She went in for tests. She was never meant to come out.
At 49, newly divorced and starting over in Cypress Hollow, Florida,
Angie collapses in her kitchen and wakes up at St. Dymphna Medical
Center - a hospital tucked deep in the woods that she's never heard
of. The nurses smile too wide. Patients vanish from their beds in the
night, their belongings left behind. And Angie wakes with stitches she
never consented to.
A janitor named Luis slips her a note: "They're harvesting. You're next."
In the basement morgue, Angie finds the truth laid out in rows: bodies
missing organs, coolers labeled for transport, ledgers detailing
patient "yields." Dr. Halvorsen's black-market empire runs on people
no one will miss - and Angie, alone and "too sick to be discharged,"
is next on the table.
A chilling medical-horror novella about the hospital that harvests its
patients - and the woman who decided to burn it down.
