Blessed Swell by Kris P. Kreme
If there is one thing furthest from the minds of college coeds Olivia, Jamie, and Kate, it’s being a mother. They are faced with the real world just a short two semesters away, a real world where careers may succeed or fail, but where the option of choosing motherhood isn’t considered.
Taking a road trip, the three find themselves at the Blessed Swell Hospital after a minor accident injures one of them. Their future goals are about to change once the true secret of Blessed Swell is revealed.
Life after college means jumping right into the world, and that is one dive three coeds are not quite prepared for. Best friends, Olivia, Jamie, and Kate, are taking a semester off before their final year, before the final two semesters decide whether they succeed at a career or fail.
To ease into the real world, to gain a small foothold in preparation, the three are on a road trip, traveling across country, getting out and seeing the real world they soon will be a part of. Unfortunately, as diverse as the three may be, none is prepared for the unexpected in the form of a small accident which leaves one of the girls with a nasty bump on the head.
Seeking out a nearby hospital, in the backwoods mountains they so happen to be traveling through, the three girls come across Blessed Swell Hospital, apparently the town hospital for some bizarrely named place called Blessed Swell.
Oddly enough the facility looks incredibly modern, contrasting sharply with the wooded surroundings, and hopefully modern outside means not to big a delay in their trip.
Once inside the doors though, everything begins to go wrong, in ways none of them ever could have predicted. Olivia, their friend with the minor head wound is taken up to be examined, Jamie and Kate told to wait in the lobby. After time passes and the reading material available proves to Jamie and Kate that something is not quite right with this hospital, something just not what is seems, the two of them demand to go see their friend, heading up in the elevator when not being ogled by the creepy guy behind the desk.
In a hospital as fancy as the one this seems to be, there are several very noticeable peculiarities, not the least of which is the fact that there are no stairs, the stairs claimed to be out of order. The most puzzling though quickly becomes the strange music playing on the elevator, music which over time sinks inside, swaying the girl’s thoughts, swaying their focus and attention.
When they find Olivia in her examination room doing something the old Olivia never would have done, both Jamie and Kate know they have to report this and call for help.
No matter where each of them turn, all roads lead to the elevator and floor by floor, music playing, something is manipulating these girls, changing them into what Olivia already has become.
They chose this journey to explore the real world but things may just be getting more real than they can handle. Will they find success in their future or will they find failure? Will they find neither and discover that Blessed Swell has a hold of them, destining all three girls for a fate much more pleasurable, one which gives them more than their own blessed swells?
