Heartbeat
It’s been hours since Jay had left the parking lot after receiving footage from Tim. A little after two in the morning. He couldn’t bring himself to sleep. He had been editing on and off since he got home. That footage was hard to watch and listen to, so he had to take breaks to just sit and think.
Jay thought he was done editing, but he felt the need to keep going back to double check something he heard. He couldn’t tell if he was actually hearing what he thought he was.
Is that..? No, it can’t be..
He watched the footage again. On the screen was the wall from that abandoned hospital. ‘He is a liar’ written on the wall. Tim backed up and fell on the cold floor with a thud. The chest mounted camera kept recording the ceiling. Tim didn’t get up. Jay felt his heart sink.
Again, he rewound the footage. This time putting the volume all the way up. He swore he heard a heart beating. Tim’s heart beating. Pounding. Loud. He pushed the laptop away, shaking his head. Tim’s heart was beating so hard and loud that the thumps could be heard from the chest camera.
Stomach turning inside out, Jay grabbed the laptop and went to the crappy hotel bed. He laid down with the laptop next to him. Playing the audio again, he closed his eyes. Just listening.
