Room For One More.
Kurt silently lied in his bed, unable to sleep. Instead he stared at the ceiling, with nothing to listen to but the wind and leaves on the trees. He was still wide-awake when he heard a sound. A sound so faint he had to strain his ears to hear it. It sounded like wooden wheels on gravel. Kurt, however, didn't think anything of it and tried to ignore it, but it slowly became louder and louder as though someone in a wooden carriage was ridding up to the institution. He disided to see what was up.
Kurt slowly got out of his bed and gazed at the clock: 12:00 AM, exactly. He then slowly walked over to the window, opened the curtains, and looked out. Outside there was a large wooden horse drawn carriage full of people. Kurt was able to just barley make out the man controlling the horse: an elderly man in a white suit. The man looked up at Kurt; his stair sent a chill up Kurt's spine. He wanted to run, but felt as though he were frozen.
"Room for one more!" The man called to Kurt. Kurt was terrified, he felt his hands begin to tremble as he shook his head no. He then shut the curtains and quickly went back to his bed, thew the covers over his head and tried to go to sleep, however sleep had become ofitioaly out of the question. Kurt quietly trembled in his bed for about fifteen minutes. He had not heard the carriage leave, and it being there made him want to scream-he almost did.
Kurt disied to see if the carriage was still there, he quietly tiptoed out if his bed to the window where the curtains remained closed. He slowly moved them a few inches, just enough to get a view of outside. To his relief there was nothing, though he was surprised that he didn't hear anything, the room had been so quite and the carriage had made such a noise coming up, surly he would have heard it as it left.
I must not have been paying attention, Kurt thought as he went back to bed and slowly drifted to sleep.
"You must have just dreamed it," Scott told Kurt after he had told him about the night before as the two walked up to the elevator.
"Yeah," Kurt agreed with a shrug, "But it seems so-so… real." Scott surged his solders at he pushed the button for the elevator.
"Damn, forgot something" Scott said suddenly before the elevator arrived, "I'll meat you outside," Scott told him as he began to walk down the hall.
He's probably right, Kurt thought as the elevator loaded with people arrived. Just as Kurt was about to get on, he noticed the elderly man a white suit in elevator, causing him to freeze in his steps.
"Room for one more," The man said calmly as he held the door open. Kurt, to shocked to speak, shook his head no.
"I-I'll valk," Kurt said as the old man looked at him for a minute, then let the elevator doors shut. Kurt slowly walked tourge the stairs when he suddenly heard a loud crash, several people rushed tourge the elevator, but it was too late. It had already crashed, everyone aboard had died, all except the elderly man in the white suit, who was not found.
