Chapter 11: Don't Turn Around

storymaster Horror 13 Feb 2026

The lights flicked off, and Mindy and Seth only had their phone flashlights to guide them through the darkened building where they worked. The asylum was where they both worked, but when they got their that night, things were different. No patients, no other workers, and the locked doors behind them. Then the lights turned off all by themselves, turning suspicion into absolute terror. Mindy freaked out, and that overstimulation caused Seth to make a promise he couldn't keep. To get them out. Alive.

"Are you sure this is the way to the emergency exit?" Mindy asked, following Seth closely.

"Yeah, they should be just up here," he responded reassuringly.

Five minutes later, they were still wandering. Passing the same conference rooms multiple times trying to get to the exit. Mindy grabbed onto her boyfriend's hand for comfort.

"I thought we were almost there," she whispered, a feeling of terror coming on her.

"We'll be there soon," he confidently told her, though not feeling that way. They had passed the same bulletin board for the third time that minute.

"Mindy," a soft voice whispered in her ear, like a gentle breeze. Mindy jerked forward.

"Was that you?" she asked Seth.

"Was what just me?" he asked confused.

"You just whispered my name. Right?" she began to get freaked out again.

"Uh, no." he responded, "You're just hearing things."

"Okay," Mindy said, though not very convinced.

They walked on for a little longer before Seth started acting weird.

"What?" he asked his frightened girlfriend.

"I didn't say anything," Mindy responded, grabbing onto his hand even tighter.

"I swear you just said my name," he pressed on.

"That wasn't me," she stayed firm.

"There, did you hear that?" he asked her, stopping abruptly, and turning toward her.

"No," a confused Mindy responded. Suddenly she heard something whisper her name again.

"Mindy."

"Someone, or something is whispering my name," Mindy told Seth.

"Same," he agreed. It dawned on them that next second, as if it had been in the back of their brains all along, just refusing to come out. They weren't the only ones in the asylum. Seth screamed.
