Gate of hell

Inside a psychiatric facility, as light drips from the hanging bulbs in the ceiling, a woman in her thirties wanders toward the dining hall, filled with several metal tables, struggling to focus on the details around her. An underlying anxiety creeps into her heart, driven by an internal sense of severe tension. She looks around eagerly to see one of the residents sitting in the corner of the room, having her meal and murmuring to herself softly. The woman sits near that resident but on another table, and she begins to eat her meal, then gazes into space, lost in thought. Suddenly, the facility trembles with a strong vibration and a terrifying noise. The lights cease to illuminate, and silence prevails. Everyone freezes in place, trapped in complete darkness. The woman feels her heart pounding fiercely in her chest as she tries to quickly think about what is happening. As she glanced around in the darkness, the lodger, Rebecca, saw her making her way towards the exit with unsteady steps. Her terrifying screams echoed in the dark air, and Gina saw a spark of lightning cutting through the room, illuminating Rebecca's twisted face with fear for a moment. One of the nurses screamed in horror and rushed to help Rebecca, but before he could reach her, another spark erupted, and Rebecca collapsed to the ground, watched by the wide-eyed girl. She felt a sense of panic as she witnessed the events unfolding before her in a terrifying slow motion. Then she snapped out of her daze as what she had seen in her imagination materialized in reality. She quickly noticed the electricity behaving erratically as it approached the panicked lodger. The girl looked sharply towards the flames, which immediately ceased on their own amidst everyone's astonishment. In the sudden darkness of the hospital and the silence that followed the terrifying incident, the patient Rebecca found herself surrounded by other patients, cautiously gathering, trying to make sense of what had happened. Distraction and fear gripped them, but amidst them, a heated dialogue emerged, attempting to comprehend the strange events. **Patient 1** (trembling whisper): "What... what was that? Did you see the lights?" **Patient 2** (tense tone): "Yes, and I saw Rebecca fall... as if something pushed her. This can't be natural." **Patient 3** (steady voice, attempting to conceal her concern): "It was as if the fire stopped as soon as that peculiar girl looked at it. Did anyone else see that?" **Patient 4** (bewildered): "I... I saw it. It was very strange. How did she do that?" **Patient 3** (inquisitive tone): "I don't know, but this girl previously saved Eirini from death as well. I heard she was wandering in the garden and a sturdy tree almost fell on her, but that peculiar girl, with just her gaze, held it back too. Her eyes hold a strange power." **Patient 4** (trying to sound reassuring): "Could it be possible? Perhaps it was just a coincidence, and the tree didn't completely collapse." **Patient 5**: "But what about Rebecca? And how did the fire suddenly stop?" **Patient 4** (trying to think logically): "Perhaps... perhaps it was the electrical surge that abruptly stopped, causing the fire to stop too, and the light... it could be from the storm outside. There's a logical explanation we haven't considered yet." The girl listens to their ongoing murmurs and feels perplexed and fearful of the mysterious power she might possess. She doesn't know whether to curse it or thank God for having it. The conversation ends with an unspoken agreement among the patients to stay close to each other, each trying to cope with the fear and mystery surrounding this challenging night. They head to their rooms in silence, their thoughts clouded by what transpired, and their hearts heavy with worry about what may come. The nurses move to assist the poor patient to get up, and all the patients retire to their rooms in silence. The doctors and nurses gather in the electrotherapy room, a dark and eerie place filled with treatment devices and medical beds. The girl's body lies sprawled on the medical bed, her face pale and weak, giving her a terrifying appearance. The patient desperately tries to free her body bound by tight straps, moving erratically in a desperate attempt to escape the torment. **Doctor** (issuing his instructions firmly): "Make sure the straps are securely fastened. We don't want any unnecessary injuries; this patient is extremely violent." **Nurse 1**, while trying to place the mouthguard on the patient: "Stay calm, don't force me to treat you with force." But the girl fiercely opposes her, biting her hard, causing the nurse to slap her angrily: "You wretch, what have you done?" She recoils, groaning in pain. Another nurse manages to place the mouthguard after several attempts, amid pressure and confusion following a successful second attempt: "We are ready now. We can begin." **Doctor**, looking at the device: "Start with a low dose. We need to monitor her response carefully." The patient's body starts shaking violently with each electrical pulse. The electricity is cut off after moments, then restarted again, but with greater intensity, causing her body to convulse alarmingly several times. **Nurse 1** (anxiously): "Is this normal? She's moving a lot!" **Doctor** (maintaining his composure): "These are normal reactions to the treatment. Keep going." After moments of intensive therapy, the doctor stops the device. The patient's body gradually subsides, but the psychological and physical effects are evident. **Doctor** (sighs deeply): "We're done for today. Keep her in her room and let's monitor her condition after the session." **Nurse 2**, looking at Nurse 1 who was bitten: "Are you okay?" **Nurse 1** (wiping a tear from her eye): "Yes, I'll be fine. That fool has teeth like wolves." In the midst of this heavy atmosphere, the girl loses consciousness due to the repeated shocks. The nurses transport her on a stretcher through the hospital corridor until they reach her room, where they place her on her bed with indifferent care. The patient remains lying motionless on her bed, her body twitching lightly with each tick of the clock stopped in the corner. A chilling silence fills the dark room, with the shadows of ominous shapes reflecting on the closed walls. The doctors and nurses leave the room one by one, leaving her alone, lost in her own world of pain and darkness. Her thoughts wander, and she feels helpless in the face of the tragic reality she's living, wondering if there's anything she can do to escape this torment. In this deafening silence, she begins to hear faint voices echoing in the corners of the room, as if they were calls from another world. She tries to ignore them at first, but later realizes that she's not alone, and that there's something supernatural trying to communicate with her. Suddenly, she's overwhelmed with fear and disturbance as things in the room start moving mysteriously, and the lights flicker eerily. She discovers that there are supernatural forces at work in the shadows, and that the patient is not alone in this battle against the darkness. Time freezes in a moment of overwhelming darkness, and the air around her freezes. Before her stands the imposing face of evil. The girl looks pained and trembling, her hands shaking as she faces the devil's gaze with eyes of fire. Lucifer, with a terrifyingly harsh voice: "Tell me, Gina, are you ready to surrender your soul to me? Are you ready to join me and become a part of my world?" Gina looks at Lucifer with eyes filled with horror and defiant strength, screaming loudly: "No! Never! I will not surrender my soul to you, I will not follow you into the darkness! I do not submit to you, you cannot make me a part of you!" Lucifer erupts in a sinister laugh, his face transforming into a mix of anger and disdain. "Do you think you can resist me, Gina? You have no power against me. I am the ultimate authority, and you will join me whether you want to or not." Gina steps forward slightly, her eyes shining with determination and strength. "I will not surrender to you, I will not let you control my freedom. I am stronger than you, Lucifer, and I will not allow you to control my life or my soul!" Lucifer's laughter rises again, fading slowly into the darkness as he leaves Gina alone amidst the thick shadows. "We shall see, Gina, we shall see who will prevail in the end. And you will come to know one day that no one can resist my power!" "I have killed all your family and friends, only Adam is left who I will kill soon if you do not surrender." As Lucifer fades away, Gina remains alone in the darkness, surrounded by the terrifying silence that fills the room. Amidst tears streaming freely down her cheeks, Gina's words emerge with a muted, pain-laden voice as she speaks sorrowfully to God. "Oh God, it's been ten years and I'm still in the same situation, nothing has changed. How tired I am, how frustrated and hopeless I feel. I've thought about suicide many times, but it's always been in vain. I want to enjoy life again." The events shift to the past to see ten years ago: In the spacious living room of Gina's house, a group of friends gathers around a table covered with maps and a safari guide to the deserts of Texas. The atmosphere is enthusiastic and filled with anticipation for the upcoming adventure. Gina shouts excitedly, as she's an adventurous person by nature: "Guys, this is our chance to live an adventure we'll never forget! The Texas desert awaits us!" **Adam** (Gina's partner, a calm and balanced person): "I just hope we're prepared for everything. The desert can be harsh, I've made sure we're all equipped with survival gear." **Louis** (fun-loving and always joking, Gina's childhood friend): "As long as there's a place for burger grilling, count me in! But, can anyone guarantee me that there are no ghosts in those caves?" **Sarah** (nature lover and wilderness enthusiast, a new friend in the group and Louis' girlfriend): "I'm really excited to see the stars there. The guides say the sky in the desert is so clear that you feel like you can touch the stars." **Samantha** (adventurous and daring, with a strong curiosity and in love with Michael): "Just imagine what we might discover! We might find a hidden treasure or uncover ancient secrets!" **Michael** (technology and recording enthusiast, loves documenting everything): "Don't worry, I'll capture every moment on camera. This trip will be an epic video for my YouTube channel." **Yuri** (logical and enjoys gathering information, Elisa's close friend): "I think we should carefully plan our route. There are some areas rumored to be dangerous due to wildlife and terrain." **Elisa** (calm and thoughtful, with an interest in history and legends): "It's said that there are ancient caves in that desert, full of drawings and inscriptions. It would be amazing to explore them." As the friends exchange laughter and ideas, it's clear that they share a strong bond, each bringing to the table a unique personality and a set of skills and interests that make the idea of the trip even more exciting. **Gina**: "I believe we have everything we need to make this trip successful. The most important thing is for us to stick together and support each other, no matter what we may encounter." **Adam**: "Exactly, and let's remember that safety comes first. I'll make sure everyone has an emergency plan and necessary contact numbers." **Louis**, jokingly: "As long as there's no survival test, I think I'll be fine. But seriously, I'm excited to create memories that we'll never forget!"
