Insane Asylum
If a door slams in an empty, cold, hospital with only spirits and demons to witness it, does it make a sound? How about a scream? Or even a muffled cry? Death's in every corner, beckoning you but you are too occupied running from that creaking footstep to notice. Green Hills Insane Asylum.

'No, stop...'Phoebe cried out in her sleep. Sweat dripping from her forehead. In her mind, in her dreams, she saw the ghostly figure walking towards her. He was tattered and ripping at his own transparent skin. He was backing her into a corner, his eyes red and limitless. To stare into them was to look into death alone. Phoebe was finally ripped out of her sleep from her alarm clock. The same dream for the past two weeks, and it never stopped to terrorize her thoughts.

Phoebe's hands shook as she brought the glass of orange juice to her cracked lips. Monica looked at Phoebe with great concern. She brought her hand up to Phoebe's forehead in a motherly fashion.
"Pheebs, you okay? You're warm." Monica asked. Phoebe nodded.
"Same dream?" Rachel asked, setting a plate of hotcakes in front of her. Phoebe nodded reluctantly. "Maybe you should see a therapist?" Rachel suggested. Phoebe stood up.
"No, it's just junk food too late. And this hectic schedule. Not to mention this new job having me all freaked out." Phoebe said, referring to her recent job as a medium. She had perfected her talents of communicating with the crossed over, and now she was getting paid to rid places of spirits. Ross set down his newspaper.
"Do you want someone to stay with you tonight?" he asked. "We could all hang out at your place." he suggested.
"Wait, I can't. I've got a date." Rachel said quickly. Ross and Rachel were still in that awkward stage where they were trying to hurt each other in any way that they could.
"Oh do you?" Ross asked, crossing his arms. He was trying to sound as if he didn't care, but failed.
"As a matter of fact I do. He's a doctor." She said.
"Oh is he?" Ross asked again.
"But not one like you, Ross. See, he's a REAL doctor and not one that deals with things that have died MILLIONS of years ago." She said coldly.
"Oh really?" Ross asked. Chandler rolled his eyes and walked up to Ross.
"Oh stop that." Chandler said, mocking Ross. Rachel snickered to herself, then focused on Phoebe. "But if you want, I could bring him over to your place tonight." she said. She was now ecstatic about bringing him over in front of Ross.
"You guys would really do that?" Phoebe asked, touched. Usually she wouldn't want all of them there, but the way this dream was terrorizing her, she wouldn't mind having the entire US Army outside her place.
"Of course." Joey said. "We love ya Pheebs." he added. Phoebe smiled and stood.
"Okay. I'll see you guys at, like, seven. I have to get to the Library and tell an old lady to keep the books on the shelf or go to hell where she belongs." she smiled. "Bye." And then she left. The room was silent.
"Wow. She seems pretty torn up about that dream." Rachel said sitting down a considerable distance away from Ross.
"I know." Monica began, 'and I guess she's also having like, visions. She says it's of her own death. It's giving me the creeps."
"What if it's true?" Joey asked. No one wanted to think of this, but the truth was that it had crossed all of his or her minds a few times. What if Phoebe was going to die?
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))) )))))))))(((((((((((((((((((((
"We're HERE!" Chandler sang.
"AND! We've brought beer!" Joey added. Phoebe smiled.
"Hey guys." she greeted. She hugged Monica. Rachel soon came in, arms around an attractive man whom she assumed to be the doctor, and Ross soon moped in behind. Everyone greeted her and made themselves comfortable.
"Phoebe, this is Dr. Ayden Patrick." Rachel said patting his stomach proudly. He seemed a bit annoyed by this gesture.
"Please, you know, you don't have to introduce me with a title each time I meet someone new." He said. Ross silently snickered.
"So, Ayden, What is it you are a doctor in?" Joey asked.
"I study the human brain and insanities and phobias." he said matter- of-factly.
"Whole 'nother language." Joey said, bringing the beer rim to his lips.
"Well, Phoebe, Rachel explained your unordinary line of work and I'd have to be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued. Tell me, can you really communicate with the dead?" Ayden asked. Phoebe nodded.
"I've always been able to. But it's just now that, y'know; I feel like my skill is powerful and mature enough to be used-" Phoebe stopped when she noticed that Ayden had been taking notes. "Wha-what are you doing there?" she asked. Ayden looked up. His green eyes glistening.
"I'm just verifying what you're saying." he said.
"Y'huh, why?" she asked shortly. She didn't much like not being in on something. Everyone looked at him for an answer. He sat up and put his notes away.
"Okay. Here's the deal. I used to work at an insane asylum," he began. "And I believe that it is what you would call 'haunted.' It's called Green Hills." he said. Suddenly, An image of the demon in Phoebe's dream flashed across her mind, screaming.
"Wow. What would happen?" Rachel asked, pretending to be totally infatuated by the whole thing.
"The usual cases. Things moving. Screaming in the night. Nurses from the past still walking the hallways." he said.
"Are 'ya serious??" Joey asked looking equally frightened to everyone else. Minus Ross, whom simply rolled his eyes at the very thought of it.
"And you left because of the hauntings?" Chandler asked.
"Well, that and lack of funding. They shut it down when it went bankrupt. But I myself had an occurrence." he said.
"What happened?" Phoebe asked.
"I was in the lab late one night-"
"When your eyes beheld an eerie sight?" Chandler joked. Everyone looked at him. "You did the monster mash?" he tried again. No one laughed. "Fine. Continue."
"Well, I was putting in the recent brain wave numbers of patient 957, insomnia sufferer, when I heard a knock at the door. I went to answer it but-"
"There was no one there, right?" Ross mocked. Rachel hit her fists together and looked back at Ayden.
"It's a long story." She said to Ayden. "Go ahead."
"Actually, there was someone was there. It was a man, well, a ghost. He had long hair, sharp yellow teeth and red eyes. He was secured in a straight jacket, and he had blood all over his patient uniform." he studied everyone's horrific faces. Phoebe looked as if she were in a trance.
"His eyes seemed to go on forever." she said. Everyone then looked at her, puzzled. "There were chains around his neck and he was grabbing at his skin, screaming about the invisible bugs that were eating him." she said. Ayden nodded.
"Yes, that's incredible!" he said in an astonished tone. "How did you know that?"
"You want me to go to this horrible place don't you?" she asked. Ayden nodded. Phoebe's eyes brimmed with tears. "Why?"
"Phoebe, once you see this place you'll understand. It's remarkable. It deserves to be occupied." he began.
"And?" she asked.
"And I left some very valuable research there when I left. I need it back. I can't go back there alone." he finished. Phoebe began to shake her head and list reasons why she wouldn't do it. "I'll pay. Above average, I'll pay you." he said. Phoebe looked at him. Phoebe studied the stack of bills sitting on her dining room table. Some were marked with shut off notices and final chances.
"H-how much?" she asked shakily.
"10 grand." he said. "For the first night." he said.
"How many nights do I have to stay there?!?" her voice raised.
"Three." he said. "I'll pay you 20 for the second. 30 for the third."
"You're crazy!" Phoebe said standing.
"Am I?" he asked. "With all dear respect, I'm not the one who can talk to the dead." he said honestly, but not hurtfully. "All in all, 60 thousand dollars is yours for three nights in a well lit, well powered hospital."
"That's haunted by a ghost that's pretty pissed off?" Joey added. Everyone looked at Phoebe carefully.
"I'll go with you." Ross said nobly. He studied the shock and amazement in everyone's faces.
"You'd go with Phoebe to a place that's haunted?" Rachel asked flatly. Ross looked around, swallowed, and then nodded.
"I don't believe in stuff like that. And I guess, I'll just tag along out of curiosity. I can probably find a rational explanation." He insisted.
"I'll go too." Joey said bravely. "I mean, I take a recorder and record these sightings and 'voila!' instant millionaire." he emphasized.
"I doubt that." Chandler said. "But, I guess I'll tag along too. Just to watch out for Joey. And you Pheebs." he said. Phoebe smiled.
"Really you guys? You'd go?"
"Yea!" they said in unison.
"I'll go too." Rachel said looking at Ross. There was a long, pause between the two, with only a longing glance shared in between, until Rachel looked at Ayden. "Will you be there Ayden?" she asked. Ayden nodded. "I'll go."
"And I need to go because, Hell, how many times in your life do you get to be totally freaked out?" Monica added. "I'm there."
"Okay." Ayden grinned. "Let's have some fun tonight because we leave tomorrow morning."
