Short stories: Tales of horror

by Buni

There have been skeptical people on what has happened in the Blackheart hospital scandal. I however have been inside and will shed some light on this gruesome story. A tale of betrayal so sickening it will make you shudder at the very thought of it.
Jill Clarke worked at the Blackheart Hospital for about a year. Everyone there called her miss peaches. She was a radiant woman, always cheerful to say the least. She could cheer up anyone and put a smile on their face. She used to feed the children extra peaches with their meal, Doctor Vic Allison condoned this.
