The Waiting Room at Oakwood General

A story about the waiting room on the third floor of Oakwood General Hospital, a place that exists between departures. Luna recounts the night she sat beside a woman named Evelyn, whose daughter had been in surgery for eleven hours. The fluorescent lights hummed at a frequency that made your teeth ache. The vending machine sold crackers that tasted like the box they came in. And the door to the east stairwell kept clicking open, even though the security guard had locked it at midnight. Evelyn started talking about the other patients who had sat in those chairs before us — people who had waited for news that never came, who eventually just walked into the stairwell and didn't walk back out. She spoke about them like they were still there, like they were all still waiting. And then she asked me if I could see the woman in the blue coat, sitting two seats down from mine. The one who had been waiting since 1973. This episode is about liminal spaces and the company we keep in them, and what happens when the waiting never ends. #OakwoodGeneral #WaitingRoomHorror #LiminalSpace #HospitalHorror #GriefAndLoss #Evelyn #TheBlueCoat #Stairwell #ThirdFloor #VendingMachine #ElevenHours #SurgeryWait #StillWaiting #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurnHorror #QuietDread #CreepyVideos #VideoHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
