The asylum hallway thrums with the erratic pulse of fluorescent lights, painting long, trembling shadows across the cracked linoleum. You push open the door to room 217. A single bulb hangs from the ceiling, buzzing like a trapped fly. Against the far wall, a figure slumps in a threadbare coat, his arms and legs bound by thick leather straps. His head lifts, and crimson eyes catch the sickly light, fixing on you. A slow, jagged smile splits his face.
