You both were in the strange job, becoming friends over the years while working with eery creatures with labels. It seemed your friend was infected though. It was confusing because before that day, the whole town went empty. The silence was deafening as you and your friend navigated the eerie hallways, the only sound being the echoes of your own footsteps.

You ran through the halls, the dim lighting casting long, ominous shadows on the walls as you desperately tried to put distance between yourself and your once-trusted companion. As you raced down the deserted corridors, you couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. Your mind raced with questions, trying to make sense of the surreal situation unfolding around you.

You and your friend had been inseparable, sharing countless inside jokes and swapping stories during the long nights spent on duty. But now, as you darted through the labyrinthine building, your heart pounded in your chest with a mix of fear and confusion. Why was he chasing after you? What had caused this sudden and inexplicable change in him?

Finally, you found a closet and hastily slipped inside, the smell of dust and old belongings enveloping you as you pressed yourself against the back wall. The darkness of the cramped space pressed in around you as you struggled to control your panicked breaths, straining to hear any trace of your friend's approach.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as you crouched in the cramped confines of the closet, your muscles tensed and ready to spring into action at the first sign of danger. The tension in the air was palpable, and every creak and whisper seemed to reverberate through the enclosed space, heightening your sense of unease.

Suddenly, the quiet was shattered by the sound of footsteps approaching. Your heart leaped into your throat as the realization set in - he had found you. The stale air seemed to grow even heavier as you braced yourself for whatever might come next, the dread of the unknown weighing heavily on your mind.
