Strange people can be very frightening. People who act in an unpredictable way, like the man in the hospital waiting room I mentioned before. Their presence alone can create a sense of unease and danger. Also, the setting can play a big part. If it's a dilapidated or dimly - lit waiting room, it adds to the horror. Old, decaying furniture and flickering lights all contribute to the spooky atmosphere.
Once, I was in a waiting room at a dentist's office. There was a creepy old portrait on the wall. As I sat there, it felt like the eyes in the portrait were following me. Every time I looked up, I got this uneasy feeling. It made the waiting seem even longer and more dreadful.
The theme might be about anticipation and the passage of time. Since it's set in a waiting room, characters are in a state of waiting, which implies anticipation for something to come.
There was a time in my old apartment. I often smelled a strange, putrid smell in my room. I searched everywhere but couldn't find the source. One day, I found that there was a dead rat in the ventilation duct. It had been there for who knows how long, and that was the cause of the horrible smell.
