The Abandoned Hospital - Animated Scary Story

I received a call the other day at work
from an old high school buddy who Ihadn't seen for several years he askedhow I was doing to which I gave him astandard answer work was fine family ohwell and then I enquired as to how hewas doing he said he was doing well andthen we went on to talk in detail aboutall times the one thing we spent themost time talking about though was whenwe were seniors and the night before thebig game my buddy and I were two of the
best players on our school's basketballteam we had made it all the way throughthe playoffs and into the final afterour last training session before the biggame we were both really nervous andcouldn't sleepwe'd been messaging each other throughthe night and decided to head out for awalk together rather than lie in bedidle with our minds racingwe met on overpass that was equidistantfrom our homes it was near an oldabandoned hospital that hadn't beenoccupied for several years since it hadbeen condemned for significantstructural issues it had fallen intocomplete disarray and was now a refugefor the homeless and the stray we talked
about what the future would hold if weplayed well tomorrow college scouts maypick us up and then we would be set myfriend said all he wanted was to get ascholarship into medical school as itwas his dream of becoming a surgeon Ijust wanted to play ball that's allafter talking for around an hour a lightwent on in the abandoned hospitalbuilding behind usfollowed by some faint yet chillingcrying and screaming of a young child weboth couldn't just stand still andlisten to thisso we decided to go and investigate wasthis a good idea well keep listening andyou tell me we went up to the top floorand found the room but the light on thescreams had stopped however we werestill feeling very uncomfortable as towhat we might find so I grabbed a pipeand my buddy a piece of wood asmakeshift weapons in case we needed todefend ourselves or rescue someone we
entered the room and as we did the placewent completely dark I called out to myfriend who called back and then the roomchanged it was terrifying it went frombeing the abandoned room with brokenglass and debris strewn everywhere towhat look like an old operating theaterno one was there but we could see it wasjust us and this creepy old and coldroomwe were both bewildered as to where ithad come from and what it all meantmoments latermy buddy screamed out as his ankle gaveway and he fell to the ground inexcruciating painhe had twisted it somehow and could nolonger stand on his own at this pointthe room changed back to the same trashfilled room devoid of any humans and weboth agreed it would be best if we gotthe hell out of there as quickly aspossible my friend not being able towalk properly required my assistance andit took us ages to make our way downmultiple flights of stairs to the groundalong the way we heard a baby laughingwhich was the final swirl and it feltlike an eternity and we had made itsafely back to the bottom into the nightwe went into an emergency room for myfriend we reported what had happened atthe abandoned building which the nurseonly half believed however she didarrange for a police car to bedispatched out there to check it out wenever heard the result the next day my
friend's foot was in a cast his anklehad somehow sustained a fracture he wasdevastated that he was unable to play inthe big game as it turned out there werecollege scouts there and my friend wasunable to showcase his skills and due tothe extent of his injuries still beingunknown he was given no considerationfor a scholarship he was heartbroken we
ended up losing the game that night andwe were shattered we didn't really keepin touch much post that I went on tostudy business at a fairly unknowncollege and he went on to become acomputer programmer as without ascholarship medical school was no longerin his reach
his dream of becoming a surgeon nevereventuated and I often thought aboutthat night and how things would haveturned out differently on the court ifhe was able to play but as it turns outthe reason for his call was that hewanted to tell me was one of the bestthings that had ever happened to himreally I asked how so he explained that
over a year or so into his computerscience degree he had several fits overseveral weeks he was then diagnosed withepilepsy which would have ruled him outof becoming a surgeon at least for manymany years with medication he was ableto manage the fits and went on to designa revolutionary research softwarepackage for children's hospitals whichhad untold current and future benefits Itold him I thought this was fantasticbut had to ask why he chose to develop asoftware package for children'shospitals he said he didn't really knowbut after what happened that night inthe abandoned hospital and after notwinning a scholarship something hadcontinued to drive him to lend a hand tomedical science somehow we talked for a
few more minutes before ending the callpromising to catch up again sometimesoon both knowing we probably wouldn'twhen I think about that night I reallyhave no explanation as to what it was wesaw or what happened to my friend Iguess I'll never know
