I looked up at the abandoned building curiously. It was obviously old and no one was ever seen entering but everyday I pass it I hear sounds. The building looked like an old water treatment facility but I couldn't find anything about it online. Everyday I hear sounds from inside but I guessed that it was just homeless people or kids doing drugs. I swallowed hard. Today though, I heard a woman scream. A blood curdling scream, not a scream of joy or fright, but a scream of pain. I wanted to call the police. I could be wrong. I could get in trouble for wasting their time. I better check first. Once I know for sure I'll call. I approached the rusty metal door. I swing it open and it creaks so loud that I look around to see if any on Lookers noticed. No one's around. I start back into the building. A wave of hot moist air hits me inside. It felt like a sauna. My body is already covered in sweat. I walk back out and remove my backpack and jacket. I pull a hunting knife from my backpack that I use for safety. I went back inside. It was dark inside so I turned the light on my phone on. I scan the area. There are two windows with the blinds completely drawn and a reception desk with chairs lining the wall. I check behind the desk. Nothing's there. There's a bathroom. Its empty. I continued on to a pair of  double doors at the back of the room. The doors was completely wet. It looked as if the door was sweating. I pull open the door and a wave of heat hits me even harder than the one from the first door. I feel so slow.my clothes feel heavy. The hall way is dark with nothing inside. It looks like an empty hospital hallway without lights. My breathing picks up. I slowly walk down the hallway and flash my light into rooms to see inside. Unlike in movies all the rooms were completely cleaned out with only a stagnent dusty air. There were no papers lying around or broken flasks. There were lots of signs of water damage I would imagine caused by this incredibly moist atmosphere. It was becoming harder to breath. My throat felt swollen. I continued forward until I got to the end of the hallway. There was a hallway perpendicular to the one I just came out of and in front of me was a stair case going up and another going down. After very little consideration I decided to head down and work my way up. I started downward. My body is heavy and sluggish as I inch farther and farther down. I hear something. The sound of something scraping against metal. I quickly pull out my knife. I continued down the stairs slowly. I reach the mid point we're I have to turn. The moment I look down at the bottom of the stairs I see something small skitter across the floor. My body jumps at the sight. It reminded me of a rat running but the sound was strange. Like it had more than four legs and each hit powerfully. I thrust the knife out in front of the phones light as if to show the creature that I have a weapon. It was probably a rat. I'm just being overly cautious. I haven't heard any large rats run around before so how would I know how it sounds. I sigh. Yeah it's fine. Rats are scared of humans right? If there are anymore they'll probably run away. I continued down. Even with my personal excuse I'm incredibly nervous, much more so than before. My steps seem to have echoed louder down here so I remove my shoes. I silently hug the wall as I continued farther in. Odd, there are no doors. The hall was surprisingly short ending in double doors. I had thought there might be more rooms in the basement floor for storage but I guess not. I wonder where that rat went.I touch the slick double doors. Shhhhh. I jump back clutching my hand.it burned me.this must be the source of the heat in here. I put my socks on my hands like makeshift oven mitts. I quickly move through the door way. It was swealteringly hot. It felt as if I was melting in this heat. My body was more sluggish than ever. I should have just called the cops. Why did I think this was a good idea. I was in a giant open room that seemed to take up the entire bottom floor. There were pillars that made a grid on the inside. The walls were completely white tiles. Rust and grime  was all across the ceiling and walls. In the back of the room was what looked like a boiler. It had a large cylinder shape with a window that had fire inside. What was in the center of the room really caught my attention. I gaged. Mutilated bodies lied in a heap on the floor. It was a piles of torn flesh and pertruding broken bones. Blood was splattered all around the putrid mess. I turn to open the door but this side had no knobs. 'click' 'click' I hear a sound behind me. I turn quickly and push my back as close to the door as I can with out touching it. Out of the rotting bodies a twitching body rose. It was a girl with white skin. That's the closest thing I could compare it to at least. It had no hair and it was completely naked. It's body was pasty and looked like leather. It was covered in open wounds the were crudely sown together. The face was anything but human. It had bulging eyes and a broken hanging jaw. It's had what looked like fangs putting out from its nose less face. 'click 'click'. 'click' click. What I now know is the clacking of exposed ribs cause two more of the creatures to arise. The stand facing away from each other in a triangle. The one facing me looks into my soul. It's stare cause me to try to move side ways to get out of it's line of sight. 'click'click' it's ribs move. I move away again. A horrible stretch it emitted from its face. They all come barrelling towards me. It was then that I noticed they were sown together in various places. They had to stay in the triangle formation but they each tried to trip the other ones to get to me first. I dash in a line away from them. 'click'click' they ram into the door. I keep staring at them. Just like every other room it's completely dark here. I have to keep my light on it. I clutch the knife harder. The creatures screech from the Burns they get. The one facing me is pused to the ground and the other two try to crawl over it to get to me. I dash to the boiler. There has to be some reason for it. It's hot. My body is so sluggish. The floor is slick. I don't have shoes. It's so hard to move. I find myself throwing my self in a direction rather than running. My breath gets heavier and I become more tired with every step. I reach the boiler and there's nothing on it. No knobs or switches just a window. 'click'click' it's getting closer behind me. The only thing on it was the window.the winfow was about a yard in diameter and is a half circle shape. 'click'click' no time. I grab the small handle on the window and throw it open. I turn around to see the creatures thrashing and crawling near me. Their body's don't move fluidly but in twitches like every movement breaks something. The hiss as they move closer. Almost on me now. They reach to grab me but I throw my body to the side and move around them. I try to keep the light on them. The one on the side I ran past lunges at me. I get grabbed. My leg is his now. Its nails were like talons ripping into my flesh. "Arrrhhh" I roar as I lift my knife and plunge it right between it's bulging bug eyes. It gargles a scream at me and moves it head to the ground as if to shield it from farther harm. It grabs the knife and starts to pull it out. With one more roar I lift my leg and stop with all my strength. Its head is sent straight through the knife. A squashing sound echoes. Its head was softer than I thought. I scream. My knife went through his crushed skull and through my foot. The other two are now starting to crawl over the dead one towards me. I grab the knifes handle and pull with all my strength. It slices cleanly through me as it comes out. Blood oozes from my foot and I bite hard on the collar of my shirt to help with the pain. I get my foot free and reobtain my knife in a horribly swift motion. I scream as I crawl away. I'm jerked back. It's hand still has my foot. I take the knife and stab at his thumb. I hack at it a few times and it come off but I also cut myself. I'm try to dash away again but I'm jerked back again. I took to long. One of them grabbed my injured foot. He tightens his grip and blood oozes faster than before. Aaaahhhh. I scream as I go to stab his arm. 'click'click'. The other bites the one grabbing me before I can stab it. It's fangs sink into the arm of the one holding me. Hssssss. It gargles a scream before letting go of my foot. I quickly slide away as fast as I can. My already tired, hot body is now losing blood fast. I pull out my belt and tighten it around my leg to reduce blood flow. I rip off my shirt and tie it around my wounded foot. I use the nearest pillar to help me to my feet. My first aid gave the creatures time to stop fighting and start after me. I try to move backwards away from them but I'm to slow. Its freaking hot. I could move much better than this if it wasnt this hot. I slip on the blood soaked mound of flesh. My body is now covered in blood. I look to see if there are any clothes or weapons I can use. Nothing. I sift through the awful smelling mounds. I wince a bone with a sharp broken edge cut my arm. This gave me an idea. I pull out as many pertruding bones as I can. If I grab it and I have to struggle to pull it out I leave it to save time. 'click'click'. It's close again. There is an almost full torso here. I crawl over it so that it's between me and it. I pull the body up like I'm hugging it and slowly stand. 'click'click' they're reaching for my leg. I leap off my good foot toward the creature. I fall right on top of it and it screams when I land on it. I leave the torso that's sandwiched between us and roll off to the safe side. It tries to shake it off while the other tries to climb over it causing it to be tossed one way then pulled the other. I limp up close to it and take 2 of the 4 bones I managed to get and stab the eyes of the female looking one that is trying to crawl over the male one. She screams and moves away while clutching the bones to pull them out. This allows the male to roll the body off. I try to throw my body away from him but I'm to slow. He gabs up and sieges my hips. He lifts up his body and bites into my side. Arrrgghhh. I grunt as I react by stabbing at him. IT HURTS. "GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF" I scream over and over with each stab. I can't go on much more. I think it died after the second stab but it won't let go. Let go. "Let go" I continued to scream while stabbing. It's hard to think. My head feels so empty yet so heavy. I grab its head and rip it off like a tick. Hssssss the female leaps up and pushes me down. Instinctively I grab its throat. It claws at my chest and shoulders. Her face is close to mine. Her bloodied eyes gush out blood that pours all over me. It's hard to see. It's getting in my mouth. I pull out a bone from the side of my pants and stab it into it's neck. Hssssss. It continues scratching at me. It hurts so bad. It's so hot but my body's starting to feel cold. "Raghhhh" I pull the last of the bones and push it up into the roof of it's mouth. Then I gab my knife and stab it's eye over and over again. I can't stop stabbing it. I don't know when it died but I kept stabbing. Eventually I grew tired and stopped. I feel like taking a nap....
I can't. If I sleep here I'll die. My eyes shoot open. I peel the males fingers out of my hips. And push the female off of me. Ahhhh. I let out my pain and frustration in a scream. I limp over to the boiler like machine. When I finally reach it I peer inside. I remove the shirt from my foot. I bite into the shirt and pull my leg up. I throw my leg in hoping it will burn the wound close. "GRAAHHH" IT BURNS. Movies make it look a lot less painful. I instantly tried to start pulling my leg out. When I managed to get it out I throw my body away form it and scream."BAD IDEA" Over and over incoherently. After a while the shock fades but the pain stays. I examine my foot. The bleeding stopped but the skin is boiled over and leathery. I crawl over through the dark room to where the doors at. It takes me a long time to reach the other side. I try to avoid the creature and the mound of flesh. The room is still dark but I don't use the light on my phone. When I finally reach the door I burn my finger a bit. I pull my body up and pull up my light to examine the door. I cant see anything to grab on to on it. It felt light so I'm guessing it's made of thin metal. I take my knife and stab one door then angle it down I let it get caught on the teeth of the knife. I pull hard and but try to keep from tearing through the door. I pull harder and the door gives way. I grab the small opening in the door. My hand gets burned a little but I throw open the door. I fall through the door way And crawl a little way down and roll over to look at the ceiling. It's all over. I let out a long sigh and wince. I think I'll take a nap. Before I shut my eyes I noticed that the ceiling wasn't flat. I shine my light up and what I see looking down is a centipede like creature covered in skin with blood shot eyes covering its body. 'click'click' It lifts one side to reveal a mouth full of human teeth.  Hssssss. I clench my knife.
