@nurse_roxanne_bradley: The Nurse Who Heard a Patient Calling Her Name A fictional horror story set in England It was a cold November night in 2018 when Emily Carter, a 27-year-old nurse, arrived at St. Mary's Hospital in Manchester, England, for her first night shift. Emily had been working as a nurse for nearly four years, but this was her first time working in the hospital's oldest building. The building had been constructed in the early 1900s, and many of its rooms were no longer in use. Before her shift began, the head nurse, Sarah Williams, showed her around. "Most of the hospital is quiet at night," Sarah explained. "But if you hear anything strange from the old west wing, just let me know." Emily smiled. "Strange? What do you mean?" Sarah hesitated for a moment. "Nothing serious. It's just an old building." At 1:45 a.m., Emily was checking the patients in Ward 6 when she heard a faint voice coming from the corridor. "Nurse… please help me." She looked up immediately. The ward was quiet. All the patients were asleep. Emily stepped into the corridor and looked around. "Hello? Is someone there?" There was no answer. She returned to the nurses' station and continued working. At exactly 2:13 a.m., the voice came again. This time, it was louder. "Emily… please help me." She froze. Nobody in the hospital usually called her by her first name during the night shift. She followed the sound toward the old west wing. The corridor was dark, and only a few ceiling lights were working. At the end of the hallway stood Room 13. The door was slightly open. Emily pushed it gently. Inside, there was an old hospital bed covered with a white sheet. Dust covered the furniture, and the room smelled damp. "Is anyone here?" she asked. Suddenly, the door behind her slammed shut. Emily jumped and quickly opened it. She hurried back to the nurses' station and told Sarah what had happened. Sarah's face changed when Emily mentioned Room 13. "Emily… that room hasn't been used for years." "Why not?" Emily asked. Sarah lowered her voice. "An elderly patient named Margaret Lewis died there in 1997. She had been calling for a nurse during her final hours, but the nurse assigned to her was busy in another ward." Emily stared at her. "Are you saying the voice I heard was hers?" Sarah shook her head. "I'm saying that old buildings make strange noises. Don't let your imagination get the better of you." Later that night, Emily checked the hospital's old records. She found Margaret Lewis's name in a patient database. But what frightened her was the final note in the file: "Patient repeatedly called for Nurse Emily." Emily stared at the screen. She had never worked at the hospital before. The next morning, she asked the hospital administrator about the record. He explained that the note was written by a nurse who had the same first name as Emily. Still, Emily couldn't forget what she had heard. A week later, she returned for another night shift. At 2:13 a.m., the hospital's old intercom suddenly crackled. A weak female voice whispered: "Emily…" The intercom went silent. Emily immediately called Sarah. When Sarah arrived, they checked the system. The intercom in the west wing had been disconnected for more than ten years. They also reviewed the security footage. The camera showed Emily standing alone outside Room 13. Then, for a brief moment, the hallway lights flickered. A shadow appeared behind her. Emily turned around, but there was nobody there. The next morning, the hospital temporarily closed the west wing for inspection. Emily never worked another night shift there. Years later, she still remembered the voice that had called her name. But she never found out who—or what—had been standing behind her that night.
