Steingeist Asylum

He was not surprised to see all the lights on at Steingeist Asylum at such an hour. The place was always brightly lit, morning noon and night. No, what surprised him was that, in 15 years of walking past the place to and from school, this was the first time he had ever seen the gate open.

He knew he should just walk on. He knew the reputation this place had. But for some reason, he felt compelled to enter the grounds and creep up to the wall, where he climbed in the pelting rain, far enough to look in through one of the lower windows. And what he saw changed him forever.
