A touch, light as the brush of a finely-woven spider web,
slid over his arm, instantly raising goose bumps. He looked up with a start,
catching sight of a dark shadow as it moved and then solidified briefly into
white.
Blood thundered in his ears as he waited for the white
human-like shape to fully form. Instead, it faded and dissolved before a
disturbing image flared briefly in his head: the white headstones of a
cemetery.
He stared incredulously into the space that had been
occupied by…something. “I’m going bloody crazy,” he muttered. What was with
this place? For a little while the fear associated with Karlcodi had
eased—particularly when he’d been here with Marina. Alone, and all the
weirdness of the hospital was creeping back into his psyche.
“Bloody hell!” He slammed the poetry book closed. Leaving it
on the bed he bounded to his feet. There was nobody else—nothing in the room.
Yet the spirit and the vision had been clear as crystal.
He all but sprinted to the door, a prickling sensation at
his nape disappearing the moment he gained access to the corridor.
