Step Inside The 7th Floor
There are places where the past never really leaves. It lingers in stale waiting rooms, hums through fluorescent lights, rides the elevator between floors, and whispers from behind doors that should have stayed closed.
The 7th Floor is a chilling work of psychological horror about Christopher Tillman, a 73-year-old veteran whose monthly trip to the VA hospital becomes far more than another routine treatment. Haunted by memories of family, illness, war, and his father’s warning—“Careful, Chris, or you’ll catch the cancer”—Chris finds himself drawn into a place where grief and fear have taken on a life of their own.
Set against the oppressive heat of rural Maine and the aging halls of Togus, the story blends stark realism with creeping dread. Every detail feels familiar enough to be true: the cracked vinyl seats, the smell of old coffee and medicine, the long waits, the damaged men who carry wars home in their bodies and minds. But beneath that realism is something darker—something that seems to live inside the hospital itself.
