Hospitals are built for the living. But some wings-some corridors-are not made to heal. They are made to contain.St. Doran's Memorial Hospital had always stood with strange pride on the outskirts of town. It was built in 1894, burned in 1932, rebuilt in 1935, and expanded in secret during the 1970s. Its East Wing was sealed off in the early 2000s without public explanation. People said it was because of outdated wiring. Others whispered it was due to a "structural failure." But the staff knew better.They had heard the sounds.The soft sobbing of children in locked wards. The clang of trays no one had dropped. The hiss of respirators on beds that had long been vacant. And the nurse-always the nurse-with no face, no mouth, and a voice that never came from her throat, but from the vents, from the walls, from the dark.They called her the No-Mouth Nurse. And they feared her most because she didn't kill. She erased.Names. Files. Identities. Memories.One moment a patient would lie in bed, remembered, visited, loved. The next? Their wristband would read UNKNOWN. Their name on the whiteboard would vanish. Their voices would falter as if forgetting who they were mid-sentence-and then they'd simply become part of the wing. A forgotten echo. An empty bed no one ever used again.But in 2023, the East Wing reopened. Not by decision. Not by design. It opened itself.And it didn't want doctors.It didn't want patients.It wanted a witness.And that witness...was a night nurse.
