All-Ages Abandoned Hospital Ghost Tale -- 2

I’m looking for a skilled storyteller to craft a horror ghost story that anyone—from curious kids to seasoned genre fans—can enjoy. The entire tale should unfold inside a long-shuttered hospital, drawing its chills from atmosphere, mystery, and the lingering spirits that haunt the wards rather than graphic gore.

What I need is a tightly written narrative that:
• Sets a suspenseful tone from the opening scene
• Uses rich sensory detail—creaking gurneys, flickering lights, echoing hallways—to build dread
• Develops relatable characters whose fates keep readers turning pages
• Delivers a twist ending that satisfies yet leaves a shiver

Please keep the language age-appropriate while maintaining genuine horror tension. Aim for 5,000–7,000 words, delivered as a clean, proofread DOCX file.

Acceptance criteria
• Gripping hook within the first page
• Consistent horror atmosphere suitable for all ages
• Clear resolution that ties back to earlier clues
• Manuscript free of grammatical errors and ready for publication

If this setting and style excite you, send over a brief sample or a link to similar work so I can gauge the fit. I’m eager to collaborate on a ghost story that lingers long after the lights go out.
