Had I been slightly more awake I was sure the plan I concocted was stupid but with a sleepy and severely underdressed look, I held out my crystal making it glow softly.

The door easily opened just enough I could slip through. Once through the door that before in the girl’s wing had looked eerie, now felt intimidating as the glowing halls faded out to darkness with the hallways spanning out for what looked like miles. The shadows in the halls felt frightening.

“There’s nothing to be scared of.” I said in a whisper, I held my camera as if a consolation to the feeling I was dumb enough to come out alone.

While I walked down the hall I considered numerous times turning back as shadows made me slow or the soft running of a cleaner or repairmen’s cart went down a hall close by.

“It’s probably just Burt.” I said, trying to calm my nerves as I came to Mr. Jacobsen’s room that’s door held open.

The blobs hung stagnant in the air but they glowed with a soft hue. Glancing around, and behind me down the hall, still left me feeling exposed as the glow of the floors and the dark shadows were all I found within view.

Taking the picture took seconds and this time I was moving before the photo had appeared as I crept past his room and knew it was only a short distance to the atrium.

Peeking around the corner to the hall of the atrium, I almost lost my nerve. What once seemed interesting and inviting about the atrium now looked foreboding as the mist within swirled and the hall seemed slightly darker than the rest.

Pursing my lips, I suddenly had a clarity that made me glance around with nervousness. What was I doing? Was I honestly out taking pictures for fun at one a.m?

I was about to turn away when my eyes caught something on the floor in front of the atrium.

Glancing around, I knew I should go back before I did get in trouble, but the knowledge that something was on the floor before the shifting bubbled wall was a tantalizing adventure.

Making my feet move slowly to the place only a few feet down the hall, I crept. I leaned down and examined the substance on the floor, tilting my head with my camera in one hand I put it to my nose and it had no smell save earth as I noticed it was like dirt or something very close to it, maybe even clay from the way it slightly clung to my fingers.

“What is this?” I questioned quietly as suddenly a swirl in the mist made me look up.

There was nothing within the bubble wall yet, that piercing feeling held in my chest as I stood up slowly and glanced around.

Just take the picture and get out Quil, this was a horrible idea, I scolded myself.

Holding up my camera I took the picture and the slight flash illuminated the mist but nothing stood in it to my great relief.
