Abandoned Building

Once, I was scouting an abandoned hospital building for a movie. I started to go into a large common room, and my guide said, “Oh, don’t go in there.” I asked why and he said, “because that floor is severely water damaged, and you’ll fall through into the basement.”

You’d NEVER have known from looking at it – it looked like every other room we’d gone through. And I realized that if I had been exploring alone, I’d absolutely have wound up in a pile of rubble in the basement, with a broken leg or spine or worse.

Prior to this, there was nothing I loved more than exploring abandoned places like hospitals and schools, often alone. After? I now assume every abandoned building is like a killer in the shadows looking to get me the moment I let my guard down. Hasn’t happened yet… But you never know…
