid impacted nearby, missing them.
- 10:46Speaker 1: but a few found their targets, and the two of
- 10:49Speaker 1: them turned around, racing back towards their attacker. Their movements
- 10:53Speaker 1: weren't even slowed by the heavy dose of tranquilizer. The
- 10:56Speaker 1: man screamed as the two of them took him down,
- 10:59Speaker 1: tearing off his black body armor and feeding on his
- 11:02Speaker 1: flesh a second later. He screamed in pain and yelled
- 11:05Speaker 1: at me to run. After a moment's hesitation, I began
- 11:09Speaker 1: to sprint back towards the entrance where we'd come in.
- 11:12Speaker 1: A pair of sliding steel doors separating the waiting area
- 11:14Speaker 1: from the ER. I raced towards them and began to
- 11:18Speaker 1: hammer my fists against them, screaming to be let out.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Looking up to my left, I saw a security camera
- 11:24Speaker 1: pointed at me. I haven't been bit! I screamed, thinking
- 11:28Speaker 1: for some reason that might be important. Maybe I'd just
- 11:32Speaker 1: seen one too many zombie movies. Please, let me out!
- 11:35Speaker 1: Maybe that was the right thing to say, because the
- 11:37Speaker 1: doors opened. and I burst through them a second later.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Two security guards in heavy armor were on the other side.
- 11:44Speaker 1: They were closing the door as I looked back through
- 11:47Speaker 1: and saw my daughter racing towards us. Blood smeared around
- 11:50Speaker 1: her mouth like strawberry jam. Then the steel doors slammed shut.
- 11:55Speaker 1: My daughter's in there! I screamed. We've got to help her!
- 11:59Speaker 1: Something impacted the steel door on the other side, deforming
- 12:02Speaker 1: the metal and bending it into the shape of a
- 12:04Speaker 1: child's skull. It's us you should be worried about! The
- 12:08Speaker 1: security guard said. I looked around and saw the hospital
- 12:11Speaker 1: was being sealed. Thick steel shutters were closing slowly, blocking
- 12:16Speaker 1: out the sun, casting the waiting room into semi-darkness. Gold
- 12:20Speaker 1: crimps and lockdown protocols in effect, a robotic voice said
- 12:24Speaker 1: from overhead. Shelter in place and do not approach the infected.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Do not attempt to reason with the infected or to
- 12:30Speaker 1: speak with them. Do not make eye contact. Assistance is
- 12:33Speaker 1: on the way. Do not panic. Another loud bang came
- 12:37Speaker 1: from the steel door separating the waiting room from the ER,
- 12:41Speaker 1: and I saw a gap was forming, big enough to
- 12:43Speaker 1: see through. An eye peered through, looking familiar, except for
- 12:49Speaker 1: the color of it, crimson like a sunset. Peek-a-boo, Daddy,
- 12:54Speaker 1: my daughter said, giggling. I see you. Also, it turns
- 13:00Speaker 1: out that most of you guys who watch me aren't
- 13:02Speaker 1: actually subscribed. So if you like the content and want
- 13:06Speaker 1: to support the channel, go ahead and hit the bell.
- 13:08Speaker 1: It's free, and you can always change your mind later.
- 13:17Speaker 1: You planning on breaking those chains and just using the
- 13:20Speaker 1: power of your mind? The officer asked me with a
- 13:23Speaker 1: straight face. I hated to admit it, but he had
- 13:27Speaker 1: me pegged. For the last ten minutes, I'd been staring
- 13:31Speaker 1: hopelessly at the manacles, which secured my legs to the
- 13:34Speaker 1: hospital bed, secretly wishing I was Professor Xavier. Finally, I
- 13:41Speaker 1: relaxed and let out my breath, admitting defeat. You guys
- 13:45Speaker 1: know that stuff is legal, right? Not that I'm saying
- 13:49Speaker 1: it was mine. But come on, give me a break.
- 13:52Speaker 1: It's 2022. The two cops rolled their eyes. For recreational use, yes,
- 13:59Speaker 1: the police officer on the right said. He was a
- 14:01Speaker 1: bit taller than the other one, with a thick mustache
- 14:05Speaker 1: and glasses. But you had close to a pound, and
- 14:08Speaker 1: you tried to sell it to our undercover officer, so
- 14:11Speaker 1: quit complaining. Even you know the law better than that.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I remained silent, staring at the shackles, feeling hopeless. Listen, kid,
- 14:22Speaker 1: you've got bigger problems than that right now, the other
- 14:25Speaker 1: officer said. He was older and balding. His eyes were
- 14:29Speaker 1: icy blue. And he looked at me with something akin
- 14:32Speaker 1: to kindness. I immediately liked him, even though he was
- 14:36Speaker 1: a cop. At least, more than the other guy who
- 14:40Speaker 1: had been talking to me like I was dirt. We
- 14:42Speaker 1: got word there was another dealer who wasn't happy that
- 14:45Speaker 1: you were moving in on his turf. The word from
- 14:48Speaker 1: our CO said you were going to have a visitor tonight.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Somebody looking to remove you from the equation. The other
- 14:57Speaker 1: officer gave him a hard look, as if he was
- 14:59Speaker 1: saying too much. The older cop just shook his head.
- 15:04Speaker 1: The kid deserves to know he's in danger. I don't
- 15:06Speaker 1: care what the sergeant says. Morano's men could show up
- 15:10Speaker 1: here any minute. And if they do, he needs to
- 15:13Speaker 1: know what he's dealing with. Suddenly, the hospital's overhead PA
- 15:17Speaker 1: system clicked to life with a hiss of feedback. Attention, please.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Code Lockdown is in effect. Code Lockdown is in effect.
- 15:27Speaker 1: The two cops stood up, looking nervous. The older cop
- 15:31Speaker 1: was suddenly pacing the room, looking out the windows, checking
- 15:34Speaker 1: his cell phone for messages. Go visit the nurse's station.
- 15:38Speaker 1: See if you can find out what's going on, he
- 15:41Speaker 1: told the younger guy. The other cop let out a
- 15:44Speaker 1: grunt of annoyance, then left quickly, and I heard his
- 15:47Speaker 1: feet moving rapidly down the hall away from us. After
- 15:51Speaker 1: the officer left, I found myself alone with the older cop,
- 15:55Speaker 1: getting more and more nervous as time ticked by on
- 15:57Speaker 1: a large clock mounted to the wall opposite me The
- 16:01Speaker 1: air in the room was tense, and there was silence
- 16:04Speaker 1: between the two of us while we waited for word. Finally,
- 16:08Speaker 1: the officer's radio crackled to life, and a voice spoke rapidly.
- 16:13Speaker 1: The sudden loud noise of it caused me to jump
- 16:15Speaker 1: with fright, and the chains bit into my ankles as
- 16:18Speaker 1: I had forgotten momentarily of their presence. We've got a 10-32,
- 16:23Speaker 1: the voice on the radio said, their breathing heavy and labored.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Secure the prisoner for transport. We need to... The radio
- 16:30Speaker 1: cut out. and silence filled the room again. Only the
- 16:34Speaker 1: sound of the clock going tick, tick, tick could be
- 16:38Speaker 1: heard once more. A gunshot rang out from down the hall,
- 16:42Speaker 1: the echo of it ringing loud in my ears. A
- 16:45Speaker 1: second later, there was another shot, and another, and another,
- 16:48Speaker 1: then several more in rapid succession. Finally, it was quiet again,
- 16:54Speaker 1: but still I didn't let out my breath. The cop
- 16:57Speaker 1: in the room with me put his radio to his mouth,
- 17:00Speaker 1: and began to speak rapidly into the receiver. We need backup.
- 17:03Speaker 1: We have an active shooter situation. Surprisingly, there was no response.
- 17:10Speaker 1: He tried again and again, but there was no response
- 17:13Speaker 1: from the dispatcher. It was as if they couldn't hear us,
- 17:17Speaker 1: or were acting like they couldn't. What the hell is
- 17:20Speaker 1: going on? I asked, desperate for some shred of information.
- 17:24Speaker 1: The cop had his gun drawn and looked to be
- 17:26Speaker 1: preparing for an intruder. Why aren't they answering? Rano probably
- 17:31Speaker 1: paid them off, like he did every other cop in
- 17:34Speaker 1: this city. Kid, you thought you were just selling dope,
- 17:37Speaker 1: I know. But you gotta understand who your competition is.
- 17:41Speaker 1: In this town, after the dispensaries moved in, the only
- 17:45Speaker 1: people really selling anymore are mob families. And they don't
- 17:49Speaker 1: like having competition. Instead, they just hire a hitman to
- 17:53Speaker 1: take you out. Now I was really getting scared. Even worse.
- 17:58Speaker 1: I could hear footsteps moving steadily up the hall in
- 18:00Speaker 1: our direction. It sounded like someone wearing dress shoes, the
- 18:05Speaker 1: click of the leather soles against the linoleum soft and sturdy.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Get these cuffs off my legs, please. You can't let
- 18:12Speaker 1: them kill me. Someone cried out a few rooms over.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Gunshots rang out again, interrupting a scream cut short. I
- 18:20Speaker 1: had never heard such a terrifying sound, a blood-curdling howl
- 18:24Speaker 1: silenced by the bite of a bullet. Randall? The cop
- 18:28Speaker 1: said into his radio. Randall, answer me. I know you
- 18:31Speaker 1: can hear me, you fat piece of shit. I have
- 18:33Speaker 1: a wife. I have kids. You can't do this. A
- 18:37Speaker 1: brief sound of static filled the room, followed by silence.
- 18:41Speaker 1: I assumed the cop was trying to reason with a
- 18:43Speaker 1: dispatcher who was silencing his calls for help. Shit. The
- 18:48Speaker 1: cop pulled back the hammer on his revolver and stood
- 18:50Speaker 1: away from the door, getting ready in a firing stance,
- 18:54Speaker 1: standing just a few feet beside me. Give me the
- 18:56Speaker 1: damn keys if you're not going to let me out
- 18:58Speaker 1: of these things, please. Finally, the cop relented and threw
- 19:02Speaker 1: me a set of keys from his belt. I immediately
- 19:05Speaker 1: went to work with my hands shaking badly, trying to
- 19:08Speaker 1: get the locks undone. Get ready, kid. We might need
- 19:11Speaker 1: to make a break for it. Tell me when you're
- 19:13Speaker 1: out of those cuffs. I could tell the cop was nervous,
- 19:17Speaker 1: but he looked like he had been through shit like
- 19:18Speaker 1: this before. His hard blue eyes stared at the door,
- 19:22Speaker 1: waiting for someone to enter. He glanced back down at
- 19:25Speaker 1: me again, and in that second, the world erupted in
- 19:29Speaker 1: noise and flashes of bright light. All in an instant,
- 19:33Speaker 1: there were a flurry of gunshots as a figure crossed
- 19:35Speaker 1: the room in a strafing blur. I saw a Kevlar
- 19:39Speaker 1: vest and a masked man with a set of dual pistols,
- 19:42Speaker 1: and then blood began to spray into the air as
- 19:44Speaker 1: the cop next to me was filled with bullets. Red
- 19:47Speaker 1: liquid landed warmly on my arms and on my face.
- 19:50Speaker 1: as he let out a howling cry of surprised anguish.
- 19:53Speaker 1: The old cop was dead before he hit the ground
- 19:56Speaker 1: and I looked up to see the assassin moving in closer.
- 19:59Speaker 1: I still had the key in my hand but was
- 20:01Speaker 1: far from getting even one set of handcuffs unlocked. Pretty
- 20:05Speaker 1: clever getting yourself shipped over here, the man said. his
- 20:09Speaker 1: face concealed behind a ski mask. If you were in prison,
- 20:13Speaker 1: at home, or hell, even just in a regular hospital,
- 20:17Speaker 1: you would have been dead by now. But you made
- 20:19Speaker 1: us really look for you. Who would have thought we'd
- 20:22Speaker 1: finally find you in a mental hospital? I was fumbling
- 20:26Speaker 1: with the keys and managed to get my feet unlocked.
- 20:29Speaker 1: When I looked up, he was standing over me. One
- 20:32Speaker 1: of his pistols pointed at my head, the other back
- 20:35Speaker 1: in its holster. What'd you tell him to get sent here?
- 20:39Speaker 1: just so I know for future reference. You never know,
- 20:41Speaker 1: I might get locked up myself one of these days,
- 20:44Speaker 1: he said, a smile playing at the corners of his lips.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I told him the truth, I replied, moving on to
- 20:52Speaker 1: the handcuffs on my wrists, hoping he wouldn't shoot me,
- 20:55Speaker 1: hoping my words might buy me a few more seconds.
- 20:59Speaker 1: I told him I see things, things that shouldn't be there.
- 21:03Speaker 1: The man seemed genuinely intrigued by this. You don't say,
- 21:08Speaker 1: He took a step back and dropped the gun to
- 21:10Speaker 1: his side. You know, I had a friend growing up.
- 21:14Speaker 1: He said he could see things too. Things that weren't there.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Creepy shit. Clowns. Dark things in the shadows. Animals like wolves,
- 21:24Speaker 1: but different somehow. Hungrier and meaner. The things he said
- 21:29Speaker 1: back then, they stuck with me. I've had nightmares ever since.
- 21:34Speaker 1: He looked around the room suspiciously. A locker in the
- 21:37Speaker 1: corner had appeared out of nowhere. It was faded green
- 21:41Speaker 1: with a combination lock, looking like it belonged in the
- 21:44Speaker 1: hallway of a high school, not a hospital room. It
- 21:48Speaker 1: began to open of its own volition, revealing a dark
- 21:52Speaker 1: emptiness inside. What the hell? That locker! That's the locker
- 21:57Speaker 1: I've been seeing in my dreams since I was ten
- 21:59Speaker 1: years old. Since Dave told me about his powers. What
- 22:02Speaker 1: the hell is this? Are you messing with me, kid? What?
- 22:06Speaker 1: He pointed the gun at me, and I shook my head. No,
- 22:10Speaker 1: it's not me. I can't control it. The locker opened wider,
- 22:14Speaker 1: and something like laughter escaped from inside. Darkness poured out
- 22:19Speaker 1: like a flood. That's not possible. It can't be. Anything
- 22:23Speaker 1: but that. The man's gun dropped to the floor as
- 22:26Speaker 1: something came out of the shadows inside the locker. It
- 22:29Speaker 1: was a clown, tall and slender, wearing a white, black,
- 22:33Speaker 1: and red polka dot outfit. baggy pants and big red shoes.
- 22:38Speaker 1: He can't be you. He can't be. A second later,
- 22:41Speaker 1: the clown was producing a large knife from his pocket,
- 22:44Speaker 1: his smile growing wider as he stepped closer to the assassin.
- 22:48Speaker 1: You're not real. This isn't real. The man was screaming,
- 22:52Speaker 1: his knees buckling as his legs quaked with fear. I've
- 22:55Speaker 1: been self-medicating for years trying to dull this power inside
- 22:58Speaker 1: of me. This thing that manifests your worst fears. Anyone
- 23:03Speaker 1: exposed to it dies a horrible, Terrifying death, at the
- 23:07Speaker 1: hands of their nightmares made real. Whatever is haunting me,
- 23:11Speaker 1: it knows everything you're most afraid of, and it feeds
- 23:15Speaker 1: on that fear. It eats it like a meal. The
- 23:18Speaker 1: man stumbled backwards and fell suddenly downwards, disappearing into the ground.
- 23:23Speaker 1: The floor had become an unfilled grave which he had
- 23:26Speaker 1: backed himself into. Looking down from the bed, I saw
- 23:30Speaker 1: dirt begin to fill it in from the top as
- 23:32Speaker 1: he screamed. The black soil filled his gaping mouth as
- 23:36Speaker 1: he called out for mercy. And then a second later,
- 23:40Speaker 1: the clown leapt into the grave as well, the knife
- 23:43Speaker 1: clenched between his teeth. Dull screaming sounds could be heard
- 23:47Speaker 1: from beneath the loose soil for a second, and then
- 23:50Speaker 1: polished off white linoleum replaced the grave, and I found
- 23:53Speaker 1: myself alone in the hospital room. I finished taking the
- 23:57Speaker 1: cuffs off, glancing nervously at the locker as I did so,
- 24:01Speaker 1: waiting for it to open again. When it didn't, I
- 24:05Speaker 1: marched myself down to the nurse's station. Several staff members
- 24:09Speaker 1: were huddled behind the desk, looking terrified. Is it safe?
- 24:14Speaker 1: One of them asked, seeing me covered in blood standing there.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Is he gone? I thought about this for a second. Well,
- 24:22Speaker 1: he's gone, but it's not safe. The nurses looked confused.
- 24:29Speaker 1: A utility closet door began to creak open nearby. revealing
- 24:32Speaker 1: the pitch blackness inside, and a chuckle of laughter escaped
- 24:36Speaker 1: from within. Huh. I guess a lot of people are
- 24:40Speaker 1: scared of clowns around here. Listen, lady, we don't have
- 24:43Speaker 1: much time. I'm going to need you to draw up
- 24:45Speaker 1: a syringe of Haldol or Clozapine or something. Like, right now.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Or you're all going to be in a lot of trouble.
- 24:56Speaker 1: It all started with the explosion in the containment facility
- 25:00Speaker 1: at Area 51. Nobody knows exactly what caused the accident,
- 25:05Speaker 1: but there were a hell of a lot of casualties.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Not only that, but the base's hospital was inundated with
- 25:12Speaker 1: dozens of wounded soldiers. As a nurse, that meant our
- 25:16Speaker 1: quiet little military hospital was suddenly full of bleeding bodies
- 25:20Speaker 1: and yelling voices. Blood was on the floors and doctors
- 25:24Speaker 1: screaming for assistance could be heard ringing throughout the cramped,
- 25:27Speaker 1: close quarters medical unit. My patient caseload had increased from
- 25:31Speaker 1: the regular one or two sick soldiers to ten or more,
- 25:35Speaker 1: and they were all in rough shape. Worst of all
- 25:38Speaker 1: was Peter. I felt bad for him immediately. Despite his
- 25:43Speaker 1: horrifying injuries, he slept constantly, looking almost peaceful, aside from
- 25:49Speaker 1: the occasional twitch or grimace. Nobody really knew what was
- 25:53Speaker 1: wrong with him. He was in the cold storage section
- 25:56Speaker 1: of the facility when the explosion happened, according to the
- 26:00Speaker 1: reports I'd read. His left eye was blinded and the
- 26:04Speaker 1: entire left side of his body was burnt badly. His
- 26:07Speaker 1: arm was amputated after the doctors decided it wasn't salvageable.
- 26:12Speaker 1: The odd part was, his flesh had begun to turn
- 26:15Speaker 1: a purple color on the affected side. It reminded me
- 26:19Speaker 1: of internal bleeding, that violet shade spreading insidiously from beneath
- 26:23Speaker 1: the surface, indicating something much worse and much darker happening underneath. Strangely,
- 26:30Speaker 1: There were no signs that he was bleeding internally. His
- 26:33Speaker 1: hemoglobin was stable. In fact, it was rising faster than
- 26:37Speaker 1: most blood loss victims. They were feeding him intravenous medication constantly.
- 26:43Speaker 1: A cocktail of drugs with long, complicated names that I
- 26:46Speaker 1: had never heard of before. When I asked the doctors
- 26:50Speaker 1: about the meds, they told me they were top secret, experimental,
- 26:54Speaker 1: and not to ask any more questions about them. Bright green.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Almost fluorescent bags of medication which glowed in the darkness
- 27:02Speaker 1: pumped into him constantly, and I could almost see his
- 27:06Speaker 1: skin beginning to glow faintly green in the night as well,
- 27:09Speaker 1: his body emitting a thrumming sound like electricity. We had
- 27:14Speaker 1: him sedated to keep his agony to a minimum. You
- 27:19Speaker 1: can't feel pain while you're asleep, so it seemed like
- 27:22Speaker 1: the most humane thing. But there are risks when you
- 27:26Speaker 1: sedate someone, If you take it too far, their breathing
- 27:29Speaker 1: will slow down. Their heart rate will too. And when
- 27:34Speaker 1: that happens, you have to bring them back. It was
- 27:37Speaker 1: during my shift when that happened. His respiratory rate dropped
- 27:42Speaker 1: down below 10, then 8. He began to take long
- 27:46Speaker 1: pauses between breaths. I was at the bedside, so I
- 27:50Speaker 1: pulled out my stethoscope to listen to his chest. Something
- 27:54Speaker 1: immediately caught my attention. A slithering, What sound like an
- 27:58Speaker 1: eel was moving around inside of him. But then it
- 28:01Speaker 1: was silent and still again. Surely just my imagination, I thought, refocusing.
- 28:08Speaker 1: His pulse had slowed considerably. It was close to 40
- 28:13Speaker 1: beats per minute and dropping fast. I went over to
- 28:16Speaker 1: the infusion pump and paused it. After a few moments,
- 28:20Speaker 1: the machine began to wail like a hungry infant left unattended.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Pulling out my cell phone, I quickly called the doctor. Luckily,
- 28:29Speaker 1: he wasn't far, and was in the room with me
- 28:32Speaker 1: a minute later, standing over the patient. How are his stats?
- 28:36Speaker 1: I put him on a non-rebreather, but he's still in
- 28:39Speaker 1: the low 80s, I said, checking the patient's oxygen levels
- 28:43Speaker 1: on the monitor. Dr. Baum was holding a stethoscope to
- 28:47Speaker 1: Peter's chest, listening closely. I wanted to check with you
- 28:51Speaker 1: first before we give the reversal agent. What do you think?
- 28:55Speaker 1: Give him a few more minutes. Let's see if his
- 28:57Speaker 1: numbers come up. Sir, are you sure? I knew from
- 29:01Speaker 1: my experience that if his oxygen level stayed below 90%
- 29:05Speaker 1: for long, it would cause irreversible brain damage. We needed
- 29:10Speaker 1: to administer Narcan immediately. This seemed to be going against
- 29:14Speaker 1: the doctor's code of do no harm. Restart the infusion,
- 29:18Speaker 1: the doctor said, his face grim. Keep him under. Keep
- 29:22Speaker 1: an eye on his pressure. Let me know if his
- 29:24Speaker 1: numbers drop any lower. Before I could say another word,
- 29:28Speaker 1: he was gone. What the hell? I muttered to myself
- 29:32Speaker 1: in disbelief. He wanted me to keep the infusion going?
- 29:36Speaker 1: But that meant the patient would continue to deteriorate. My
- 29:40Speaker 1: fingers hovered over the restart button on the infusion pump,
- 29:44Speaker 1: but I couldn't do it. Something about the whole thing
- 29:47Speaker 1: felt wrong, and I didn't want to risk my license or,
- 29:51Speaker 1: more importantly, the patient's life. Instead of following the doctor's instructions,
- 29:57Speaker 1: I went out of the room to get a second opinion.
- 30:00Speaker 1: There had to be another physician around somewhere, and they
- 30:03Speaker 1: would surely recognize the need for a reversal agent. Without it,
- 30:07Speaker 1: the patient would die. Unfortunately, when I got out in
- 30:12Speaker 1: the hallway, I saw everyone was so busy there was
- 30:15Speaker 1: no chance of flagging down a doctor. The only other
- 30:19Speaker 1: physician I could see had both hands pressed firmly into
- 30:22Speaker 1: someone's sternum, blood pouring out around the sides. They were
- 30:26Speaker 1: screaming for gauze and a crash cart, but no one
- 30:29Speaker 1: was coming. My instincts took over and I left my
- 30:32Speaker 1: patient for a minute to assist the doctor, knowing the
- 30:35Speaker 1: situation was dire and they needed help. I fetched the
- 30:39Speaker 1: crash cart and called a code blue, hitting a nearby
- 30:42Speaker 1: button on the wall, which sounded an alarm. I hooked
- 30:44Speaker 1: up oxygen tubing and cranked the liters per minute to 20,
- 30:48Speaker 1: as high as it would go. Once the oxygen mask
- 30:51Speaker 1: was on the patient, I had a moment to look down.
- 30:54Speaker 1: The patient was turning blue around the lips. I pushed
- 30:57Speaker 1: hard on both sides of the balloon attached to the mask,
- 31:00Speaker 1: forcing air into his lungs, causing his chest to rise
- 31:03Speaker 1: and fall. I did this again and again, watching the
- 31:07Speaker 1: monitor as his O2 levels began to increase. Finally, after
- 31:12Speaker 1: several long minutes, some help arrived, and I was able
- 31:15Speaker 1: to leave them to their work. I went back to
- 31:18Speaker 1: my patient, terrified of what I might find when I
- 31:21Speaker 1: entered the room. But I never would have guessed what
- 31:24Speaker 1: I saw when I walked in, never in my wildest dreams.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Peter was lying on the bed, thrashing about, and making
- 31:33Speaker 1: muffled screaming noises. Something was covering his mouth, something plant-like
- 31:38Speaker 1: and purple with branching vines. Whatever the growth was, it
- 31:41Speaker 1: was coming from the stump of Peter's amputated left arm.
- 31:45Speaker 1: It was spreading rapidly, moving outwards in all directions. The
- 31:49Speaker 1: purple vines were growing as if in a time-lapse video,
- 31:53Speaker 1: with each passing second covering more of Peter's face and
- 31:56Speaker 1: the surfaces around him. The squirming, Constantly shifting vines were
- 32:01Speaker 1: crawling up the IV pole. With sudden, incredible force, the
- 32:05Speaker 1: vines grabbed the IV pole and picked it up effortlessly.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Then it was thrown violently through the window at the
- 32:11Speaker 1: far side of the room, shattering into pieces.' What the
- 32:14Speaker 1: hell was that?' I heard someone shout from outside the room.' Help!'
- 32:19Speaker 1: I managed to yell, my voice finally working after several
- 32:22Speaker 1: attempts to scream. Peter's eyes shot open, the whites of
- 32:25Speaker 1: them no longer white. but instead a swirling purple. The
- 32:30Speaker 1: vines propelled him upwards until he was hovering suspended in
- 32:33Speaker 1: the center of the room. Then he locked eyes with me.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Vines shot out from the wriggling mass, leaping at me
- 32:40Speaker 1: like cobras. They wrapped around my neck and arms, squeezing
- 32:43Speaker 1: hard until I could see my limbs beginning to turn
- 32:46Speaker 1: purple from lack of oxygen. My fingers began to tingle
- 32:49Speaker 1: as if falling asleep, the sensation turning into pins and
- 32:53Speaker 1: needles and then nothing at all. My hands were a dark,
- 32:56Speaker 1: violent shade of purple now, reminding me of how Peter
- 33:00Speaker 1: had looked before all of this. That seemed like a
- 33:04Speaker 1: hundred years ago now, but it had only been a
- 33:07Speaker 1: few minutes. Just as I felt myself losing consciousness, the
- 33:11Speaker 1: door burst open behind me. I managed to turn my
- 33:14Speaker 1: head enough to see the vines were all over the
- 33:16Speaker 1: room now, making it look like the inside of some
- 33:19Speaker 1: enormous creature which had swallowed us whole.' What the hell?'
- 33:23Speaker 1: a doctor said from the doorway. before screaming loudly, Lock
- 33:27Speaker 1: it down! We've got a grower! He turned around and
- 33:30Speaker 1: began to run, but it was too late. A vine
- 33:34Speaker 1: shot through his skull like a blade, and I watched
- 33:36Speaker 1: him fall lifelessly to the ground a second later. The
- 33:40Speaker 1: vines began to wrap him up and envelop him, growing
- 33:43Speaker 1: and spreading down his throat and into his ears. A
- 33:47Speaker 1: klaxon began to howl, drowning out the sounds of my struggles.
- 33:51Speaker 1: The room turned red with the light of a hazard
- 33:53Speaker 1: beacon on the ceiling. and I felt the vines around
- 33:56Speaker 1: my neck loosening. I looked at Peter and saw his
- 34:00Speaker 1: attention had shifted to the breeze coming from the open window.
- 34:03Speaker 1: He clearly wanted to escape, and that was outweighing any
- 34:08Speaker 1: desire he had to murder me. After a few long seconds,
- 34:12Speaker 1: he finally dropped me and I fell to the floor,
- 34:14Speaker 1: gasping for air. To my horror, I looked up and
- 34:19Speaker 1: saw Peter climbing out the window. The vines grasped the
- 34:22Speaker 1: window's edges like extra limbs. and he was outside a
- 34:26Speaker 1: second later, the slithering mass of viney tentacles following him.
- 34:30Speaker 1: The desert wind rushed in, and a blast of sand
- 34:33Speaker 1: hit my face, blinding me. Then the door burst open again,
- 34:37Speaker 1: and screams of horror could be heard from the security
- 34:40Speaker 1: personnel in the hallway. Luckily, they had missed the worst
- 34:44Speaker 1: of it, and managed to contain and kill the remaining
- 34:47Speaker 1: lifeforms in the room using a freezing agent like a
- 34:50Speaker 1: massive fire extinguisher. Afterwards, I exited the room, coughing up
- 34:55Speaker 1: white dust, but thankful to be alive. Scars across my
- 35:01Speaker 1: neck and wrists serve as evidence of what I've been through,
- 35:04Speaker 1: despite the government's denials. I've been trying to spread the
- 35:08Speaker 1: word since all of this happened, even though it meant
- 35:11Speaker 1: a dishonorable discharge from the military. Some have even accused
- 35:15Speaker 1: me of treason, but it doesn't matter. They can lock
- 35:19Speaker 1: me up in their secret prison beneath the desert for
- 35:21Speaker 1: all I care. It only matters that this gets out
- 35:24Speaker 1: to the public. People need to know. They need to
- 35:27Speaker 1: be ready. Something escaped from Area 51. And it won't
- 35:32Speaker 1: stop until we've all been assimilated. Thanks for watching. Be
