      Hospital Experiments - Alec Silva

      About the short story

      A few years ago, when I still had some illusions, a regulation for an anthology appeared and it left me quite excited; the proposal was simple: write a terror/horror short story that happened within a hospital. From what I've heard afterwards, the one who got selected had explored monsters, psychopaths and demons, describing grotesque scenes and complicated procedures that ended up not being successful.

      When the deadline was coming to an end, a simple idea came to my mind, a quite silly one: while I was watching a show about an exhibition of dissected human bodies, if I'm not mistaken, I wondered if those bodies that were used belonged to people that really had died or if they were killed for that purpose. At first, it was just a pathetic questioning, but soon it started to shape other points, leading me to other directions: what if the hospital studies of future doctors were something more than only examining a body that was lifeless for a few days? And, thus, the following story was born.

      Since the anthology wasn't released and I have problems with boxed short stories, here it is another attempt of mine to the horror and gore. It's a short story with those typical disgusting stuff of the gore genre, violent deaths and a cretin closure. Rereading it for this virtual edition, I've realized that it's more than
