The room was eerily quiet.
I sat in the recliner beside Nora's bed, my eyes growing heavy, the amber light of the ward dimming at the edges of my vision the way it did when sleep was minutes away.
Nora's breathing was slow and even. The monitor beeped softly above her head. I felt at ease and allowed myself settle deeper into the chair.
I let my eyes close and the second it did, I heard a loud crash.
I jerked upright, my heart slamming. My eyes flew to Nora first and when I found her still asleep, I disturbed, I turned towards the door.
"Doran?" My voice came out too loud for the quiet room. There was nothing. I waited for the large man to pull open the door, but the corridor beyond the small window panel in the door had gone completely dark. "Doran."
No answer.
I got up slowly and moved towards the door to push it open and step out.
The corridor was empty.
