Codex - Night Nurse

(this is the first ever interactive Codex story - it is of the "unique" setting I've devised, allowing it to be set wherever I feel it suits best after completion in terms of my Codex canon : these stories tend to have "monster of the week" formulas unless we find some very interesting ones.. this one shall focus on the legend of the Night Hag.. taken to a place only Codex can..)

Prologue
The scene begins in an old-fashioned hospital at night with nothing but moonlight to illuminate the room as a young man lay in bed staring up at the ceiling in silence as others slept in the surrounding beds : he continued to stare up at the ceiling as the ward door opened and a figure entered wheeling in a metal table filled with medical equipment.

The sounds of wheels against the tiled floor coupled with those of smart shoes as the figure made their way across the ward, stopping as they came to the foot of the bed where the man finally dared to glance over, a cold sweat dripping down his brow.

"Sick little boys and girls must sleep.. you know the rules.. lights out.." a sinister voice spoke out as skeletal arms reached over and the man felt every muscle in his body tense as he closed his eyes and prepared himself, razor sharp claws extending from boney fingers as the hands clenched around his head.

The sound of muffled screaming echoed across the ward as the scene panned out to show the exterior of an elegant looking building surrounded by an iron fence and gate, above which a sign read proudly:

"Mother Sanctuary's Home of Recovery"
