DOCTOR - Hello Vivian, my name is Doctor Sheer and I will looking after you tonight. Now you were in a horrible accident tonight and have had a minor concussion so I'm going to need you to stay here overnight.

VIVIAN - What about my sister?

DOCTOR - Tina has also had a concussion tonight and other injuries so she'll have to stay overnight too.

VIVIAN - What other injuries? Is she okay?

DOCTOR - Well, Tina's injuries are a little more extreme but she will be fine.  We are taking very good care of your sister.

VIVIAN - Can I see her?

DOCTOR - She is very tired and just about asleep so I think it's best to see her tomorrow morning. 

VIVIAN - Do my parents know what happened?

DOCTOR - The nurses have already contacted your parents and they are on their way to the hospital.  They mentioned on the phone that there was a lot of traffic so don't panic if they're here late.  

VIVIAN - What about my phone?  Do you have my phone and my bag?

DOCTOR - Your phone was demolished in the crash and the nurses have locked your bag in the cupboard next to you.  

VIVIAN - Okay.

DOCTOR - Well I have another patient to see so I'll leave you to rest; good night.

As the doctor left the room, Vivian lay back and gazed up at the roof.  It was old looking and the cream paint was peeling off.  she titled her head to the side to see more paint peeling of the side of the wall.  She saw something black underneath.  She looked back up at the roof but instead of black underneath she saw the same colour cream on both layers of the paint.  She sat up, made sure nobody was looking and got out of the bed.  She walked over to the wall and was interrupted by a loud...

NURSE #1 - Hey!

VIVIAN - Gah!

NURSE #1 - What do you think you are doing? 

VIVIAN - I'm sorry, I just-

NURSE #1 - Yeah.  Go back to bed.  It's the Doctor's orders. 

VIVIAN - Sorry.

The nurse walked out with a frustrated sigh.  It was almost like she was trying to protect the wall!  She walked over to the nurse's desk and started speaking to another nurse.  

NURSE #1 - Keep and eye on room 132.  She should be in bed.

NURSE #2 - Was she not in bed just then?

NURSE #1 - No.  She was walking over to the wall.

They both looked over to Vivian's room at the same time and then looked back at each other.  They had a concerned look on their faces as if they knew exactly was underneath the paint on that wall.
