Terror gripped me as I felt my way along the abandoned hospital's dark corridor; of the nine in our group, only I remained.
My breath caught in my throat when a broken bottle scuttled across the debris-strewn tile floor as my foot made contact.
If I was heard, I'd never make it out of here.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.
It's coming!
I frantically grasped for any opening in the wall, hoping to find a hiding spot.
I need to hide, NOW!
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.
Suddenly, the air turned frigid; Its malevolent presence surrounded me.
Hiding was no longer an option.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. As for a following drabble, that's always a possibility. The setting of this one fits rather well with a couple I wrote quite a while back, so who knows?
Personally, I love writing horror, and for a while now, I've been working on a fantasy novel, so I suppose I just couldn't resist dipping my toes back into the suspiciously calm, dark waters of my mind.
