ND (Near Death)

Chris falls from a ladder into an empty bath at a house he is renovating. When he wakes, everything seems normal, his tools are on the ground and the ladder is on its side. He is unsure. He rings his wife, Sam, asking her to pick him up as he thinks he has had an accident and doesn’t want to drive. As he goes to leave the building he is confronted with an apparition. At the end of a corridor, he sees an open door but before he can get to it, it slams shut.
Again, Chris finds himself waking in the empty bath. The tools on the floor are children’s plastic toys. He is unsettled. He tries to dial emergency services but there is no signal. On leaving the bathroom he finds himself on a different floor, lined with large paintings. The apparition races towards him from the other end of the corridor. He finds an exit leading to some stairs and tries to escape. Clambering down several flights of stairs he tries to get to the outside door but again it slams shut in front of him.
A third time Chris wakes in the bath, but everything is blood red. When he sees the tools have become jigsaw pictures, he kicks them away in a rage. On leaving the bathroom he passes through the apparition which gives him a jolt. He presses on, finding himself scrambling down twice as many flights of stairs, pursued by the Spector. Within steps of the ground floor, he grabs his chest him pain, collapsing to the floor. The open door beckons, so Chris attempts to crawl towards it, but he is pulled back into the house and again the outer door slams shut.
Sam races into the bathroom to find Chris unconscious in the tub. She struggles to pull him out, but after many tries, she manages to pull him onto the floor. She calls emergency services, gives them directions to the old house and follows their instructions to attempt to revive him. All seems hopeless and Sam’s emotions get the better of her. Fighting through tears she can’t give up and battles on to resuscitate Chris.
Two paramedics burst through the door and took over. After a time, Chris takes his first breath. Sam is relieved to see he is alive. As Sam and the paramedics lead Chris along the corridor to the outer door it appears to open. Sam notices something about Chris’s expression, as the door slams shut. Everything goes dark.
Chris opens his eyes. He is back in the bath.
